The Parkview

The Parkview has been a blessing for our entire family. When my Dad passed away last March, it became apparent that my Mom's ability to live independently had changed. We toured a number of Assisted Living facilities. From our initial tour of The Parkview, both my Mom and I felt like we found the right home. The decor in the lobby and living areas was warm and inviting, the administrative staff was great in communicating all the important financial and care elements that I found very confusing at other facilities. My Mom's experience at The Parkview has been fantastic. She gets the care and attention she needs from caregivers and MedTechs, she enjoys the meals, and there are daily activities that keep her engaged and socially active. The Parkview staff is always friendly when I visit, and share stories about what my Mom is up to when I'm not there. For me, I get a lot of comfort from knowing that when I leave from my visit, my Mom will be comfortable and cared for.

My aunt and uncle (both 90+ years young) have been living at The Parkview Assisted Living in Pleasanton for over 2 years and while acknowledging that no place is without its challenges, our overall impression of The Parkview is extremely positive. After living in their own home for over 60 years, The Parkview helped to make this huge transition for our loved ones to an 'assisted living' place as smooth as possible and brought comfort and ease to our family during a time when it was most needed. Over the years we are pleased to report that the staff at The Parkview have consistently shown a high level of professionalism, from the very friendly front desk staff, to the med-techs, the dining room staff, the office staff, the maintenance workers, the housekeepers, etc. It’s been quite reassuring to see the staff genuinely care for the residents, making the place feel more like a very clean and warm, 'cared for' community. Not to mention the beautiful park, right next door - a perfect and safe place for our loved ones to enjoy a daily walk outdoors if they so choose. The Parkview also continuously seeks ways to enhance the living experiences with many optional scheduled activities. They bring in speakers or throw tea parties and such, however, we have noticed that their favorite activities tend to center around musical performances. Some musicians are a huge hit with the residents. Additionally, the cost of The Parkview has been reasonable and competitive (compared with other assisted living facilities) which is an important consideration for many families. For us, one of the standout benefits of choosing The Parkview is the availability of Pine Park Health Services. This feature significantly simplifies healthcare for residents (if they are able to opt in) by offering routine medical checkups and lab work without the need to leave the comfort of their own room. We still take them to their specialized doctor appointments but this convenience with their routine medical care not only saves time but also minimizes the stress associated with every trip 'out of the facility', a factor we’ve greatly appreciated. Furthermore, The Parkview went above and beyond during a special family occasion. For a milestone birthday celebration, they enabled us to host a wonderful gathering with around 20 family members. The Parkview provided a spacious and nicely appointed room free of charge, accommodating our large group comfortably and allowing us to enjoy music and festivities together. This gesture showcased their exceptional commitment to fostering community and family connections, making the event especially memorable for everyone involved. In summary, our experience with The Parkview has been outstanding. We’re thankful for the peace of mind and quality of care our loved ones are receiving, making it a commendable choice for those in search of assisted living options.

The Parkview in Pleasanton is where my dad decided to live after touring many facilities in the Tri-Valley area. The location is excellent, with a park and the Senior Center right out the back door. His one-bedroom apartment is bright and spacious, with plenty of space for his personal belongings, making it a home. The dining room is cheerful and inviting, and my dad raves about the food. There is a middle patio/garden area where residents can enjoy the outdoors safely. The activities are plentiful and inclusive. The staff is nothing short of amazing! The medical staff are knowledgeable, helpful, and caring. The front desk people are warm, welcoming, and always cheerful. The decor is a little worn and dated, but that would be my only suggestion for improvement.

We’re researching assisted living options for my Dad and just met with Patrick Leung, Residential Living Advisor, at Parkview. This is all new to us and we had a ton of questions, some not even about the facility, and Patrick was so helpful and generous with his time. The room we saw and common areas were very nice and all of the staff was friendly and seemed to know residents by name. If you’re in the area and looking for an assisted living facility, I would definitely recommend you visit Parkview and meet with Patrick.
