Parkview Care Center

I give this Nursing Home an excellent rating. My Step mother was there for the last few months of her life (2007) and my father for a year until nis death (2013) and presently my sister who has is there now and has been for more than 7 years. I live over 600 miles away and I can rest at night knowing she is well cared for. As a retired nurse and former inspector for nursing home facilities , I am familiar with regulations and problems encountered in such facilities, and one of the strong points of this facility in the past has been staff retention---however recently---in the past year it seems the turnover has been greater. However essential care has continued thanks to staff apparently making sure patients come first. I want particularly want to point out that staff responds to any concerns I have and has called me with updates unsolicited when unexpected things have occurred in my sisters care. I admit I was concerned when a new administrator came that the climate of care might change, and it has ---but It seems to have been a smooth transition for the residents and there have been improvements that are evident over the past 2 years. This facility has embraced the challanges of the pandemic and kept their residents safe. I cannot be more pleased with this hometown facility that becomes family to these residents and family to us as well. I feel that for the most part staff treats residents like they are family---if not they are not there long. Highest praise to being invited to participate in patients treatment plan updates by phone. I appreciate timely letters updating me on facility policy changes and the policy of transparency! I was particularly impressed by the evening nurse who called after my sister went for a check-up just to tell me labs were normal,no change to meds. I usually only hear when something is wrong.

The care here is so wonderful! Thank you for making sure our mom is well loved and cherished. The staff is the friendliest of any nursing home. Mom is always clean and neatly dressed too, thank you for that! A long drive from Kansas City but worth it, nothing compares to Parkview Care Center.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff is at Parkview. They took care of my wife, Rita, for the last 2 and a half years of her life. They "adopted" Rita in memory care, and cared for her like she was family. I would highly recommend Parkview to anyone needing help in caring for a loved one.
