Beautiful facility that I would highly recommend based on my families experience with this Assisted Living facility.

The assisted living - high level of pleasurable experience, but the skilled nursing was not very high. The cleanliness with assisted living we were very satisfied with, but for skilled nursing it was more like mid level satisfaction. Assisted living staff were very friendly, but the staff for skilled nursing would get maybe 1/2. The quality of care for assisted living was high, and the nursing staff and business office staff was high. The meals for assisted living and skilled nursing were high and the activities we

Highly recommend

My dad passed away [date removed]. The staff at Oaks on Parkwood were all very compassionate and respectful. I had many friends who had loved ones here previously, that was the main reason we chose this facility initially. I highly recommend Oaks on Parkwood to others looking for care for their loved ones.

My dad is currently a resident at Oaks on Parkwood and the experience at this facility has been very good for him so far. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Communication with the family is great. They keep us well informed on dad's condition and contact us immediately if there is an issue. I would recommend Oaks on Parkwood for both Memory Care and Skilled Nursing.

No place like home

My dad is currently a resident at Oaks on Parkwood and overall it's been a very good experience for him at this facility so far. The staff has been responsive and helpful. The food must be pretty good since my dad appears to have gained a little bit of weight. I've known several friends who have had relatives at Oaks on Parkwood and I don't hesitate to recommend them to others.

Review for Oaks on Parkwood

They take periodic bus rides, snack trips, musicians in facility, and games. We picked this community, because it's a beautiful campus, clean facility, and was within proximity. Would have liked to have had weekly church services with mostly singing. The residents do have memory issues, and most not able to follow a message but music is a universal way to bring joy to their hearts and faces.
