Overview of Parkside Assisted Living

Parkside Assisted Living is an assisted living community and nursing home, operated by Encore Wisconsin LLC, since its certification on February 15, 2021, in DeForest, Wisconsin. The community offers assisted living services and skilled nursing care with 40 licensed beds, providing older adults in Dane County with a more intimate, residential care.

With 37 beds occupied, the community’s occupancy rate is in line with the Wisconsin state average, at approximately 92.5%. Additionally, the community has been inspected by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Quality Assurance, five times, three of which concluded without issues. On December 22, 2025, the most recent inspection concluded with 7 deficiencies, which is still below the Wisconsin state average of 12 deficiencies.

Providing assistance with daily living activities and nursing home-level skilled nursing, the community appeals to those seeking assisted living services and those who require complex medical needs. The community also offers home-based lifestyle programming, news and events engagement, and access to caregiver resources. Financial assistance programs, including Medicaid Family Care, the IRIS self-direction program, and VA Aid and Attendance benefits for eligible veterans and spouses, are also accepted, helping families navigate costs.

With its dual care designation, covering assisted living and nursing home levels of care, Parkside Assisted Living is a practical choice for those who are looking for multiple levels of care to accommodate their needs, if ever it progresses. The community’s smaller setting is also suited for those who value independent and hands-on support.
