Rose 2021-11-23 We went to Parkwood Estates. I liked the rooms. The grounds were very nice. They didn't seem to have very many things for the people staying there to do. The kitchens were kind of lacking. They just had a tiny little refrigerator in there, and there wasn't very much counter space. They're just very small. What they could improve on is, I think, they could put a full-size kitchen sink, a full-size refrigerator, more cabinets, and more counterspace in there. The staff who assisted me was wonderful. The facilities were very good. There's a shopping area about two blocks away. I visited this facility

Ted 2021-06-24 I lived in Parkwood Estates around 2-1/2 years ago. It's a nice-looking building and a lot of trees around it. It's not too soundproof between the apartments, and they tried to mix Mexican and Southwest dishes a lot. It's not New England cuisine or Southern cuisine. I don't care for Mexican food, and they use a lot of foreign names that describe dishes. It's like if you would get in a Mexican place and 90% of the people don't know what the taco's about, and that was the biggest problem. The staff was nice and the housekeeping people. They have a library, pool room, a little gym, and salon. I think it's a 40-year old building, but it's very fireproof, so that was good. I am/was a resident of this facility

Cindy 2021-06-05 Parkwood Estates was nice, but they're way out of our price range. The staff was wonderful and friendly. They do arts and crafts and puzzles, and they have an open kitchen for all residents to use. Also, it wasn't enough square footage for my friend, as far as the apartment went. It's a very, very nice senior living facility, and the grounds were beautiful. I visited this facility

Brenda 2021-03-22 My mother moved into Parkwood Estates. I chose it just because of the good feel. She's very happy there. She's got a little studio, and it's very cute. The food has been really good. The staff has been really nice. They're on lockdown because of COVID, and then she should be able to start getting the full experience. What's nice about it is it's kind of in between. They've got the dining hall, so she doesn't have to cook. It's independent, but with a little extra help, which is what she needed. They've been bringing food to the rooms because they've been on lockdown. She has breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and she's been thrilled, and she likes it a lot. It's a lot of comfort food like she's used to. She's been really happy with the food. They're gonna start activities again. They had some COVID cases, so they were on lockdown, and they're just getting out of lockdown. They have already signed her up to do PT, and they're gonna have some other things going on. They're having an Easter egg hunt, which her great, great granddaughter is going to. They're doing what they can under the circumstances. It's older, but it's very clean. Her studio is really nice and very clean. They've maintained the facility really well. My husband's parents were in the same kind of deal, and it was more than twice as much, so I feel it's a great value for money for what Mom's getting at Parkwood Estates. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Bright Guardian 2020-06-20 Not a very hospitable environment to live in. The women at the front desk, is terribly rude to visitors and residents alike. Individuals have been physically assaulted by other residents where the police had to be called in. Multiple residents have had to be evicted due to their extremely bad behavior. The food is only fair as we have lost multiple chefs due to poor working conditions and cannot seem to keep good cooks. The facility is very dated and desperately in need of new paint inside and out. Most all of the carpeting in hallways, dining area and common areas needs replacing. Think again before sending a loved one to Parkwood Estates. I am/was a resident of this facility

Nlshalansky 2020-04-20 The residents are great. Staff is great. The food needs improvement. They have dinner and lunch menus reversed. We need better dinner menu. I like sandwiches for lunch but not for dinner. One time only I thought I’d died and gone to heaven when there was a baked potato, fish and vegetables. Please better dinner menu’s not lunch menu for dinner. Everything else is great. I am/was a resident of this facility

Carol 2019-12-01 My mother has moved into Parkwood Estates. Everything has been great. She said she really likes it there and everybody is so nice. She likes the food, and all the staff has been very accommodating to us in every way. I don't have any complaints about the place at all. They play card games, Scrabble, Wii, bingo, cooking activities, bocce ball, golf, and balloon volleyball. They have a GPS system that they wear and they can push the button if they have an emergency. The meals I had were good. She can also ask for a half order because she doesn't eat a lot. She is in a studio and it's bigger than others and more in her price range. Even though it's an older facility they have maintained it well. Her room has a walk-in closet, and it's very clean and attractive. The carpets have been cleaned and the walls looked fresh when she moved in. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

S.E. 2019-06-24 We visited Parkwood Estates and really liked it. It was really nice, and the woman in charge of sales was very pleasant.

Rosemarie 2018-04-29 I visited Parkwood Estates, but the gal was new, and she was not very nice. She told me she's been doing this for 28 years. I thought the prices were too high and she suggested I go to a place next door where there were a lot of parties going on. I did not like her attitude at all. The apartment that I saw had a sink and a refrigerator, a little patio, a bathroom, but it was way too small for the two of us. The place was a lot older too compared to the other ones I saw. The person who was in charge of exercises and activities was very nice and very informative. The lady who gave me the tour could take a lot of lessons from her. I visited this facility

JL 2017-10-31 My dad lived at Parkwood Estates for about a year. They would provide meals, housekeeping, and if you wanted to have a PT or OT, they had in-house folks available. They had daily activities, like light or gentle exercises and guest speakers who come in to talk about books or history once a week. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Mary437144 2016-07-14 At Parkwood, I did not get the full tour, but the staff was very friendly, and the place was nice. It was in a country setting and was not as modern or contemporary. I would say it needed updating, but some people want it that way. I visited this facility

Marilyn685137 2016-06-28 My mom was in Parkwood Estates. It is totally independent and didn’t do anything with the residents. They had meals with them, but they didn’t go get them for activities. They’re on their own there, but my mom has too much dementia. The location and the facility itself were nice. I am a friend or relative of a resident

MJ13 2016-05-10 Parkwood Estate had a really nice floor plan, and everyone was really friendly and nice, both the residents and the staff. I liked the dining area, where the seniors were enjoying themselves. The apartments were great and had a kitchen, living area, patio, and a separate bathroom with appropriate senior measures for safety. It had a pretty generously sized bedroom that was separate ,and everything was staged nicely, so you could really get a picture of someone happily living there. I visited this facility

Hello Rose, we appreciate you giving us the chance to improve by providing us with this feedback. Most of our models have kitchenettes for residents to prepare small meals and snacks for themselves. Residents have the opportunity to enjoy a full dining experience with 3 nutritious meals a day. We will take this feedback and look for ways to better our community for residents and team members. We are happy you felt that our community was nice! We hope for the opportunity to see you again, our team would be happy to work with you. Thank you

Hi there, thank you for your review. We regret to hear that you have not been completely satisfied with your experience in our community. A new chef has been brought into our community, and our food has received many compliments over the past few weeks since this change has been made. We are also undergoing some updates to our building with exterior paint and a new roof being installed this year. Any issues involving aggression are rare and handled appropriately. If you would like to discuss your concerns further, please do not hesitate to reach out to the community directly. Thank you
