Overall Review of Parkway Hills Nursing & Rehabilitation
differentiator8 reviews mention this
Skilled rehab care for recovery
Residents consistently describe hands-on rehab support during recovery and skilled nursing stays.
Many residents point to rehab and skilled nursing as the reason they recommend Parkway Hills, including physical and occupational therapy as part of getting back on their feet. Several reviews mention nurses being present for needs during short stays, such as IV-related care, and say the administration helped coordinate the next steps. A review also calls out on-site rehab programming, and another describes needing the level of support right after leaving the hospital.

Staff are often described as caring
Staff kindness and attentiveness are a frequent theme across reviews.
A large share of reviews praise the staff as compassionate, professional, and responsive to families during day-to-day interactions. Multiple residents and family members describe nurses and CNAs as helpful with care and communication, including calling without attitude and providing direct attention to daily needs. Some reviews also credit specific staff members, and others say the nursing team was friendly and met needs overall.

Dining and food quality come up
Food quality is generally described as decent during stays.
Several reviews mention food in a positive or neutral way, including food being decent most of the time and kitchen staff being accommodating. One resident also notes slower service for food, but still reports medications were delivered on time. Another review gives a food-related caveat focused on storage issues rather than day-to-day taste or meals.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Phone access and call response
Residents and families describe frustrating limits with phone access and call response.
One review says no one answers the phone when called, and another describes a frustrating phone setup that made it hard to reach a loved one at the bedside. Even though staff tried to help connect calls when possible, the reviews still reflect inconsistent ability to make contact when it mattered.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Care and room logistics can slip
Some reviews describe problems with room setup and getting needed help.
One current resident reports being placed in a room without bathroom access despite needing wheelchair-friendly access for daily life. Another review describes times when no nurses were around after arrival and the family had to assist with transfers and care tasks themselves.
