Parkland Reserve in Parkland Florida Real Estate

Centerline Homes, Florida's premiere hometown builder, is excited to announce the preview opening at its brand new Parkland Reserve community. These outstanding single family homes feature 3, 4 and 5 bedrooms with up to 4 full baths. A total of five new floor plans are available, featuring one and two-story designs. In addition to these exciting designs, Parkland Reserve features an outstanding location. Located in Parkland, this neighborhood is close to shopping, parks and top-rated schools. The Sawgrass Expressway, located 2 miles south of Parkland Reserve provides commuters easy access to any destination.

"There has been a lot of interest in Parkland Reserve" stated Deb Marton, Vice President of Sales for Centerline Homes. "The Parkland, FL location and pricing from the mid $300's have generated quite a few inquiries. We are very excited about opening our three furnished model homes."

One of the new designs featured at Parkland Reserve, is The Bryce model a 4 bedroom, 3 bath single story home. Featuring over 2,300 square feet of living area, The Bryce has the perfect combination of family and private spaces. Although there is a formal living and dining room for entertaining, the heart of this home is the large kitchen and family room. Located in the rear of the home, to maximize indoor/outdoor living, this area was designed for everyday family gatherings. The kitchen features an "Island" design with a breakfast bar and a walk-in pantry. The luxurious master suite, also oriented to the rear of the home, features an enormous walk-in closet and a separate bath complete with soaking tub and stall shower as well as his-and her vanities and a conveniently located linen closet. Two secondary bedrooms, each with large closets, share a bath and second linen closet, and are located just steps from the laundry room. The fourth bedroom, and third full bath - separated from all of the other bedrooms - make a perfect guest suite, in-law suite, teen suite or even an at-home office.

Every Parkland Reserve home comes complete with Centerline Homes' Luxury Bonus package. The included features are as exciting as the designs. Kitchens feature granite counter tops and maple cabinetry with 42" upper cabinets. A whirlpool appliance package, including washer & dryer, is also an included feature at Parkland Reserve. Also standard are impact-resistant windows and doors, concrete "S"-style roofs and brick paver driveways, walkways and covered rear patios.

"Centerline Homes works hard to create value for all of our purchasers," Marton continued. "The included features at Parkland Reserve are nothing short of incredible."

November is Alzheimer's Awareness Month Here are 10 warning signs of Alzheimer's

10 warning signs of Alzheimer's

  1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life. One of the most common signs of Alzheimer's is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own.
    1. What's typical? Sometimes forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later.
  2. Challenges in planning or solving problems. Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before.
    1. What's typical? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook.
  3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure. People with Alzheimer's often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game.
    1. What's typical? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show.
  4. Confusion with time or place. People with Alzheimer's can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there.
    1. What's typical? Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later.
  5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships. For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer's. They may have difficulty reading, judging distance and determining color or contrast. In terms of perception, they may pass a mirror and think someone else is in the room. They may not realize they are the person in the mirror.
    1. What's typical? Vision changes related to cataracts.
  6. New problems with words in speaking or writing. People with Alzheimer's may have trouble following or joining a conversation. They may stop in the middle of a conversation and have no idea how to continue or they may repeat themselves. They may struggle with vocabulary, have problems finding the right word or call things by the wrong name (e.g., calling a "watch" a "hand-clock").
    1. What's typical? Sometimes having trouble finding the right word.
  7. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps. A person with Alzheimer's disease may put things in unusual places. They may lose things and be unable to go back over their steps to find them again. Sometimes, they may accuse others of stealing. This may occur more frequently over time.
    1. What's typical? Misplacing things from time to time, such as a pair of glasses or the remote control.
  8. Decreased or poor judgment. People with Alzheimer's may experience changes in judgment or decision-making. For example, they may use poor judgment when dealing with money, giving large amounts to telemarketers. They may pay less attention to grooming or keeping themselves clean.
    1. What's typical? Making a bad decision once in a while.
  9. Withdrawal from work or social activities. A person with Alzheimer's may start to remove themselves from hobbies, social activities, work projects or sports. They may have trouble keeping up with a favorite sports team or remembering how to complete a favorite hobby. They may also avoid being social because of the changes they have experienced.
    1. What's typical? Sometimes feeling weary of work, family and social obligations.
  10. Changes in mood and personality. The mood and personalities of people with Alzheimer's can change. They can become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful or anxious. They may be easily upset at home, at work, with friends or in places where they are out of their comfort zone.
    1. What's typical? Developing very specific ways of doing things and becoming irritable when a routine is disrupted.

Memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a typical part of aging. It may be a symptom of Alzheimer's, a fatal brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. Every individual may experience one or more of these signs in different degrees. If you notice any of them, please see a doctor.
