Our Care Team

Parkview is always striving to improve resident care. To reach this goal we work closely with residents and families to understand their needs, the views of health care professionals in the area and health care experts. For example our staff works closely with the Geriatric Unit at St. Joseph’s Hospital, the Psychogeriatric Unit at St. Peters Rehabilitation and the Pneumonia Research project through McMaster University. Our professional team includes staff who focus on nursing, life enrichment, dietary, environmental services, community resources and volunteers. More about our team is described here.
