Park View Villas Port Angeles, WA

We're moving into Park View Villas. It was very friendly. It's a large community. It has over a hundred rooms. It has independent as well as assisted living. They were extremely helpful. We toured the facility for over three hours. We had lunch there also. They had a regular menu that they were choosing from that day. We're very impressed with the food and the care. We went to other places also and we compared. Although this one was a little bit further away from our home, it had excellent reviews from not only my caregivers, but from movers. We checked with a lot of people. We were very happy that we were able to get a one-bedroom ground floor. My husband's not able to walk very far and I'm in a wheelchair, so we got a room very close to the dining room; we wouldn't have to walk extreme distances. Just everything worked out really well, and we're really looking forward to it. We ate in a private dining room because we were coming in from the outside, but the dining area seemed very nice. They had just opened up their dining with the COVID restrictions, but we weren't able to eat in that facility. There were separate tables, perhaps four to a table. They were spaced apart still because of COVID regulations. It was very open and spacious. There were two choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The dining area seemed very bright, and it had a lot of windows. You could pick up snacks at any time, but it required that you ate in there. There was no food brought back to your room. Between 2:00 and 4:00, there's a cart with a woman walking by with something fresh baked for the day as well as juices. We were pleased with what we saw. We toured a one-bedroom suite. They showed us a model room which obviously had furniture that fit that room. We have a king size bed, and it fit our bed (which was very important to us). It appeared larger than what they described. It had a terrace. All rooms have a terrace off of them and being on the first floor, the outdoor area was larger. We chose a room that had beautiful trees all around it, a rhododendron bush, as well as a Japanese maple and two huge pine trees. So when you went out there, you weren't facing other condos or other apartments. It was a beautiful scene. It had a full kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, a stove, and an oven. It did not come with a microwave. It had more cabinet space than I really thought for a kitchen of that size. It's a kitchen separate from the living room. It's not in the living room. They were very accommodating. Normally when there's a turnover of people coming in, they remove the carpet, change the carpet out, and repaint (as well as for the deck). They pressurize the deck. If anything needs to be painted, they do that. They were very accommodating to us because I'm going to be in a wheelchair for at least another two or three months until my second surgery. It's very hard for me to get on carpeting with a wheelchair. They were very accommodating, and they put down laminate wood floors. Wwe paid for half of it, and they paid for the other half. I was very happy that they could do that for us, so that I can roll around more easily. The kitchen and the bathroom already had vinyl in them, but everything else was carpeted. I was very happy that they could do that for us. They provide weekly housekeeping. If you want personal laundry, that would be extra. They have a laundry room on the second floor, and there are no coins required. It's a very large laundry room. You schedule a time for that, and people write their name on the board. They provide the meals and the housekeeping. There were things that were provided with the original cost. We had a nurse review our medical records with us and see if we needed any additional things. I was very happy with the room. They had a lot of windows, so it appeared very bright. He sent us a floorplan. They did all the measurements for us, so we could ahead of time figure out where we could space our furniture. They have a beauty salon. They have a lot of rooms. As you walk in, there's a large lounge with a TV. There's a library on three floors. They have different classes that are presented. They even asked us to do a book study or a religious service. They also bring in other faiths. They had another room where people were putting together puzzles. They have many gathering rooms as you walk in. There were four very large rooms off the main entrance that can be used, and they have the private dining room. Right now, if you were to bring guests in from the outside, with the COVID regulations, you can just say I want my friends to eat. For an extra $8 or $9 dollars, they could eat whatever we're eating in this private room. It is an older building, but it appeared to be very well kept, very clean, and very updated. The food was excellent.

We liked the location of Park View Villas. It was close to us. They also had clean facilities, lots of activities, and the management was definitely very kind and helpful to us. The staff member I talked to was very informative, very educated, and very open. They're all about open communication. The layout isn't too complicated once you figure it out, but it just depends on the individual. They're definitely super clean and nice. There's lots of grassy areas with benches outside, and plenty of room for people to walk around.

Park View Villas seemed like a very nice place. It's very spacious, very open, and clean. They've got great programs and the staff was very nice. The person who toured me was great. He's very personable and very informative. The only thing that bothered me was the layout of the bathroom. There's no grab bar to the toilet. So, there's no way somebody can pull themselves up. I asked about the possibility of one of those pull bars that go from ceiling to floor, but they said that they can't install that. Overall, my rating is still fairly well, since everything else seemed to be fine.

My mom is at Park View Villas. They are very helpful. The apartments are very nice, she's very happy with it. The grounds and the facilities are very nice and the people are extremely helpful. There's different community rooms, library facilities, the yard, and a very nice outdoor space. Because of COVID, the activities are limited, but they do like a happy hour. I think they are doing movies also. It's in the neighborhood, it's not in the middle of the city. It's pretty quiet, there's trees, and there's a park across the street. They've been very helpful and very kind. I was surprised at the price. I felt it was expensive, but that seems to be everywhere. I guess it's a fair price.

I toured Park View Villas. It was a really nice place. It was fabulous. The people were really nice. They had nice apartments. The ground was spectacular. It was some place you would like to be. They had everything there, e.g., the facility itself and the activities. Of course now with the COVID-19 thing, it's kinda hard. The lady, who is the director there, was fantastic. She was really personable. She really knows her staff and she makes you feel wanted as a person if you're going to stay there and stuff like that. There were no qualms. It was a really, really nice arrangement. My wife and I both went, but unfortunately, at the present time, my mom does not want to do this. You can get out and walk around the grounds. They have a huge pond there with goldfish. The grounds were all manicured really, really nice. I just wish I could get my mom up there because it would make it a lot easier for me. I only spoke with the director and she was fantastic. The people who were walking around the area seemed to like her also. It was a really good thing. We couldn't go inside, so this was done outside. She showed us the apartment that was available if my mom had decided to come. Everything was clean, really nice, and well manicured. They have a really good staff.

My sister has moved into Park View Villas. Our initial visit was very good. She has only been there about a week. The staff are very good. My sister is in quarantine at the moment, so she hasn't seen too much of the facility. They have activities, but she hasn't been able to experience that. Their rooms are nice. They have a van that will provide you with doctor's appointments or outings to a store if you're capable of doing that.
