Parkside Manor

I have had an overall positive experience with Parkside Manor. The staff are kind, patient, and truly care about the residents. One of the best parts is the strong focus on activities and keeping residents engaged. There are consistent opportunities for socializing and staying active, which really supports quality of life. I would recommend Parkside Manor to families looking for a caring and engaging environment for their loved ones.

Moving loved ones into assisted living is never an easy decision, but Parkside Manor made the entire experience feel supported, smooth, and genuinely cared for from start to finish. My grandmother has been there for about a month now, and when my grandfather suddenly needed to move in, we had to make it happen within 48 hours. What was incredibly stressful was met with nothing but flexibility, compassion, and urgency from the team. They were so accommodating and made a very overwhelming situation feel manageable. I’m especially grateful that I took the recommendation to look at the new team in place. I grew up in the area, and while the facility didn’t always have the best reputation, the team there now has completely changed my opinion. You can truly feel that they care and their doors are always open. I especially want to recognize Jim, Liz, Becke, and Kim (the new Wellness Director). Each of them has been incredibly welcoming, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything is handled with care. Anytime I have questions, need something addressed, or have to coordinate care, they respond quickly and work with us to figure everything out without hesitation. I also have to call out Lisa and Bianca at the front desk. They are always so friendly and welcoming. I often ship items to my grandparents, and they consistently make sure packages are set aside safely and, even better, will occasionally deliver them directly to their room. It’s such a small detail, but it makes a huge difference and shows how thoughtful they are. It brings so much peace of mind knowing they are both in a place where the staff is attentive, communicative, and kind. That level of care means everything to myself and our family. I’m so grateful we found Parkside Manor and would highly recommend them as an option to anyone navigating this kind of transition.

Let’s be clear—before people start criticizing the kitchen, they should actually know what they’re talking about. The kitchen staff consistently put in real effort to provide residents with nutritious meals while also accommodating their preferences. They always go above and beyond to ensure the residents have freshly made meals and garnished with tender, love and care. That’s a fact. What’s being posted here by Dee Wright and C. Martin is not—it's a mix of assumptions, exaggerations, and a clear lack of basic understanding. C. Martin, instead of immediately attacking the kitchen, did you bother to read the menu or ask a simple question? Or did you just decide to complain first and think later? Residents are given choices, and many of them ask for things like soup or sandwiches. That doesn’t mean that’s all that’s offered—it means that’s what they chose. Jumping straight to accusations without checking anything just makes you look careless and uninformed. By the way, if you didn't know, which clearly you don’t, Parkside Manor is one of the best facilities BECAUSE of the food and the chef's dedication. You think it's that bad? Take your grandmother somewhere else. I guarantee the care and food service will NOT be as excellent. Dee Wright, repeating the same points about pudding, soup, crackers, and sandwiches doesn’t strengthen your argument—it just highlights that you don’t understand how meals are prepared for residents. Vegetables are steamed on purpose so they’re easier and safer to eat. Alternatives are offered regularly. Again, if someone chooses something simple, it’s because they want it—not because they have no other option. What’s really frustrating is the confidence behind these complaints when they’re clearly not based on facts. Publicly criticizing staff who are doing their jobs well—without even taking the time to verify anything—is reckless and unfair. If you have a real issue, address it directly instead of hiding behind reviews and spreading misinformation. And if you genuinely believe the care is that bad, then do something about it instead of making exaggerated claims online. To the staff at Parkside Manor: your work speaks for itself, even if some people choose to ignore it. Keep doing what you’re doing.

This community went above and beyond for our family. They rallied to complete everything in less than 24 hours, including gathering documents, completing a weekend assessment, and even coordinating a weekend move-in. Throughout the entire process, they made us feel genuinely cared for, supported, and important. Their compassion, responsiveness, and dedication were truly exceptional. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a senior living community for a loved one.
