The staff handled everything with such calm confidence that my overthinking brain eventually gave up and went on vacation.

I’ve been a resident of Parkwood Estates since September 2023. I very much like the physical facility itself: the interior upgrades, my apartment, the way the building is laid out, the grounds.<br>My reason for giving Parkwood 4 stars is dining services. And, remember, this is my opinion [emphasis on ‘my’]. Meals are on a 5-week rotational basis. But during those 5 weeks, many of the meals, especially breakfast, are frequently repeated. Even though the menus are basically dictated by corporate, I wish that the chefs could use their imaginations more, even with the second option offered for lunch and supper.<br>Our general manager is very much in tune with the needs of the residents. In fact, when she was appointed our GM, there was rejoicing and ‘dancing in the streets’ [so to speak]. All staff members fulfill their functions as best they can each day. Remember, they’re all human.Do you have a perfect day every day?<br>Speaking of staff, I’d like to give kudos to one of our housekeepers, Faith. From my own weekly experience, Faith does an excellent job at whatever she does, whether it be vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom, dusting, mopping the floor or changing and laundering the bed linens. There are also instances when the 2 housekeepers are called upon to help serve meals, due to a lack of servers.<br>Bottom line, I like living at Parkwood.

I moved to Parkwood 3 years ago, my MS had got to the point where I was having trouble with things like making meals and cleaning but I definitely wasn’t ready for assisted living. My daughters went with me to look at the many different facilities in Fort Collins but when we got to Parkwood we could all tell we had found someplace special. From the moment we walked into the building it felt like home. The staff greeted us with warm caring smiles and made sure we felt welcome.<br>After living here for 3 years I can say without hesitation that I’m glad I made the decision to move here. Parkwood offers so many wonderful things for someone in my situation. 3 good home cooked meals per day. Weekly house cleaning. Bus service from Parkwood to anywhere in the city Monday through Friday, special programs and presentations, and a caring encouraging atmosphere that motivates the residents to stay engaged in their lives and community.
