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.

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Colorado asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.
