Parkside Court

Parkside has been a great place for my mom for years. She always feels safe, well taken care of and comfortable. Kyla, Abbie and Lisa are always ready to help with any concerns or questions. Having physical/occupational therapy on the property has been very nice so mom doesn’t have to leave home. Mom also loves having a hair stylist on the property. Parkside provides lots of entertainment and activities for its residents. Also bus outings to restaurants and other entertainment. I would highly recommend Parkside.

Parkside Court went above and beyond to help me with a friend and now current resident. Abbie went out of her way to make her feel comfortable and welcomed. Chef Aaron made her a wonderful cherry pie and has checked on her daily. As my friend said, “Tim is the best driver in the whole county.” Everyone has made what could have been a very difficult process easy.

Parkside Court is the only one I visited. The lady there was very kind. She had some options, but this is independent living, so I don't know if my friend is ready for that yet because home care is going to be seeing him for a while. It's very nice. The only thing I think would be helpful is if they had a nurse on staff, just to check on people, and they don't have that. They have some staff, but they're nothing medical. It's very nice. Actually, my brother stays there, and he is on the second floor. We've been very happy with their care. He has been there for a littlw while now and it's been very, very nice. He is very comfortable there. My brother says the food OK. Some days he likes it better than other, but that could be just depending on people's likes and dislikes. But he really likes it there. He's upstairs, but his room is very nice. He has a balcony that he can go out on, which is really nice because it faces the Parkside Drive, which is nice. He is kind of on the corner, so he can see the corner of the street, that's Central, and then the part of Parkside, and there's a school over there and the playground, so it's kind of nice he can see kids and he loves it outside there. He did a buy-in with them, which is really nice. He is on a fixed income, it works out great because he only gets so much a month, and they locked it in with this is buy-in, which is a nice option. You don't have to, but it's a nice option, especially people like that on a fixed income. He likes the activities a lot, and they even have some outdoor activities in the summer, which have been nice. They have a sitting area, it's got a permanent canopy thing over it, which is nice, because if it's cooler or really warm, they can sit out there. The lawn that they have done is beautiful. It's very attractive, the whole front. They are very cordial when you enter. During the virus thing, they were having people sign in and they would check your temp. There was a temp device there. I guess at one point they did have medical staff, which was really nice. That's the only thing that I think would be a great asset to go back to. The lady was very cordial. She's even called me back just following up, which was very nice, to see if there was anything else she could do while my friend was in the hospital. That was very kind of her.

Parkside Court was a wonderful place, but I don't think it's a place that fits our needs at the moment. The people were wonderful, and I really love the place, but if we were going to do this, it should have been done a year ago. We couldn't afford to do it a year ago, however, and my mom really wasn't ready then. She has declined rather quickly, though. I was very impressed with the organization. They had a lot of good things. It would have been a great match a year ago, but my mom was very insistent about staying at home. I really loved the people, and I loved everything about it; it is just I don't think it's a match for us at this point. It was a nice, clean place, and the people seemed nice. I had no issue with them, but it's just not a fit right now. They've been wonderful about keeping in contact. I really liked the rooms that they showed me.

Parkside Court was really nice. We were pleased with it, but they didn't have the size of the rooms we wanted at that time. That's what held us up right there. A lot of it was price, too, that was holding us back. The staff was very polite and very knowledgeable. Anything that we asked, we got a good answer. The apartments were really nice, but the one-bedroom wasn't enough because my husband has a lot of gear with his lymphedema. He has boots and machine and all sorts of stuff that he has to take with him, and we really needed a two-bedroom, and they didn't have any. Everything we saw was nice. We saw one-bedroom apartments on the second and first floor, and they were all nice. The facility was very clean and very nice, and anything you could possibly think of to do was there. They had places where you could put puzzles together, a place to watch television, and a place where they would play games. You could walk all the way around the place. You could do just about anything you wanted to there. They had a beauty shop, people who would come if you had special needs, just about anything you could think of that you needed, you could get. I was really impressed with it. Everybody was very polite. When you walked up to it, everything on the outside was clean and fresh. They take a lot of patience to keep it nice outside even. It was really pretty outside.

My mother-in-law lived at Parkside Court. It was great, but it wasn't a perfect fit for her because she was a little bit too independent. The staff was very good. When I ate there, it was very good. The dining room was very nice, and it was just lovely. They came and cleaned the apartments, and it was very nice. They had games, music, church services, television, and groups come in and entertain them.

I went to Parkside Court and visited the building and the complex. It was an in-person tour. I didn't see much of the community there as there wasn't anybody out and about. It was kind of standoffish. It wasn't nice and homey like I was expecting, but that's not their fault if the people don't get out. The upkeep was good. It didn't seem like they'd kept up with the decorations very well. They were kind of worn out so to speak, but that might be because I'm not ready to move yet. The rooms were small. The staff was very nice and very cooperative. I only dealt with one person, so I can't judge everybody based on that one person.

My father moved to Parkside Court and he likes it so far. They have all kinds of activities and he enjoys that. Their staff is fine and his room there is nice. The dining area there is very nice and set up in a formal concept, they also have an outdoor area. I would describe the overall atmosphere is comfortable.
