    Review

    Parkway Gardens Retirement Home has received multiple positive reviews from family members who had their loved ones residing there. One person shared that their mother was treated with the utmost respect and received excellent care from the faculty until she passed away. The facility was clean and did not have any unpleasant odors. Additionally, the resident enjoyed a room with a private restroom.

    Another reviewer mentioned that their mother moved into Parkway Gardens two months ago and found the accommodations to be very nice. Although she shared a bathroom, her private room met her needs well. However, they noted that the food at the facility was not excellent, and there were no organized activities for residents. To compensate for this, they provided additional entertainment options such as a TV cable, radio, and books for their loved one. They did appreciate the kind staff who assisted their mother with showers and accompanied her to the dining room.

    The beautiful grounds of Parkway Gardens stood out to another family member who commended the caring and sweet nature of the staff. They were impressed by the social opportunities available to residents, which allowed their mother to connect with others in the community. Furthermore, they mentioned that their mother thoroughly enjoyed the food provided at Parkway Gardens.

    In terms of personalized care, one reviewer expressed satisfaction with how Parkway Gardens handled their mother's needs. The staff ensured that she had all necessary assistance and provided amenities such as a TV in her room. A specific staff member named Marco was highlighted for being particularly kind and helpful.

    While generally positive experiences were shared, there were limitations mentioned by some reviewers. One individual mentioned that when their parent exhibited behavioral issues, Parkway Gardens promptly contacted them and arranged admission to Grossmont hospital's behavioral center for treatment. This incident demonstrated proactive care from Parkway Gardens' management team ensuring appropriate care was given to residents when needed.

    In conclusion, reviews highlight various aspects of life at Parkway Gardens Retirement Home with overall positive experiences being emphasized. Residents appreciated respectful treatment from the faculty, clean and comfortable accommodations, and the availability of personalized care services. While some reviewers mentioned limitations such as less-than-stellar food or a lack of organized activities, staff members were consistently praised for their kindness and assistance. Parkway Gardens also demonstrated their commitment to the well-being of residents by promptly addressing behavioral issues by coordinating with professionals at a nearby hospital.
