I can attest that the owners are full of compassion, kindness, and integrity. I work with senior living operators across the country and I know for a fact that The Parke has gone above and beyond what other operators have implemented to ensure the health and safety of their residents. Locally-based owners of senior living communities are becoming more rare, so anyone in need of assisted living should definitely tour The Parke to meet the professional and caring staff. You'll have your answer if you ask the residents if they are happy!

Visiting my Aunt is always amazing especially when I know She lives in an incredible place like The Parke. All the staff always smiles and says hello. She is very well taken care of and she has a ton of friends there. I wish more places were like them because Ive seen some that are not up to par or even close to The Parke.

I have been in the industry for 11 years and counting, this community is by far the best overall I have had the pleasure of working in. The Parke truly feels like family in regards to not only the staff but the sweet and loving residents as well. It honestly feels like home and I wish I had gotten here much sooner. They just replaced the carpet throughout the entire community PLUS added Legacy Home Health inside to provide therapies to all of our residents. The progress being made at The Parke is absolutely incredible and I continue to recommend to everyone with a need for assisted living or looking
