The friend I visited was well cared for and treated kindly. Staff were kind and helpful to me. My friend and her unit appeared clean. Loved the unusual bird cage and happy to see the therapy dog that visits weekly. Nice music for this population.

Parmer Woods is such a nice, peaceful residence for my old friend. His space is clean and comfortable, with sunlight coming through the windows and pleasant temperatures. The staff is warm, friendly and welcoming. I’m so happy his family chose your facility.

I wish I could recommend Parmer Woods, but unfortunately I can’t at this time. My mother has lived here for over two years, and while there are positives—the residents are friendly and the staff is responsive—the dining experience has become a serious and ongoing issue. When she first moved in, the food was fine. Over time, however, it has declined significantly. The quality, variety, flavor, and service of meals are consistently disappointing, especially at lunch and dinner. It has gotten so bad that my mother regularly skips those meals altogether. Breakfast is the exception: food is warm, arrives on time, and tastes good—likely because fewer residents are dining then. That contrast makes the problems at other meals even more noticeable. What’s most frustrating is that this isn’t a new or isolated complaint. Residents have repeatedly raised concerns about both the food and dining room service. Management has acknowledged these issues, yet nothing has improved. For a community like this, consistent, quality dining should be a basic expectation. Right now, it’s falling far short.
