Would highly recommend

Except for food quality. The transportation daily is a huge win!! Well, my brother really benefited from the daily transportation that was a huge bonus I also believe that he felt that the administration was kind friendly the staff And he was able to build some friendships there. The size of the unit was just fine for him now because he had a Power chair he was able to be in the unit furthest away from the dining room if he had to walk that would've been a challenge

Review for Parkwood Estates

Parkwood Estates is a wonderful place to live. It is considered "independent living," but Brightstar Care works with Parkwood to provide care. The idea is to have care as an "à la carte" system within independent living. Brightstar is a 5 in delivering care—fast, capable, and very attentive. Overall, it is a very positive experience. The basic cost of $[removed] for a studio apartment covers meals, entertainment, and a bus that will go to any local destination; all one has to do is sign up for the day needed. The apartments are beautiful, updated, and roomy. Available in studio to 2-bedroom apartments. Every unit has access to a porch or a small outdoor deck. They have a goal they call "aging in place," which is a great vision. However, it probably means adding the cost of CNAs or a nurse's care, which add up fast, if needed. (Which is provided through Brightstar Care.) I'd say Parkwood Estates is equal to assisted living for an active, engaged person. The best part would be to live at Parkwood without needing any skilled assistance while saving for the time when one needs more care at the facility.

Parkwood Estates

I was thrilled by the campus and the location of our apartment. (Built in 85, there was plenty of land for a spread out building and many trees, etc,)We have two outside walls and no one above us. The dining room looks out into the trees and is bright and cheerful (we spend a lot of time there!). As homes become empty, each is refurbished with new plumbing and lighting fixtures, cabinets, etc. One couple had lived in our rooms since the renewing, so it all feels new. I can get caregivers for my husband, who has dementia. I use them when I need to or want to go out.

Review for Parkwood Estates

I think the information about the history of management changes would be. She has been there for two years and has had 4 different ones. Price and location stuck out over other places.

Not at all like I expected!

I would not recommend this place. I wish I had never moved here. The staff is only here for payday. They're not here because they like older people. Her shuttle has not worked in two weeks and a lot of the people depend on that shuttle to take them to their doctors appointments -this is unacceptable. My toilet has not worked in a week and a half and that's not acceptable. Either the food is cold. The coffee is so cold. The service sucks! Management needs to be replaced by someone who cares about older people. This could be a wonderful place to live. what we need are some management people who like older people and care about them. I've only been here a little less than two months and I wish I had never ever moved here. Very discouraging! I wish I could afford to move.

Warm and Welcoming!

I just had a great tour of Parkwood Estates! What stood out the most was the warm and welcoming staff. They made a point to make us feel like part of the community, and to really feel like we were special. It was very clear that they know all the residents, but they also genuinely care and value the residents. Very impressed!

Very Impressed!

I had the pleasure of touring Parkwood Estates and was blown away by everything this community has to offer. I always expect to feel very down and depressed when I visit these communities, and I was very hesitant to visit with my mom, because she is such an upbeat and social person. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of energy, with residents clearly enjoying themselves! I highly recommend for anyone exploring independent living options.

A perfect place to retire!

My recent tour of Parkwood Estates was really impressive. The community has a true sense of comfort, independence and belonging. The living spaces feel like home, while the range of activities and amenities offers something for everyone. The staff was warm and attentive, and were very dedicated to the residents we met. It seems like a place where residents can thrive.

Great place!

Parkwood Estates is great! I toured here recently with my father, and it seems like the perfect fit for him. The community is very accessible and easy to get around. The common areas are perfect for socializing and activities - and Parkwood has so many to choose from every day/week, that my dad will have no problem making friends and staying active.

Amazing Location!

I recently had the opportunity to tour Parkwood Estates, and I was thoroughly impressed. Most others I have visited have been very depressing, however, Parkwood has a very positive and cheerful atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, I could feel the warm and welcoming atmosphere from the team. The community is beautifully designed, and perfect for socialization! The staff was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable - it was clear they really care about the residents.

I have family at Parkwood

My aunt lives at Parkwood and loves it, she moved in a little over a year ago and has enjoyed making friends there. She goes to balloon volleyball and exercise every day. The building is bright and clean and the food is always tasty when I eat meals with her!

Recently Toured Parkwood Estates

I toured Parkwood Estates a few months ago, it was very clean. The rooms were good sized and there was a good variety of rooms. They don't offer memory care so it wouldn't be a good fit for my mom but otherwise I had no complaints about the community.

Parkwood Estates

The staff at Parkwood is always friendly and smiling. They recently redid the interior and exterior of the building and it looks like new! The residents appeared to be happy and the lady showing us around seemed to know everyone’s name.

Lack of service personnel

My biggest hang up with Parkwood Estates is dining services. First, there are not enough servers to take meal orders in order for meals to flow smoothly. I don’t know the pay scale for servers and I don’t want to know. But I feel that if corporate loosened the purse strings and gave staff [not management] a decent increase in pay, it would attract more people. Secondly, some meals are difficult to eat or can’t be eaten because the meat is so tough. Some meals are dry because no gravy is supplied with the meat. Another hang up I have is with my rent. It increases 7% per year. It’s in my contract! This means that in a few years, assuming I’m still among the living, I will have to move because I won’t be able to afford Parkwood. In talking with some of the current residents, I feel that we were better served when [removed] was in control. With Sunrise having taken over on [date removed], services seem to be heading towards the trash can.

Very happy at Parkwood Estates

I have been living at Parkwood Estates a little over a year. It is a very nice place to be. It is surrounded by huge trees and you can walk all away around the bldg as if you are in a park! The Managers are all very nice and helpful. The people that work in here in the dining area and housecleaning are also friendly and helpful and good at their jobs. They have many activities and things to do. They have a great physical therapy and occupational therapy company which works on getting you feeling better, relieving pain and improving physical and mental situations. I do recommend Parkwood Estates as good place to be!

Just what we were looking for.

This community offered the right mix of independence and support. Having access to regular, healthy meals, cleaning services and onsite laundry have been game changers for him.

Relaxing place

We chose Parkwood Estates initially because of the cost compared to other places we looked into. They have recently been bought out, the new company is trying to improve on the food. I would recommend Parkwood to others.
