My visiting experience at Parkside Suites was wonderful. The rooms were great, and the staff was wonderful. They had all kinds of very nice activities. The place was very good, and their price was very reasonable.

We will be moving into Parkside At North East. I like the fact that they have progressive care. We can go into independent, then into assisted if we needed, and then into final care. They even lined us up with a funeral home. They have a doctor on-site and two nurses. If we were in need, even in our independent status, they would come to our place and help us. They have many activities and bus trips. They have a dining hall where they offer meals every day. The rooms were very nice. They did a good job also of the layout and the flow. They have a nice kitchen, so if we preferred to cook our own meals, we could. We ended up with a two-bedroom, kitchen, dining room, and living room.

My mom is very happy at Parkside North East. We are very pleased. She is in independent living at this time, but the support for memory issues is important to me. It will support my mom's needs moving forward.
She's not crazy about the food.
They have a lot of activities like chair yoga, chair exercises, and travel activities. They have Catholic masses and for different denominations. They also have something going on once a week. She just went to a meeting with all of the residents, including the staff. They do socials, like a wine social on Mondays and 'sweets' day where the staff comes around and gives sweets. They are not eating at the dining room yet because of the COVID restrictions, so they deliver it to them. My mom gets two meals a day delivered to her. She has a little shelf outside her door. They knock on the door and let her know that her meal is there. It is actually why she's not happy about the food because she can't eat with anyone else. They can hang out with each other in their rooms though, but anytime they're outside they have to wear a mask. They have a flower group and a book club. They had a social a little while ago that was right down the hall from her room that she enjoyed. It was people just getting together and getting to know each other. It's good, and they keep them pretty active. I think the activity director's name is Angela, and she's doing a pretty good job.

We visited Parkside North East. It was very nice, but for the price and the distance, that's 50 miles roundtrip; it's probably over that because my brother and I live in the city and she lives in Jamestown, so for me to get there, it would probably take me 70 miles roundtrip, and that was just too much.
My visit was very good. The gentleman took me around, it seemed very good, but I think what happened was if I had been more serious about taking my mom there, I probably would have asked for an even more detailed tour. The room was a large, spacious studio. The one-bedroom apartments were very large, they had a living room, and a bedroom. The guy who took me on the tour was excellent. I thought the price was a little too high. They had a TV room, that's all I can remember.
Memory Care Reviews for Parkside North East

We have toured Parkside at North East and it was excellent. I liked just the cleanliness, the atmosphere, the kindness of the staff, and the happiness of the residents. It's the independent living part that we toured and the rooms were clean, excellent, and accessible.
We didn't try the food but we saw the dining room, everybody seemed to be eating when we were there, and nobody seemed to be complaining. The residents all seemed cheerful even though we did not talk to anybody.
They seem to be offering quite a few activities like movies and tours. They were offering a lot of things where you could go out of the building like if you wanted to go to Wal-Mart or Walgreens or the drugstore. If you wanted to go to the beach and other places, you could sign up and do those things too.
I saw the staff working so that was impressive. I saw that the server in the lunchroom was friendly and respectful to the patients and that was nice. She didn't just put the food down, she was nice about it. They were also neat and clean. The floors were also cleaned, swept, and dusted.
Everybody's apartment, in the independent living part, had little things on them. They were allowed to put little things outside their doors to make them look personalized. We also saw their assisted living. However, my mother is probably going to need more memory care now so that changes everything for us.
