LECOM Health announced the purchase of Independence Court of Erie and has renamed the location Parkside at Glenwood. 

The facility offers enhanced personal care and a memory care unit. 

LECOM said the addition of Parkside at Glenwood will afford them the opportunity to serve even more residents in need of assisted living and care. 

Current residents will not be affected by the sale, and all staff members were extended the opportunity to be retained. 

With the addition of Parkside at Glenwood, the LECOM Institute for Successful Aging now includes eight senior living communities throughout northwest Pennsylvania.
