Parkside Court

We're very impressed with Parkside Court. It's an excellent facility, and we didn't see anything we didn't like. The apartments were adequately sized. The place was very good. We saw the people eating, and it looked like they were happy. One time we were there, they were playing games in the dining room.

I didn't like Parkside Court. Some of the rooms were nice and had nice balconies, but they're small and the price was high. The gentleman who showed the place to me didn't act like he really cared whether we checked into it any further or not. He quickly showed me through, and then another woman handed me the packet. The gentleman was nice, but he wasn't a very good representative. They had this deal where you eat at certain hours, and that probably should be changed. I think the open times to eat are much better than set times to eat.

My mother-in-law has already moved into Parkside Court. We are very pleased with the housekeeping. They come in every week and clean, they provide sheets and change the beds, and they bring towels and the toilet tissue. They have all the meals prepared in the dining hall, in which there are usually 4 choices that you could pick from. We like the fact that they have snacks after hours. After the dining room has closed, there is a refrigerator that has got usually sandwiches and desserts, and they have all the snacks available in that form. They do activities with them. They have euchre, dominoes, and puzzles; they have all sorts of things like that. They will provide transportation if you need it. They’ll take you to the doctors’ appointments or the hairdresser, and they will pick up prescriptions; they do all of that. The managers are very nice. They try to be on a level with the people as far as calling them by names so they know exactly who it is; that really impressed our family. The housekeepers and the people in the dining hall do the same thing. So when they walk by they say, “Hi, so and so,” and from that aspect, it is very inviting. They bring in entertainment for them. A lot of times after their lunch meal or after the dinner meal, they will have entertainment. They also have crafts; they have everything for you. You could actually live there, and they provide everything. It is just like if you were in a condo situation or an apartment building. It is very clean, and there is somebody cleaning and stuff almost continuously, so when you go in you see somebody cleaning. It is 2-floors, and they have 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, and the efficiency apartment. They also have a hairdresser there too. I like the fact that if anybody could move in there and you are independent, you can come and go if you please, and you don’t have to sign in or sign out. The building is locked at night after a certain time that you have keys, and every family member gets keys, so they can come and go. You can come into the apartment at any time, and you are not limited to any of that. It is just the atmosphere of the whole place, and everybody is really friendly there.

Parkside Court was wonderful. The staff was kind, compassionate, and helpful. The rooms were small, but it’s just what I need. There’s a small gym, they have a driver, and they have a free cable. It’s the first I visited, and I liked it so much.

Parkside Court is very nice and clean. It has nice people. The staff is friendly and helpful. My mom's room is small but adequate. She does not care for the food; she thinks it's just okay. They have a shuttle service and crafts. The grounds are beautiful. The facility is in a good location and is very easy to get to. It's more affordable than what people might think.

Parkside Court is excellent and quiet. The manager who on-site has a lab that's there all the time so it didn't put her off that I had a 113-pound dog. The dining room was restaurant-style. It's very open and beautiful, and they give you many options.

Parkside Court was very clean, and there wasn't an odor. Everybody was really friendly and going out of their way, even the residents that were there were very nice. I was really impressed with the cleanliness and the fact that they had it set up with art pieces on the walls. It really looked upscale and really nice. They had bingo, travel programs, a crafts room, a lounge room with TV, and a beautician on-site. The managers live there. There is a nurse on-site all of the time, which is very comforting to me. Mom said it was 5-star dining and everything was really fresh. They had a snack room where the residents can just go in and everything will be provided, which is part of your monthly allotment. They can have fresh fruits and vegetables as snacks. The dining area had white tablecloths on it and people were being waited on just like in a real restaurant.

Parkside Court was nice and clean, but I couldn’t afford it. The rooms were, in my opinion, too small for the cost. Their staff was very nice.
