Overall, The Parkview was nice, organized, and well-kept. The rooms were OK. They have a lot of things to offer. We were fairly pleased. The staff member who gave me the tour was nice. Anything that I had concerns about she was able to answer. They play card games and go on field trips.

The Parkview's outside and common areas are kept very well, but the apartments are bad. Its a very old facility and we saw four different apartments in there which were horrible. We met the receptionist and director and they were very nice. There was just something lacking there, like commitment and support, with whoever owns the facility. It was just a definite no after we saw the apartments. They need to renovate and update their living quarters because they're terrible.

I moved into Parkview. Its nice, there's a nice building on the inside, and the staff is pretty nice. The atmosphere is nice. Im the youngest one here, Im trying to get used to that, but other than that, I like it. The food is decent, I liked the apartment, and they take care of them. They have a nice little park outside with statues, trees, and a concrete walking path around it. They allow pets. They need to improve on the quality of the food.

I don't like The Parkview as much as the other place we visited, but my ex-husband likes it, so we chose this community. Their apartments seem to be converted hotel rooms and were really very small. Some of them have kitchens, but they only offer two meals a day. The unit my ex-husband is in has a very tiny kitchen with a refrigerator, but no sink. There's enough room to put in a bed, a chest, and a small table. I thought there was a slight odor when I walked in, but overall, it was pretty clean; it's probably because it's an older building. The staff members that we met were very nice and polite. They have a laundry room on every other floor. I wasn't that impressed with the place, but it's a little less expensive, so it meets his needs.

The Parkview offers two meals a day and maid service once a week. The staff members so far have been great. I'm in a studio deluxe. It's three rooms with a full kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom, and a living room. It's beautiful. It's fabulous. It's right next to a huge park in the middle of the city, that's why they call it the Parkview. It's very affordable.

The Parkview was very nice. It's like a 1920s hotel. It's been converted, and there is very nice wood in the moldings. All the people we talked to, the residents we talked to there seemed very happy. The food was very good. The front desk was very nice. The lady who gave us the tour and showed us around was very helpful.

My sister currently lives in Parkview Memphis, which is fine. It was a hotel many years ago, and they turned it into a really classy senior residence. There’s a grand piano in the lobby, so they do music all the time, plus a beautiful dining room with a chef. I am not super happy about the fact that they have turned over their assisted services to another agency. The people are really nice. The rooms have a variety of different sizes and shapes. My sister formerly lived in a pretty two-bedroom, but she downsized to a one-bedroom that's still very spacious and has a high ceiling. The first time she ever went to visit, she fell in love.

The Parkview was very nice. It was wonderful. The staffing was nice. This place was awesome, and if I had to go somewhere, this is where I would like to go. It was clean. They're doing some remodeling, and in their apartments, they have nice closet space. They also invited me down to the cafeteria, which was set up nice like a restaurant. It was nice and clean. It was good.

My Mom lives here. I've visited several Senior Assisted Living Communities and by far, it's the best. The apts. are very spacious. It is living royally as grow old gracefully. The Dining room experience alone is enough to "woo you!" The meals are delicious. There are many, many activities and the staff interacts attentively with the residents! Transportation is provided for grocery shopping and local medical appointments. I rate The Parkview 10+ in every area!

I was not impressed with The Parkview Memphis. It was dirty, depressing, and old and didn't have many activities available. The staff did not seem to care whether we stay in there or not. The rooms were fine. I would suggest that they clean the place up. It’s a beautiful old hotel that we used to go there when we were young that they converted. Now, it’s just dirty.

I've been to The Parkview, and it was nice. I would rate the rooms a 7, and the dining area a 10. I looked at the menu, and it was real exquisite. What they need to do is provide some kind of transportation. There's a parking-lot, and you can have your own vehicle. For those people who don't drive, they probably needed to have a bus or a van. It's in a central location in Memphis. It was an old hotel that they changed over to a senior community. It might be out of certain people's price range, and might be a little too pricy for somebody that's on a fixed level income.

The visit at Parkview went well; it was a nice community. The rooms were a nice size for a single person. The staff was nice and you saw them interacting with the residents. The only drawback I didn’t like about it was that it had a smell on one of the floors which really stood out but everything else was fine. They said they were going to get it corrected right away.

The Parkview was an old hotel, but it's elegant, and they said they're willing to refurbish the place. The one that showed us around was very personable and very welcoming. She gave us all the information we asked for. When we arrived, there was a gentleman that was playing the piano in the sitting room and several people were listening to him. They had something available to the patrons to exercise or move around. A lot of the people had cars in that area. It's near the VA hospital who are treating my husband, and that would make it convenient for me, and they do have almost daily trips going there. It was clean, and the rooms were good-sized. Since it's an old hotel, the closets were not big walk-in closets. The bathrooms were smaller, but they said they would refurbish them for somebody that can't move.

My dad is living in The Parkview now, and we liked everything about it. The caretakers are very nice. The neighborhood and the actual facilities are all good. They have a social director. Anytime he can get five or six people to sign up for something, he will do an activity. They have all sorts of classes that are constantly changing, but there are lots of options. They also provide transportation. They do three meals a day except on Sunday, when they do brunch until 3:00. It's an excellent place.

The experience we had at The Parkview Memphis was very good. Everything was very clean and orderly. The dining room was excellent; they had good quality food there. Whatever we asked, the staff usually jumped right to it and tried to take care of it. They go up and beyond what I think they should be doing, but they had done well. I liked their services; their commitment to helping the residents there was real good.

We looked at about 10 or 15 places, and we chose The Parkview Memphis. We get three meals a day, and the staff is very friendly. We have a three-bedroom two-bath room. They have scrabble, puzzles, pool table, card games, and outings. They take you to different places. The Parkview Memphis has a friendly atmosphere, and it is very secure. The doors are locked, and you have to have an entrance the way to get into it.

The staff in The Parkview was helpful, but the place was a little old and they were expensive.

We went to Parkview and we find it pricy. They had some nice rooms. We were satisfied with them except that we weren't too sure if we want to ride the elevator.
