Overall Review of Parkwood Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation Center
caveat13 reviews mention this
Call lights and phones feel unreliable
Residents and families report frequent delays and difficulty getting staff when help is needed.
Multiple reviewers describe trouble reaching the front desk or nurse’s station, including being put on hold and routed to voicemail. Others report call buttons not working or call requests not answered in a timely way, leading to concerns about delayed checks and basic care. Even when staff seemed friendly at times, several accounts point to inconsistent follow-through and urgent responsiveness. This is especially striking given the facility’s marketed support for around-the-clock assistance.

Cleanliness and odors are recurring complaints
Reviews repeatedly mention dirty rooms and unpleasant smells.
A number of reviews call out rooms and common areas as filthy, including dust buildup, spiderwebs, and unsanitary bathrooms. Several families also describe strong odors, including urine and other smells, and one reviewer mentions roaches. A few reviews contrast this by saying the facility is well kept and clean, but the negative cleanliness reports show up often enough to be a central concern. When residents or families raise these issues, some describe limited resolution or improvements that came only after complaints.

Staff caring can be inconsistent
Some reviewers describe staff who were attentive and supportive during hard transitions.
While many reviews are highly critical, a smaller set describes staff as helpful and genuinely caring. One reviewer says the nursing home team was great with a relative who had mental health needs, including professional supervision as the person adjusted. Another praises therapy progress and says patients looked well cared for during visits. Still, other reviewers report dissatisfaction with staff responsiveness and accountability, so experiences appear mixed rather than uniformly positive.

Dining is mixed, with both praise and blame
Dining experiences range from decent meals to serious complaints about food.
Some reviewers say meals looked good or were decent and healthy, and one describes the experience as pleasant to visit. Other accounts are sharply negative, describing poor or disgusting food and comparing it to prison food. The community does offer restaurant-style dining, which aligns with the more positive meal comments. But the negative dining reviews indicate that meal quality and consistency may vary based on the resident’s experience.
