My mother-in-law recently moved into Parkland Memory Care. I was very impressed with the person that we talked to at the beginning. She was very passionate and knowledgeable about the whole disease process. She had been doing it for many, many years and I was very impressed with that. Everybody so far has been extremely kind, welcoming, caring, and willing to help.
We saw and toured the building. They mix levels; they don't separate. I like the decor, and the light, open look. From what I can see, it looks very clean. The residents seemed happy, and they had some activities going on. Twister was going on and it was pretty cute.
They take them on field trips and some other things. They're very busy and they don't let them stay in their rooms. They make them come out to the area where everybody is out there with the rest of the people. They have the salon with the pedicure, manicure, and hair. They have a pharmacy, but we haven't done any of that yet.
It's an excellent location. It's a mile and a half from our house and is right around the corner.
They showed us a menu and it looked good. They have a therapy dog that comes in and they will let us bring our dog together with his records and registration. My mother-in-law likes her dog.
They said that they have a furniture package, but we already have them at the other place. I will just look over and move it. But it looks like you can do it either way. They encourage a single bed because they thought it would be better, but it wasn't necessary.
It looks great, clean, and welcoming. I know we're paying a little bit more over there than we were paying but if it helps and it does her good, it's worth every penny.

I recently toured this community and was really impressed with the amenities, rooms, and outdoor areas. The staff was friendly, and were very helpful, explaining the process of moving in and also showing the community and the activities that were going on when I visited. This community was the nicest one we visited.
