    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Reviews for Parkside senior living facility present a mixed picture, with some expressing dissatisfaction while others praise the care and services provided.

    Several reviewers have criticized the facility for issues such as poor communication, lack of cleanliness, and inadequate attention to residents' needs. One review mentioned a significant decline in a resident's condition due to what they perceived as neglect, highlighting overworked nursing staff and poor food quality. Another review expressed frustration over the inability to visit or communicate effectively with a loved one during the COVID-19 lockdown, describing the experience as lacking in empathy and transparency.

    Conversely, many reviews offer glowing commendations of Parkside, emphasizing the staff's dedication, professionalism, and kindness. Positive experiences detailed include efficient and caring admissions processes, effective rehabilitation services, and attentive, personalized care. The facility's cleanliness, good food, and the overall loving atmosphere were highlighted as reasons for recommending Parkside. Specific praise was given to the rehab department and therapy staff for their role in residents' recoveries.

    One particularly heartfelt review shared a story of a resident's multiple hospitalizations and rehabs, crediting Parkside with providing exceptional care and support during difficult times, including during a battle with a major infection. The reviewer emphasized the comfort and peace of mind they felt due to the staff's efforts.

    However, another review shared a distressing experience regarding the treatment of a family during a resident's final days, criticizing the facility's handling of visitation rules amidst the pandemic and describing the situation as lacking compassion and respect.

    In summary, while many reviews praise Parkside for its caring staff and effective rehabilitation services, there are significant concerns regarding communication, cleanliness, and the handling of visitation during the pandemic. Prospective residents and their families may want to consider these varied experiences when making decisions about care.
