Park Place Assisted Living

I toured Park Place Assisted Living. The first thing that struck me when I walked into the place is there were residents there that were playing games and laughing. The staff seemed overly friendly, and the place was clean and had a lot of windows and it was bright. It was just a cheerful place. Other places I looked at were depressing. The rooms were wonderful and were all individual rooms. Because my mother is going to need financial assistance, probably Medicaid, she still gets a private room. She doesn't have to share the room. The rooms were big and extremely clean. I was impressed. They were serving lunch when I was there, and it looked good. I did ask one of the residents there how the food was, and they said great. It's a very old facility, but it's very well-maintained.

Two family members lived here over a 5 yr period,including through Coved. Friendly staff and front office.A few long term employees however they do have high turnover. The nursing staff seemed to be different every yr or so. Our loved ones were treated with kindness and for the most part their needs were meant,thats not to say at times we requested a bit more oversight. WE did appreciate phone call regarding any changes in care plans.(higher charges of course) As with most facilities food is high in carbs. Once loved one no longer in need of facility getting a refund for second half of month has been a challenge. Our loved one resided in a different Nampa location and PP definatly a better place.

We went to Park Place Assisted Living. It's generally kind of dingy, the roof ceilings were low and my wife didn't like that area at all. The people were friendly and nice, but we just didn't like the facilities. I think it was an older institution, so it goes back some 20 years or so, maybe even 30 years, and so it needed some upgrading. We did see the dining area, but we didn't try the food. The dining area looked okay and similar to other places we looked at. It looked like they had games and things of that nature to keep people busy. They had a grand piano in the front area, which was fairly spacious, so anyone could play it. I guess they loved to do that. My wife is a music teacher, and piano teacher, so that kind of sparked her interest. The memory care was OK, but not particularly outstanding as far as I can see.

We visited several people at Park Place at one time. Entertainers would come in, and we listened to them singing. They did a good job caring for the people there. It was maybe a little bit better place than the others, but it's been a while too since we've been there. It was summer of 2018. They said they needed people to visit other people that didn't get visits from anybody. We were kind of reluctant to do that. We knew this other gal, and she became a dear friend; but when it's a perfect stranger you're going to see, you don't always know if you're going to hit it off. We really didn't hit it off with these other people. It was kind of awkward, so we didn't pursue it. We went there a couple of times and made an attempt to try to befriend these elderly folks. It was a nice place. It was bigger than the others, and it seemed like they always needed help there. They're always advertising for help, so I don't know if they're short staffed or what the deal is. Every time we drive by, they're always needing help for positions. It's right across the street from a park, and it's in a nice neighborhood. The staff members we met were really nice and friendly. I didn't have any problem with them. It's kept up very well.

We looked into Park Place. It's close; it's in our hometown where my parents still live. The response of the staff was excellent. They were very prompt in returning calls and setting things up. Because of COVID, they weren't letting people see it, but they made a special provision for us to be able to go see it. The price was good, and the rooms were huge compared to the other places we visited. We just felt like my dad is going to get good care and is going to be comfortable there. It's an older building, but they have kept it up really nicely. The one that we're going to be moving my dad into is a studio with a bathroom, and it has new carpet. The rooms are very large, they're private rooms, and are not shared rooms. They have big closets, too. They have activities, they have three meals a day, they do laundry, they supply sheets and towels, and they have an in-house medical doctor who comes in once a week and is on call as needed, which is really nice. They also have a really nice central area where they'll have carnivals and dances. They have sitting areas, and they have libraries -- one in memory care and one in the main assisted living. Also, there is a big activity room where there are a bunch of puzzles. It is very large, but the memory care is quite small and pretty average, with fourteen residents.

My mom was a resident at Park Place from February 2013 to January 2016. She was treated with love and respect, and she enjoyed the interaction with the residents and staff. We, as family, always found the facility to be clean and the staff friendly and helpful.. We occasionally ate at the facility and always enjoyed the meals. The family dining room and guest room were nice to have available.
