PARC Retirement Living

May is mental health awareness month, but it's a topic that is top of mind for us all year long at PARC. We believe mental health IS health, and our Wellness Nurse is here to help all residents explore strategies and connect with resources to help manage any mental health issues they are dealing with.

If anyone knows the ins and outs of senior living in Kelowna, it's Martina Kral. Born and raised in Kelowna, Martina made her mark owning a thriving business in the arts and culture community before becoming a Senior Living Specialist. Her move to senior living was the right decision for Martina and especially for the team at Cristalina PARC. Along with her expertise building lasting connections with community businesses, she has also extended this prowess to residents and their families. She has a genuine belief that investing time to listen and recognize a seniors' rich history, their complexities, interests, hopes and concerns is not only good for business, but also good for building trust and a lasting relationship. #PeopleOfPARC #management #experience #team #retirementcommunity #seniorlivingcommunities #seniorliving #independentliving #residentservices #passion #expertise #cristalina #seniorlivingdesign #Kelowna #retirementliving #kelownabc #kelownaliving #independentseniorliving #okanagan #lakesideliving

Cedar Springs PARC resident Heinz Kuster's painting entitled 'Falls of the Glen' is a stunning showcase of the spring beauty that is emerging now that warmer weather is here. It's also a wonderful reminder of the talent that lives within our community – and the value and importance of artistic expression at every age. 🎨 #IndependentLiving #ActiveLiving #ArtForLife #LifeAtParc

It's National Nurses Week! Oceana PARC decided to pay it forward to local nurses and surprise them with a sweet treat. Team members worked together with some residents who are retired nurses and spent the afternoon packaging mini donuts (150 bags with 5 donut holes each) in cute little bags that read “Thanks a hole bunch!” They also made a card and each of our retired nurses signed it with words of wisdom, including the nursing school they attended and the year that they graduated. They then made a special trip to Peace Arch Hospital to deliver the goodies. #nationalnursesweek #nursesweek #nursing #nurses #activeliving #activeaging #aginggracefully #seniorliving #independentliving #peacearchhospital #whiterock

They say age can be an advantage, and that is definitely the case for elite windsurfer Nikola Girke. ⛵ At 46, she has come out of retirement in an attempt to qualify for a spot at the Paris Olympics this summer, making her the oldest athlete competing in her sport. But her experience, along a few recent changes in the sport, are giving her an edge, and we're thrilled to be her official sponsor. Join us in cheering her on, and read her inspiring story in our latest blog post. #BetterWithAge #ParisOlympics #GoNikolaGirke #Sponsor #RetirementGoals

Our summer opening is coming soon for Cristalina PARC in Kelowna, and last week our Head Office Managers got the opportunity to have a sneak peek of the new building. Joined by our Cristalina managers, PARC's founder Rainer Muller showed the team around, including the unfinished amenity spaces shown here and some furnished display suites. He also shared his vision for the community, explaining how certain design elements will enhance our residents' experience, health and well-being. We can't wait for you to see the finished space! #independentliving #cristalina #retirement #senior #seniorlivingdesign #Kelowna #retirementliving #seniorliving #kelownabc #kelownaliving #independentseniorliving #okanagan #lakesideliving #retirementresidence #seniorlivingprofessionals
