Parkside Homes

Fulfilling life dreams! What happens when someone over 80 years old says that she or he would like to ride on a motorcycle, then another says she always liked the sidecar and would like to ride in one of those?
At Parkside Homes, Glenn Thiessen asked Gordon Wiebe and Larry Heidel to join him in a special activity Wednesday morning.
Glenn and Gordon brought their motorcycles and Larry brought his cycle with the sidecar. Dreams came true for some of those residents who wished to ride. Their smiles were priceless as they were helped on the back or into the sidecar of the cycles. Watching them enjoying their rides was as much fun as riding!
This past Tuesday evening we were treated to a visit from Steve Millett and his dog, Bo. Steve will be bringing Bo for weekly visits for a while.
Would you be willing to help us fulfill our elders' dreams? Could you take someone to McDonald's for coffee or take someone fishing? Could you escort a "young" lady for a walk/run to train for the Emma Creek Run next year? Could you just include them in something you like to do?
We are open for suggestions. Nothing is too small, call Parkside and ask for Peggy 947-2301
