Assisted Living Reviews for Park Plaza

I visited this facility

Park Plaza was a very pleasant place with a very friendly and very helpful staff, very good food, good accomodations, and nice amenities. They have a nice library, which is important to my mother-in-law. They have quite a number of clubs and shopping activities. They have transportation to doctors, and I was impressed by the idea that they have crafts available and computers downstairs, too. They have nice viewing rooms and places for people to visit each other.

I chose Park Plaza for my husband because of the service they provide. He has his own apartment that's small but very nice. They have activities like bingo and various exercise programs; it's a fun place.

I looked at Park Plaza, and it was very nice. I liked the patio, the library, the swimming pool, and the size of the rooms. I like the way it's set up like little apartments.

My mom is a resident of Park Plaza. I like its cleanliness, their staff and amenities, and the food and the choices they have. I like pretty much everything about it. They're all good. We did look at several other places before we chose this one. I like the staff. They're probably the best thing about this facility. They're very friendly and very accommodating. Regarding activities, they have tons of stuff going on. They have movie nights, exercise classes, brain classes, and Bible studies. They would have music and dance that come in, they have activities where they take them out to grocery stores, and they go out for Sunday drive. They do endless activities. I would absolutely recommend this facility to others. My mom is very happy and very well adjusted there.

It's a good facility. There are various selections of rooms to pick from - studios, one bedroom, and two bedroom. We got the two bedroom one for grandma and grandpa. They use one room to sleep in and one room as the reading/work room. The living room has a sofa and TV, and the kitchenette has a simple stove and a small refrigerator. Chores are included in the monthly payment; everything from cleaning to taking out the trash is taken care of. There are numerous amenities in the facility, including a thermostat and a balcony. Central to all the units is a courtyard. Residents can swim or just lounge around in one of the chairs. There's also an exercise facility on site as well as a library. If residents want to leave the facility, there is a transportation vehicle that will take them to the grocery market, doctor, etc, as long as the location is within a certain mile radius. For a monthly cost that is under $3000, we think that this is an affordable, nice place for my grandparents to spend their last years.

We visited the Park Plaza assisted living facility while searching for a place for our aunt to live in the area. The outside area was very nicely maintained and nice seating areas. The grounds outside offer easy access for residents, where they can enjoy walking around freely safely each day. We could see that there is also plenty of space to have cookouts, parties and picnics. The main greeting room was fresh and bright with very nice decorations and furniture. Throughout the facility, all of the indoor rooms had plenty of fresh air and light. Each room was beautifully decorated and furnished. The colors throughout the building were soothing and comfortable. Communal activity rooms were spacious, with comfortable furniture. The seniors can easily socialize, make crafts, play games, watch TV and films and participate in many stimulating activities. The facility seemed to be able to accommodate all levels of ambulation. The private rooms featured plenty of space in nicely decorated surroundings. All had a great deal of natural light and fresh air with very comfortable furniture and appeared to be nicely personalized. The dining room was quite nice, with plenty of space. The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus all had healthy food options for all kinds of diets. Healthy snacks are offered all day and into the evening, as well as whenever residents request them. Seniors can use the exercise room at any time and also go on daily walks. Aerobics and yoga classes are offered. The residents go on trips to visit the many region's art galleries and museums, eat at casual and fine restaurants and enjoy the many other cultural events offered. The residents here looked very content and were well cared for by kind and considerate staff in this living environment.

We were very please with Park Plaza and its staff. They all seemed to be courteous, pleasant and knowledgeable. This extended from the housekeeping staff, through the dining room staff, receptionist, event coordinators, sales director, manager, etc. The facility is very neat and clean and cheerful. Their food is surprisingly good and you can tell that the chef puts a lot of thought and effort into putting together tasty and nutritious menus for their residents. There are many activities offered so resident may choose to be as active as they wish. They are located three blocks from Orange Senior Center and Old Town Orange Circle which offers a variety of shops and dining.
