We are so happy that we were lucky enough to get our sister into Parkside Senior Living! We expected it to be a bumpy transition but Zack and the whole staff made it easy for all of us. The place has a real “family” feel to it and everyone is so nice and happy and welcoming. Oh, and the food is delicious! They have a lot of activities to offer too which you can often see on their Facebook page. I like being able to see what’s going on since I don’t live nearby and it gives me something I can ask my sister about when I call. All in all, we are very happy with Parkside and highly recommend it.

I visit Parkside on a weekly basis as a third party vendor with hospice care. Every single caregiver/management staff that I come in contact with are so kind and helpful. You can tell they truly care about their residents and their families. They are great to work with and communicate well. As our patients that we share decline they go above and beyond to make sure they can remain in their home at Parkside. Parkside offers numerous activities and outings for their residents.
