The appearance of Parkside was not very good, very outdated. But, the people were really nice, and they seem to care about the patients and residents and family . I'd much rather have that for my loved one than places that look nice but are not...

Admin Michael and social worker Tracy neglect their residents and something needs to be done.

Dirty, dank and smelly facility. Rude and vindictive staff. Careless leadership. I am genuinely confused how this place has remained open

I was attending a funeral to support my friend though the loss of her father. At the funeral we were unable to find my friends aunt, the sister to her father, and it turns out that the admin Michael and the social worker Tracy prevented her from leaving the establishment to grieve and say one last farwell to her brother. Not to mention that all her belongings she was taking with her to move into this establishment were discarded without her say in the matter. These acts negligence and psychological abuse need to be addressed. Please reconsider moving a relative to this establishment with a staff that will take your money and treat your loved ones in this terrible manner.
