We have been pleased with The Parkview studio apartment. Perfect size for my brother, and because he lives there a free membership to the zoo is included (within walking distance). Two daily meals and weekly room cleaning is included in monthly rent (my brother is on a fixed income). The staff is very friendly and helpful.... Read more

About the facility The Parkview

Retirement is the perfect time to relax, and at The Parkview you’ll find the perfect place to relax in a wholesome retirement community. Parkview’s owner, Jay McBride, designed The Parkview community after a challenging effort to help his father-in-law find the perfect place to retire. McBride believed senior living should cater and genuinely accommodate “the greatest generation,” and because of his passion, The Parkview in Tennessee was created.

Upon visiting, many will take notice that Parkview is a community of unique individuals. Everyone in our community is considered family and that sense is always apparent among staff, residents, visitors, and within everything we do. The Parkview was designed to provide exceptional senior living that ultimately promotes dignity, independence, and leisure to individuals 55 and up.

No matter where anyone is in life’s journey, home is meant to be a place of familiarity, safety, and joy, all of which The Parkview embodies. You don’t have to take our word for it, check out a review from a satisfied family member, “My mom moved in back in December. They truly care for her and she loves all the activities. She was leery after living in New Jersey for 90 years but is...

My opinion.

This community was ok when we visited. The staff that took us on tour of the community were nice. It seemed like a clean community. The downstairs was beautiful, however the upstairs could use some updating.

I like this community!

The staff has been fine at this community. The food is good and they offer a lot of choices. This is a very old building that they are doing some renovations on and they do what they can to keep it clean. This community was in a convenient location for me.

This community is beautiful!!

The staff at this community take good care of my mom. They are great about contacting me about her care. The community is clean and well taken care of. My only minor complaint is that they serve a lot of pork and they do not offer sugar free desserts. Sunday evening the offer a sack lunch. They offer daily activities and outings to stores and restaurants.

The Parkview is Answered Prayer!

(July, 2015) We're so happy our mom is living at the Parkview! After great searching to find the very best place for Mom that would meet her several specific needs, we were very fortunate to find the Parkview. She loves it there and happily calls it home now. The building is impressively beautiful and elegant. Mom is delighted with her apartment and its unique beauty. Before moving her things in, Parkview did a fantastic joy of preparing, cleaning and making the apartment ready for Mom to call it her new home. The maintenance department is remarkable! They happily and expertly took care of all the tweaks we requested be done in the apartment so that everything would be just as Mom was hoping. They truly have a "can do" and "glad to do it" attitude which made things so much easier and pleasant. The food is delicious, creative and restaurant quality! The meals are served with kind thoughtfulness, and caring attention. And what an elegant dining room and serving style! The Personalized Living Sitter Department is outstanding! They lovingly assist Mom with dignity, and kindness while providing her with encouragement and nurturing care. Their department has especially helped Mom to have the quality of life we were hoping she would be able to continue enjoying at this stage of her life. With their extensive customized care and flexibility they have greatly simplified things for Mom and our family. Their director is amazing and she serves from a heart of ministry and uncommon compassion. We are so grateful for them! The Administration staff shines! They are one of the key reasons we knew we wanted Mom to make Parkview her home. The Executive Director is answered prayer! He is generous, understanding, and sincerely cares. He has shown extraordinary consideration and tremendous warmth in every encounter we've had with him. The Sales and Marketing Director was the first person we met in considering Parkview and she is one of the main reasons we selected Parkview. Her extensive knowledge and expert help were only surpassed by her gracious patience and compassion with all the questions and requirements we had. It is wonderful how the other staff members at Parkview also truly care for the residents and treat them as family. There is an obvious atmosphere of "home" and "family" throughout Parkview. There are many great amenities included in the rent. Also there is a fantastic physical and occupational therapy department within the building that has been a huge part of Mom's improved quality of life while being at the Parkview! They have given Mom excellent care and encouragement. They are amazing in the ways they have consistently brought creative solutions to meet Mom's particular needs - which has helped her to gain independence and be more comfortable. They, and their care, are so valuable! There are many fun and diverse activities planned an offered within the building and excursions all around the city too. Not your typical "just bingo night" activities here! The Parkview location is very convenient to all that Mom and her family members need for her to best enjoy her life there. It is in a beautiful location and so many fun places of interest - all around! We highly recommend The Parkview and encourage you to go see for yourselves why it is so highly thought of in the community and why we're so grateful we "found a place for Mom" at the Parkview!

We have toured several times. They were very helpful..

We have toured several times. They were very helpful and very friendly. We tasted the food and it was excellent. We like the location. It's close to the zoo and museums. It is also close to the VA where my husband gets his treatments. We haven't moved in yet, but we have toured and visited The Parkview several times. The facility is nice. It's really clean. I can't rate the activities. It is not applicable.

So far they seem to be doing okay. It's a tough adjustment, and mom is having a hard time getting settled. It's a nice, clean place, though, and the staff is friendly. I don't have any major concerns, at this point though.

Far exceeded our expectations

Helped my Aunt move in to the Parkview about 4 months ago and it was the best move we ever made. From day 1 the staff and personnel were very nice, caring and patient with my Aunt. I thought, well this is just how it is until they get you in and start collecting your money, but I was wrong. Their level kindness and patience far exceeded any and all of my expectations. Everyone from the Director himself all the way down to the restaurant staff have been so kind. I must mention, my Aunt is not the easiest person in the world to be around all the time, but they have been so patient in trying to help her acclimate. We interviewed about 5 facilities before choosing Parkview, and I have to say, that hands down it was cleaner nicer than all of the other 4 by far, yet comparably priced. I would recommend this place to anyone even remotely thinking about a retirement community for their loved one. I cannot speak highly enough about this place.

Hopeful that there will be a change

The Parkview was our only choice after the previous assisting living place closed up and informed their residences that they had to move. It was all we could afford and they did work with us regarding payment arrangements. We chose not to engage in the caregiving optionals, so we clean and bring the medications ourselves. The only part that I'm not comfortable with is the cleanliness of the place. I think they need to hire a cleaning agency or company who will be held responsible for the up keep of the building. The building is already dated and been around for many, many years and I'm just hoping that they will personally tour the building periodically so they can see it for themselves and soon realize that they should keep it as clean as they would want it if their parents were living there.

This was our second choice. We liked the location, and that they had an established mens group. They had transportation, to and from places, but it was limited. The rooms are a good size, it's older. The people are wonderful. They are very professional helpful and open.
