Prestige Care & Rehabilitation - Parkside

Prestige Care & Rehabilitation - Parkside sits in a quiet spot in Union Gap, Washington, over on W Emma Street, and belongs to the wider group of Prestige Care communities, which some folks say are known for high standards even though the place here at Parkside gets a 3-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and an average resident rating of 4 out of 10, so you know people have mixed feelings about it if you look at those 2.0 stars from a handful of reviews. The community offers a lot of different living options, like Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, and regular Nursing Home care, so older adults with all sorts of needs can find something here-whether folks just want a bit of help, need round-the-clock nursing, or are recovering from a hospital stint with skilled rehab services like physical, speech, and occupational therapy, all in a place with 24-hour staffing, a call system, and care plans that adjust if someone's needs change, especially if there are disabilities, memory issues, or more serious illnesses that pop up after surgeries or during long-term conditions. The building's mostly studio rooms and there's an effort to keep things comfortable, with some nice touches like gardens, walking paths, and pleasant social spaces such as a dining room, arts room, and even a barber shop, and you'll see staff who can help with many needs, like bathing, dressing, medication, or wound care, and they offer transportation, laundry, meals prepared with special diets in mind, and even an all-day dining option if you don't like set meal schedules. People can request short-term respite stays or just come by to see for themselves, meet some caregivers who can speak different languages (mostly English), and maybe chat with some of the residents to get a feel for the day-to-day. Parkside's supposed to be welcoming, with organized activities and support for hobbies, and there's a push for treating residents like family and including everyone, no matter how much help they need, which is important for those dealing with dementia or Alzheimer's since they also offer award-winning memory care according to their own mention. The place aims for more of a community setting than an institution, and folks interested in moving in-or their families-can always take a tour to see if it might suit their routine, preferences, or medical needs down the line.
