4.1 · 69 reviewsThis community is currently closed and they are shutting the doors at the end of April. I had to find somewhere else for my loved one to go. If they were going to close the community I feel like they should have helped the residents find somewhere else to go instead of just leaving them to figure things out. The caregivers care but the community does not.
The people at The Parkview Memphis are nice, but the rooms are very small. They don't have any rooms with central air. I think they're all window units. It's a really old building. Mostly, I just saw that there wasn't any outside grass; it's all just a parking lot. There's nowhere to be outside. The person who gave the tour was very nice. I just don't think it's in the best location.
I went to The Parkview Memphis. They offer some assisted living as far as meals and housekeeping, but not as far as health and medication. The tour was very good. The place was very clean. It was spotless. It's an old historic building, so it has a lot of historic decors. I happened to go during mealtime and the meals are changed daily. You can select what you want off the menu and its restaurant-style, so whatever you tell your waiter that you want, the cook will prepare it for you. The cafeteria area was very nice and the lobby area was fantastic. It was beautiful. The floors in the lobby…

I went to The Parkview Memphis. They offer some assisted living as far as meals and housekeeping, but not as far as health and medication. The tour was very good. The place was very clean. It was spotless. It's an old historic building, so it has a lot of historic decors. I happened to go during mealtime and the meals are changed daily. You can select what you want off the menu and its restaurant-style, so whatever you tell your waiter that you want, the cook will prepare it for you. The cafeteria area was very nice and the lobby area was fantastic. It was beautiful. The floors in the lobby and everything were beautiful. The outside was very clean. There's assigned parking. Each person has their own parking space. The security was great. The area where you walk your dog and where you can go outside and sit down was nice. Once you get upstairs to where the rooms are, you can tell it's kind of dated. It hasn't been updated, but it's still very clean. The actual apartments were dated, but very clean. You can tell they were painted over more than once. The stove and the refrigerator were really small. The studio that I saw was not up to par, but the two-bedroom looked good and the view from all of the rooms was great. They provide transportation to and from the doctor and to and from the grocery store, and they have a nondenominational church service on Sundays. They have a rec room, a workout area and a big-screen television where you can watch movies as well.

I visited The Parkview Memphis. Their monthly fee was $1,800 a month. It included some amenities but it did not include the utilities which I felt it should. It's an older building. I just thought for the money, it was not worth it for me. What I liked is that there was a sense of community there. I liked that the first floor common area where everyone could meet was very clean, fun, and festive. The lunch facility was very nice. From what I understood, the food was very good. The biggest drawback for me was the fact that it is an older building. It was well kept though, and it was clean, but there was not enough amenities for the cost. They offered two meals, a landline phone, drives to take you to your doctors' appointments and to the grocery store, and they have activities throughout the month. When I was looking they were having a Christmas party. It looked like they have parties around the holidays. They have a bingo night. They have either breakfast and lunch, or lunch and dinner. I saw what was being served and what was on the menu, and I asked some people that were there, and they were like, "The food is really good," and it smelled really good, too.
I moved into The Parkview Memphis two weeks ago. I liked the spaciousness of the apartment. It's close to a section of town that's being revitalized/rehabilitated. It has a lot of interesting little shops, entertainment, and fine arts. It's right next to the art museum and the zoo, so that's nice. The food is good. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have some activities, but I like to see a bit more. I have a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen. They have a library, and they have a workout room. They have outdoor area and a nice walking trail. Between here and the art museum, there are several walking trails because it's a very short distance, so that's nice.
I love The Parkview Memphis for me. My brother didn't like it, but I like it for me. If I have thought about doing that later on, I would pick that. I like the atmosphere of it. It was really nice and cozy. It didn't seem like a senior citizen living place. I liked the room. I like the activity that they have planned for the residents, and I like the location because it's in the center of the city and close to activities that I frequent. It's an older building, but I like the character of it. The staff members were good. They were nice. I didn't try the food, but I like the way they had the dining room set up. It's kind of pricey. They gave me a calendar of the events that they have going on that the residents could pick and choose from. They also have enclosed parking that if you have your own vehicle, you could park there safely and not worry about your vehicle.
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.
I chose The Parkview because I loved the building, I grew up in the city not far from here and I just loved the ambiance and I thought that I would be very happy here. They do have a lot of activities available for residents to participate in. Due to my experience, I would not recommend to others who are looking.
