Parkview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Big Spring is a senior living community that offers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing care for older adults with health conditions that need medical support. The facility keeps things simple and comfortable, providing in-room cable TV and telephone jacks so residents can stay connected, though calls are at the resident's expense, and offers Wi-Fi and furnished rooms that come with private bathrooms and air conditioning, so everything feels home-like. Residents can enjoy professionally prepared meals in a dining room with restaurant-style service, and the kitchen staff, led by a Certified Dietary Manager and a chef, can handle special diets for diabetes and other medical needs, making sure each person stays healthy and satisfied with their food.
There's a real focus on helping everyone stay as active as they can, with daily activity programs tailored to what people like and can do, including games, arts and crafts projects, exercise classes, music, and religious services, so no one feels left out. Parkview also runs regular trips for shopping or recreation around town when possible, and organizes events and community-sponsored activities, letting residents stay busy and engaged. The facility has its own hair salon, library, game room, fitness and wellness spaces, walking paths, gardens, and a small movie theater area, so folks have choices about how to fill their days, plus a nice outdoor space if someone just wants some quiet or garden air.
The staff at Parkview includes registered nurses, a Director of Nursing, a Quality Assurance Nurse, therapists for physical, occupational, and speech needs, and a Physical Therapist Assistant, which is helpful when someone needs therapy after surgery or illness and wants to recover as much independence as possible. Parkview builds care plans around each resident-helping with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and other daily needs-with nursing staff on 12-16 hour shifts and a 24-hour call system ready for emergencies, so someone's always watching out. They also have a Social Worker on hand to help with things like Medicaid, family support, and other paperwork, while other staff run activities and keep everything organized behind the scenes.
Parkview accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, and supports residents through post-operative care and long-term stays, whether someone needs shorter rehabilitation after the hospital or more permanent care. The facility has 40 certified beds out of 117 as of June 2025, and remains the only locally owned and operated skilled nursing facility in Big Spring, which does make it a familiar name in the area. Other perks at Parkview include weekly or even more frequent excursions, an online newsletter to keep families informed, emergency alert systems for safety, and help with housekeeping, laundry, and move-in. There are private rooms and kitchenettes available, and family involvement is encouraged through resident and family councils, so voices get heard and care can keep improving. Parkview has held a solid reputation for high standards, patient outcomes, and compassion, being owned by a respected health system, and aims to keep resident well-being and daily comfort at the center of what they do.
