Overall Review of Parkway Health Care Center

common 17 reviews mention this

Staff support is a big theme

Residents and families repeatedly describe staff as engaged and responsive.

Many reviews say the staff treat residents respectfully, stay friendly, and do their best to care for people. Others point out problems like being treated poorly or employees being intrusive, which shows the experience is not consistent across families. Several reviews also mention specific helpers by role, including nurses and the director of nursing, and one reviewer says clinical staff are always available to help.

common 5 reviews mention this

Activities help residents feel at home

The community’s activities are commonly mentioned as part of daily life.

A number of residents describe enjoying scheduled activities, including game days and carnival-style games. Others describe a home-like environment and say they like the combination of activities and care. One critical review also references an activities director as the only decent person the reviewer met, suggesting activity leadership is a noticeable part of the experience.

common 10 reviews mention this

Nursing care is praised and questioned

Reviews highlight nurses and clinical staff as a central part of care.

Positive reviews mention nurses and clinical staff taking extra care, being available when needed, and providing excellent care. Several critical reviews, however, describe serious breakdowns in day-to-day support, including weight loss, falls, and residents not being properly cared for. A reviewer also says medication handling and background screening should be addressed, while another praises the director of nursing and specific staff members even if overall training is criticized.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Care for memory impairment concerns

Some reviews say memory care needs more training and professionalism.

One family review describes a concern with how staff approach residents with memory impairment, saying they lack training and that patience and compassion aren’t always there. The same reviewer praises the director of nursing and some staff members, but still concludes the hands-on care for memory-impaired residents is not consistently professional.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and items go wrong

Some reviews criticize cleanliness and proper handling of residents’ belongings.

A couple of reviews describe the community as clean, but multiple critical reviews describe dirty or mismatched clothing and missing items. Several reviewers also describe the belongings a resident brought being taken or disappearing, with reports ranging from missing clothes to missing personal items like photos and snacks. Taken together, cleanliness and careful item handling are recurring points where some families felt outcomes did not match expectations.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Belongings are reported as missing

Multiple reviews report residents’ belongings going missing.

One review says nearly everything a resident owned was taken, including items brought in brand new, and it pairs that concern with claims of poor communication. Another review describes clothes missing and everything bought for the resident disappearing. A third critical review reinforces that pattern by describing stolen snacks and other missing possessions.
