Park Place Assisted Living Reno, NV

Park Place was much smaller with a community room, and every building had a dining room. There were so many wheelchairs for a group of six people living in a house.

We had a very nice visit at Park Place. Everyone was very helpful. It was a nice community that did not seem to fit what my mother needed. They showed us everything, like their barbecue area, their outdoor area, and their community center. I did not like that the food was not cooked there. It was cooked in another house and brought to each of the houses in a big warmer. I didn't like that the tables were covered with plastic. It helps keep everything clean, but it looked a little tacky. The rooms were smaller than the other places we looked at, and it would've really been much harder for her to get around. The staff was excellent.

My siblings and I are so glad that we found Park Place for our mother, who needed a higher level of care after breaking her hip. The staff takes such good care of her, and she feels at home and well taken care of. Her room is beautiful and filled with light. She also said she really likes the food. They also do an amazing job of coordinating care for doctors appointments and medications and such. We are all very grateful that we can rest assured that she is in such good hands.

My cousin was in Park Place, and it was a really good experience. She had a studio, and it was good. The staff was very good. They had arts, they had transportation to functions in town, and they also had a stylist that would come in. The food was really good from what I heard, and it was most reasonably priced.

Park Place is a beautiful community. It is some place that I would very much like to move one of my clients into. There are individual units. There’s both assisted and independent living. It’s really very nice. I was very impressed. The rooms are not huge, but they’re very nice. There are lots of activities for the residents. I was very impressed overall by that. There’s quite a few activities and things of that nature. It was all very impressive.

My least favorite was Park Place. It was more designed to be like a home environment, so there are different homes on the property. You might have anywhere from 5 to 7 people living in the home. They have their own room, and then they share a common area and a common eating area. Some people get overwhelmed with bigger situations. My mom’s personality is that it is too close to quarters with people she may or may not like, and she doesn’t want to live with 5 other people. It is just not her personality. The eating area looked worn down like the table was covered with thick plastic stuff. It doesn’t have a very good look to it. What I did like about Park Place was they know their stuff. I sat there and talked to them for probably an hour and we discussed everything that my mom has been going through. They just seemed to have a really good handle on how to work with elderly people especially if the elderly person is difficult or they’re experiencing major depression or they’re hard to get along with – They really seemed to know their stuff. As far as the physical look and everything, it wasn’t that grand, but I think they could still take care of people pretty well.

I cannot give Park Place Assisted Living a very good recommendation. It was extremely dark, the rooms were so small, and we were not impressed at all. We all met one of the staff members, and she was very nice, but the entire setup did not lend itself well to group activities, and it had narrow, dark hallways.

I like Park Place Assisted Living, but I don't like the idea that if they want to go to recreation, they have to go outside. I don't think that's particularly smart for old people. But one of the things I do like is they are willing to take people short-term -- like for a week at a time.
