The quality and nutrition of the food has gone down. More food is being wasted than is being eaten due to poor quality and poor food choices. There is a lot of fried food being served that is overcooked and not healthy. Examples are overcooked breaded shrimp, overcooked breaded fried fish, hamburger & chicken breast overcooked, dry, and hard to chew. Even though items are on the daily menus they are not available (e.g. eggs at breakfast). The other menu that says "you can order these items at any time" are also not available... read more

Very dark - needs more light. There are trip hazards at the thresholds trying to get into the apartments. Your mom will trip on these - be cautious. The hallways seem like an upscale hospital with fluorescent lights. Not very residential. No activities occurring, all the residents were sleeping in the lobby and the staff was less then friendly. Not a place for my mom.

If waiting 30 minutes after a fall to get help or unattended front desk prevents 911 responders from entering locked doors in the evening indicates EXCELLENT CARE, check out Park Wood. Additionally, you'll enjoy bland, poorly prepared, repetitive meals. Staffing is a revolving door, so you'll meet new staff regularly. The place is beautiful and residents are great, though a lot have recently found new accommodations with better quality of care at more reasonable cost.

Park Wood USED to be a great place with excellent care provided. However, they have reduced the standards for medical staffing. They DO NOT have medical staff on duty in the evenings. Additionally, very few employees are still on staff since a new director has cleaned house...and often reprimands staff AND residents publicly. Food has declined in quantity, variety and preparation. A very different place than it was when my relative moved in last year. Such a disappointment. Lots of people are leaving.

They should never have opened the doors here, they weren't ready and didn't have properly trained employees or systems in place. Everything feels unorganized and sloppy. 80% of the activities indicated on the schedule never take place, and no notice is given if they are cancelled. The caregivers also serve as the waitstaff in the dining room, and even though it is restaurant style dining they'll bring everyone's food out separately instead of when it is all ready, as well as just having an individual bill for each family mem... read more
