Living longer doesn’t have to mean getting “old.”

What is your age? It goes on everything from your driver’s license to your insurance card! Age is just a number. What really matters is how old you feel.

At Park Centre, a Wesleylife Active Living Community, we know Life can be meaningful at any age.

Focusing on how to age successfully is core to everything we do.

Our services transform the aging experience with a focus on health and well-being.

Park Centre has immediate openings in independent and assisted living. Please call Margot for more details.
