Overall, we're happy with Parkside

Overall, this facility is a good place. We're happy with mom being here. I will say, based on our experience, the care staff at Rehab facilities seem to be more skilled than the care staff in Assisted Living facilities. But the staff is good here. They're always pleasant and nice. Communication with the family is ok. I've reached out to the Director with questions and there were a few times that I didn't get a response back from him. Mom enjoys the food, it's good quality and they offer a good variety. Housekeeping is weekly and trash removal is daily and they do a good job. The activities are good, I think they do their best. Sometimes they have activities listed on the schedule that don't end up happening, I was told that in those cases it is due to lack of participation. But they do have quite a few activities. Mom really enjoys Bingo. She's definitely been more active since being here and she likes it here. She had to move to a Rehab facility for awhile. As soon as she finished Rehab, she was ready and wanted to come back to this facility. I would recommend this facility to friends and family.

With mom's mobility issues, some of the facilities we looked at had rooms, at the time we were looking, that were too far distant. This facility came closest to meeting her needs. We particularly liked the layout of this place. They have issues, like many businesses - in maintaining staffing levels, as well as quality of the staff. The major complaint here seems to be food quality.

We had a very good tour at The Courtyard at Oshkosh. Our tour guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable - I was impressed with them. Compared to other places we toured, this one reminded me more of a nursing home though, and it wasn’t quite as upscale. But it was a very clean facility.

My Review for My Mom

I would tell others that this was the best option for us and our situation. If we were looking at another place again, we would probably go back. The staff seemed great and were nice to work with. The shower schedule seemed to be only two days a week, it would be nice to have seen this happen a little more often for some of the residents. The food was okay, and was above average compared to some other communities. The staff were good at figuring out how to assist with getting my loved one to eat. There was a lot going on during the day for the residents to participate in for activities.

Seems like there has been a constant turn-over of staff at this facility. Management has been trying to retain staff-and we hope they can. We realize that COVID-19 has a lot to do with it. Our mother seems to have her favorite staff members that really treat her well. The food that is served smells and looks good!
