A legacy of warmth and compassion

Carl Campbell and his wife Betty opened Parkside, their first care facility in Wenatchee, in 1954. It had 44 beds. Betty was the cook and nurse and Carl was the bookkeeper and orderly, washing dishes and doing maintenance work. Their children, Danny and Kathy, performed various chores around the facility and literally grew up in the nursing home.

In the years since their humble beginnings, the Campbells have built or acquired more than 180 centers in 21 states - including Colonial Vista, which was established in 1968. Their vision and labor have made possible the extension of medical, social, and cultural services in an environment of warmth and compassion that challenges, uplifts, and encourages human beings.
