Causes: Health, Nursing Facilities, Seniors

Mission: Provide quality, holistic, and loving care in a home that enhances the lives of our residents and families that we serve.

Programs: Parkside lutheran home, a 40-bed skilled nursing facility, is dedicated to caring for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our residents. To care for the physical needs we have a staff of rn's, lpn's, and certified nursing assistants available 24 hours per day. Each room is equipped with an emergency call system so help is never far away. In november of 2009, construction was completed on the two new units for private rooms and 10-bed basic care units, and these units were occupied. Each resident has an individual care plan developed at the time of admission. This plan is resident specific including all nursing cares, dietary needs/wants, as well as social service needs and activities. Our activities include bingo, baking, and crafts such as painting and bead work. We strive to provide care that enables each resident to achieve his or her highest level of physical and mental functioning. With this in mind we are able to carry out parkside's mission which is: "provide quality, holistic, and loving care in a home that enhances the lives of our residents and families that we serve. "
