Parkview on Hollybrook Independent Living

Parkview on Hollybrook Independent Living sits at 601 Hollybrook Drive in Longview, Texas, offering seniors a quiet and comfortable place to live with a focus on independence and support when needed, and there's a lot to mention, because the building itself feels almost like a small resort, as it's got well-kept courtyards, a swimming pool, a putting green, and outdoor areas with gardens where residents can relax or visit with friends, while inside you'll find a theater for movies, a library for quiet reading, a fitness center, and rooms for games and activities, and Wi-Fi is available throughout, which is pretty useful for staying in touch with family. The community operates as a continuing care retirement community, so there's options if care needs change, with independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing home services available, and the staff create care plans that match the needs of each resident, while medical staff are available if needed. Parkview on Hollybrook is pet-friendly, allowing both cats and dogs, and has a beauty salon onsite, weekly housekeeping, dry cleaning, and transportation services for trips to local attractions or medical appointments, plus a full calendar of activities, both on and offsite, planned by a full-time activity director, with outings, social events, education programs, arts and crafts, devotionals, and fitness classes. Residents can choose floor plans like the Azalea, Bluebonnet, Gardenia, Laurel, Mimosa, or Honeysuckle, offering one- or two-bedroom layouts with safety features, kitchens or kitchenettes, and washers and dryers, and communal spaces include dining rooms serving chef-prepared meals, and private or shared rooms are available for memory care. There's housekeeping, maintenance, medication dispensers, and emergency alert systems for safety, with staff described as helpful and friendly. The senior apartment units have their own cable TV, sprinklers, and handicap-accessible features, and the building also offers guest parking and a salon or barbershop. Residents can bring their own furniture and decorate how they like, and the place is known for its friendly community, regular social events, and an effort to help everyone remain active and engaged. The average review rating by residents and families is 4.7 out of 5, with 10 reviews on SeniorAdvisor.com, and the place holds a 4.5-star Excellent rating. The community connects families with local advisors to help guide choices about care, and there's plenty of information available on costs, payment options, and long-term care insurance. Meals are provided, with a focus on nutrition and quality, and the whole community is designed with senior safety and well-being in mind, offering a secure, hotel-like feel and supportive staff, but independent living residents manage their own daily activities and don't have personal care staff unless they move to higher care options. Memory care and assisted living units support seniors with more needs, including those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and the staff try to reduce confusion and prevent wandering for those residents. Parkview on Hollybrook aims to help seniors have a good quality of life, stay active, and feel at home, and it's set in the Longview area, known for its rich history, diverse community, and high standard of living, which gives residents many opportunities for local trips and outings.
