Parkview Estates is a wonderful facility. The staff are exceptionally friendly and caring and the entire building is clean and well maintained. If I ever need to move into a senior living facility, I'll be right here! read more

My Father had to go into Parkview Estates in March. He was just coming out of a Rehab center and we brought him to Parkview for a respite stay. We were able to get a good look at how Parkview operates. On the positive side, the senior staff are very nice and friendly before and when you arrive. The facilities look nice and the rooms are reasonably well-maintained. The food was very good during my dad's stay and they had physical therapy on site. The floor staff that help the residents are generally competent and caring. On the negative side, the level of cooperation of the senior staff went down considerably after our check cleared their books. You have to watch medications closely because they hire Pharmacy techs to help with the medications that are not well trained. The Pharmacy techs are inconsistent. Before you move in the Community Relations Director and Nursing Supervisor will tell you that Parkview is in the "Sweet Spot" between the two local hospitals so if there's an event where the resident needs to go to the Hospital we can have them brought to either Trios or Kadlec. This was untrue. All the rooms have emergency pull cords in the event the resident needs help. Before you move in the Community Relations Director and Nursing Supervisor will tell you that Parkview responds to the residents within about 5 minutes. The real average respond time was about 15 to 20 minutes. They fake their response time numbers. The staff go down an entire hall, go into the rooms were the residents are needing assistance, turn off the call light then tell the resident that they will be right back because they have another person that really needs help. My Father told them at one point that he just needed help getting to the toilet. The staff told him to poop in his pants if he had to and they would clean it up when they could get back to him. My Father's stay ended when he had a choking incident. He pulled the emergency cord to get assistance. It took over 30 minutes before someone got to his room. By that time my Father wasn't breathing and had to be resuscitated. He ended up going to the Hospital and died about 10 days later. He did recover enough to talk to us about what happened at Parkview. He said don't blame the floor staff it's not their fault. It's the management and nursing supervisor. He said if he did get better, he did not want to go to Parkview because of the poor management and care. I feel horrible that I brought my Father to Parkview. Please take this review to heart before you bring someone to this facility. read more

Mixed feelings about this one. My mother in law has been there a little over two years. She is over 90 and constantly complains about the food. I think this may be normal for a 90 year old. When we dine as guests the soups and salads are terrific, but is it just show time for guests? The LDS chapel is close, and they have Sunday services specifically for LDS in Parkview itself (guests can come), which was a selling point for us. Not cheap by any means, but doesn't have that "smell" other places have. Looks modern and roomy (comparatively). There is a combination of patients that appear a little out of it, which can be off-putting, but there are quilting clubs and other activities and regular runs to WalMart and/or Fred Meyer. read more

I'm a professional person and have worked in leadership and management positions for most of my adult life. I went to work for the company that runs this facility, Regency Pacific, working for them solely on account of being bored with my retirement. Never in my life have I see a facility run so poorly. In just over a year the Executive Director for the facility has been fired and replaced 3 times for a total of 4(Including the current Director). The Kitchen Manager for there Dining Services has been fired twice and replaced. Almost the entire corporate leadership has been replaced by Regency Pacific with people who obviously don't understand the care that is necessary for the older generations of our country, state and general locale. I have seen a significant lack of respect for the elderly people in there care by the "Leadership" staff. As well as an even larger lack of respect for the people under there leadership. The current kitchen manager of this facility has shown a level of disrespect for his staff to the point almost the ENTIRE staff has walked out or is in the process of finding other work and putting in there notice. The lack of respect and care for this facility I would not recommend it to anyone who is considering putting there family member in this facility. I certainly won't consider it for any of mine. read more
