I have been visiting this facility for many years. While not the ritziest facility with the finest furnishings and antiques in town, it is a complex-care facility serving the needs of those who cannot be cared for in other facilities. One of the things that has always impressed me is, despite the enormous size and complexity of this facility, the residents always have appeared to be very happy. This is something I do not find in the high-end facilities. The nursing department takes a lot of pride in the appearance of their residents.
Parkway has six separate nursing units.
There are 24 rooms on each unit. The separate units give this multi-level facility a more intimate feeling per the facility staff. Parkway's size and commitment to meeting the resident's needs affords them the benefit of an in-house pharmacy, coffee shop, dental office, beauty shop, physical therapy, occupational therapy, hydrotherapy with both hubbard tank, whirlpools, speech therapy, and respiratory therapy. This facility may be the most advanced when it comes to caring for complex medical needs such as tracheotomies, intravenous therapy, tube feedings, complex wounds, rehabilitation and even Alzheimer residents. The Rehab Unit is under the direction of a physiatrist, who is a physician who specializes in rehabilitation.
