Holiday Parkview in Allen

Ellen

Parkview in Allen was very nice, and that's probably the one that I liked the best. It had the right amenities for the right price. It was 3-stories, it's independent, and it's considered aging in place. You don't have to move facilities even if it's just next door or something like that. They tend to stay in their apartments. The tour was fine for what we were looking for. They were screening at the doors for temperatures. We went the day before Christmas, and the tour was guided by the salesperson. They followed up well. I liked it. I'd say in the last five years or so, that one was the newest that we'd seen, and it was very nice. They're very accommodating and the salesperson was far enough to know everything that I would need to know, and any questions that I had she was able to answer. We were interested in anything 1-bedroom at that time, but we saw one of the 2-bedrooms. They were all modern, and there was nobody in there at all. While we were walking through, they had somebody there singing with a guitar and they were socially distanced on the ground floor. They also had an open area up another floor that had a balcony, so people were sitting outside their doors and listening. They told us they had not had any Covid cases at all, so they say they're keeping that up, but they can possibly change.

I moved into Parkview in Allen 2-1/2 weeks ago. I love the apartments. They have individual apartments, and they're almost like any standalone apartment complex, but better. They also have cleaning service once a week. I have no complaints, and I think any senior person would like this particular location. The staff is wonderful, I have no problems. One additional thing that they have is the handicap accessories, which are wonderful. The only complaint I would have is the food and I will be addressing that. We just got here, so I need to just talk in particular with the kitchen or whoever manages their food selection about my particular diet, because I have a special diet. With the Covid, they're pretty much delivering the food because the dining room has limited space. I haven't really participated in any of the activities as of yet because of everything that's going on with Covid, but they seem to have a wide variety of guest speakers. At one time when I first moved in, they actually had a guest speaker that was just talking to the residents. I didn't participate because I was in the process of moving in. Other than that, they seem to have a little active activities person with a lot of active things that you can participate in. It's just that I haven't participated in any of it. They had laundry rooms too.

Parkview and everyone there was nice, and the staff member was very kind. The rooms were nice, but we needed a larger one. I enjoyed the visit.

They gave us a very thorough tour at Parkview. They were very kind and helpful. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath looked very clean. There was a kitchen, living area, and a utility room. It had a balcony and it was pretty up to date. They had Wii bowling, dances, card games, and a quilting circle. The residents we met seemed happy and well cared for. We have a friend who lives there and she absolutely loves it. They plan outings around the area.

I visited the Parkview in Allen, it would have been the number one choice, but they did not have the level of hands on assistance, and they’re a little bit larger, so that would have been a drawback for my mom. The facility was beautiful, very well-cared for, and updated. The staff was very nice, and the food was very good, but it was only independent living and doesn’t have staff for day to day assistance. The staff was excellent, and the people in the dining room that we met were very friendly and accommodating. The layout was very easy because it was a big square, but it was large, and the apartment we were looking for her was quite a distance, so it was a little bit daunting for her. I thought the pricing was fair and average for the size of rooms.

I'm living at Parkview in Allen, it's a good place, and I'm very satisfied. They have everything. They have card games, bingo, and all types of activities. The staff is wonderful, they're good people, and everything is fine. It's just like any place. Sundays are not as good, but most days, it's good. We have a pool, a bus takes you where you need to go, like to a doctor or the store, but I drive. Everything is inclusive, except the cable TV and telephone.
