I have contacted this business 4 times asking them to take my father off of their mailing list (which comes to my home). It still has not happened. Please be considerate of families who have lost loved ones.<br>UPDATE: It has been over a year since my original review. I still get mail for my deceased father.

Speaking from experience in the aging‑services world, Sioux Falls is fortunate to have this facility and the strong team behind it. The Parkwood offers top‑tier amenities and such great opportunities for social connection.

The best decision I ever made is to move here. Not only am I living the good life here at The Parkwood - I am three miles from the home I grew up in. The apartments are awesome! I have a one bedroom with a spacious kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom with the laundry room. Also three closets. The staff here are awesome. Nathan, Brittany, Sam, Rusty, and Jenni go above and beyond to extend their help where needed. We also have two awesome chefs, Matthew and Amber. Best oatmeal in the state at continental breakfast. Sherri is our amazing Activity Director and there is never a dull moment! The residents are very welcoming to new neighbors and make you feel right at home. People are what make a community like Parkwood thrive and we are definitely thriving!

As an OT who sees clients in their home setting, I love walking into the Parkwood as there's always smiling faces and people gathered to visit, play games, or learn during community education events. I am thoroughly impressed with the accessibility and layout of each apartment and the beautiful building as a whole. The team at The Parkwood takes the time to know each person who lives there and will go above and beyond to support each person as needs arise. I strongly recommend The Parkwood!
