Overall Review of Parkview Nursing
common31 reviews mention this
Staff care and attentiveness stand out
Residents and families describe staff as caring, responsive, and knowledgeable.
Many reviews highlight staff who treat residents kindly and take time to understand individual needs. Multiple families say nurses and clinicians are attentive with care updates and thorough follow-through, and several mention residents staying clean and well cared for. A smaller set of reviews strongly disagrees, describing rude or cranky interactions and neglect-like experiences.
common8 reviews mention this
Cleanliness is mixed but often noted
Several reviews comment on room and facility cleanliness, while a few describe serious dirt issues.
Some residents and families report daily room cleaning, a clean facility, and cleanliness that stood out during visits. Other reviews describe dirty bathrooms and kitchen areas, along with concerns about residents sitting in wet clothes. A few remarks also note that rooms are clean but the building itself feels old.
caveat4 reviews mention this
Communication problems and call response
Several families report trouble getting through on the phone or with nurse call buttons.
Some reviews describe responsive communication, including getting updates even during nights. Others say nobody answers phones, nurses are not available, and calls are not returned. One reviewer also describes a nurse call button not being answered while a loved one needed help, framing it as a serious failure of basic response.
caveat7 reviews mention this
Food quality and portions divide reviews
Food reviews range from acceptable to very negative, with diabetes-related concerns mentioned too.
A number of reviews say the food was fine, serviceable, or even very good, and some describe the dining room experience as supportive. Others call the food terrible or bland, mention dirty kitchen conditions, or complain about limited options and portions. At least one review specifically ties meal quality to challenges with diabetes-friendly eating and starch-heavy meals.
common4 reviews mention this
Activities and social time matter
Residents and families describe social activities like bingo, choirs, and group time.
Reviews point to structured social outlets such as bingo and church services, along with activities planned for residents. One family describes staff organizing special events and activities that provide mental stimulation, while another mentions rehabilitation sessions alongside activities. Even when activities are offered, at least one reviewer says the resident personally did not participate.
common2 reviews mention this
Memory care unit experiences differ
Reviews that mention the memory care area describe both supportive care and serious concerns.
One review highlights the Lancaster Wing memory care unit and describes a medical team and unit leadership providing high-quality care. Another mentions a Parkview dementia unit where a family reports frequent hospitalizations, concerns about medications, and visible injuries during the stay. Taken together, the memory care feedback is not consistent across families.
