Summer Local Living 2023

Local Living Summer 2023— 5 F or the second year in a row, Parkview Senior Living has been chosen as Tullahoma’s Finest Long Term Living Fa- cility by readers of Tullahoma News. Parkview Tullahoma’s Di- rector of Operations Jenny Comstock said, “I like to say we try and run a little cruise ship on land just for seniors. It’s like a retirement commu- nity and resort all in one.” Parkview Senior Living is the vision of developer Jay McBride. Jay needed help in finding his father-in-law a safe, dignified place to live that suited his need to con- tinue to live independently. When he couldn’t find a place in East Tennessee that was ‘just right’, he decided to de- sign a senior living community that would fit the needs of his father-in-law, and out of this need, Parkview Senior Living was developed and built. Parkview provides luxury apartment living with afford- able pricing for the Tullahoma area, featuring restaurant- style dining, where residents order off the menu each eve- ning, a gym with exercise classes, and even a movie the- ater. Plus, they’re pet friendly. Parkview has the feel of a small town community of yesteryear, one your parents or grandparents used to tell stories about, where everyone knew their neighbors by their first names. Residents play games together, read together in the library, do puzzles to- gether, and even dine together. Comstock says “It’s a happy, fun kind of place to be, not an ‘I’m sick and can’t care for my- self anymore’ place. Parkview is where seniors can live each day fulfilled and thrive.” Parkview takes the ap- proach that the residents are in charge, as opposed to as- sisted living facilities where nursing staff direct the daily lives of residents. Comstock says Parkview promotes so- cialization, which is key. Mak- ing friends, staying active with fun activities and being happy is good for residents’ mental, emotional and physical health and well-being. Parkview’s entire staff is very appreciative of the contin- ued trust that the Tullahoma community places in them in caring for the area’s seniors. They feel it’s an honor to be of service to the Tullahoma community, and winning this award is a continued vote of confidence. Comstock said, “We make a large impact in our resident’s lives, which changes the entire community for the better.” Parkview is staffed 24/7, and provides chef-prepared meals, housekeeping services, entertainment activities, and resident assistance for the ev- eryday tasks of life. Comstock said, “We’re their family, at their service. If they need a ride to a doctor’s appointment, we provide that. If they need a daily reminder to take their medicine, we do that as well.” To schedule a tour, give Parkview Senior Living a call, 931-222-4800. Each sched- uled tour visit includes lunch, so you can try the food and get a feel for what it’s like to be a Parkview resident. Walk- in tours are also welcome. If you like what you experience, Parkview has added the oppor- tunity for potential residents to stay overnight in an apart- ment guest room to have the full resident experience before deciding. “We have a beautiful staff family that loves and cares for our residents,” Comstock said. “We are their family away from family.” Williams & Duckworth Names You Know.
