The Parkway Senior Living

Very nice Memory care facility infrastructure, wide halls, clean, well organized, nice outdoor area, rooms are smaller private studio with closet, utilities, cable & internet provided, private bathroom have shower with seat & multiple grab bars for safety of residents, all residents I saw at dinner table area looked like they had good hygiene, all services are not inclusive with monthly fee, I was disappointed this community has charted Bathing & Dressing services are not included in basic monthly fee? No medicare spin down

Parkway senior living has good points: food, and they keep the place pretty clean but lately the bad outweighs the good. They do not have enough staffing, especially at night and weekends. They do not provide their staff with the proper resources to do laundry i.e. stain remover, bounce sheets to get static out of clothes. They also distribute medicine at their convenience rather than when is is actually prescribed by the doctor. For example, protonics is supposed to be given 30 minutes to an hour before eating--they give it with all the other pills during eating as that is easier for the staff. The biggest problem however is not enough staff to care for patients--especially memory care patients at nights and on weekends. This week there were several times that only one person took care of 27 people at night. Often, they only have 2 staff.

we have started the process for them to evaluate mom tomorrow for possible admission there. It has smaller rooms, but otherwise very comparable with our other choice.
