My mother in-law lived here for over 6 years until she passed away last month. This is an excellent place to live. The directors and staff are friendly and really care about the residents. There are activities scheduled throughout the day that everyone can participate in to stay active or just to socialize. The menu prepared by their chefs is well balanced and nutritious. The variety and quality of the meals is first class. They have a bus for residents who don't have their own transportation to go to appointments or shopping. When they talk about being part of the Parker Place family, that's just what it means. My mother in-law loved it there. She had so many friends there.

I have lived at Parker Place for seven months. I really like it here. The staff and residents are great people. The staff really cares about the residents. The food is wonderful. The building is always kept clean. There is always something to do as far as activities go. I have lived at other retirement communities, but nothing compares to Parker Place.
