Cultural Programs

Many Cultures, One Heart

When a loved one requires 24/7 care, it’s crucial that they live in a setting where their culture is respected, and their language is understood. At AristaCare at Parkside, we provide personalized long-term care and short-term rehabilitation services that embrace the diversity of our communities and their unique cultural needs. Our goal is to honor and preserve the cultural heritage of our residents, fostering a sense of belonging for both them and their families as they age.
