This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 18% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 31 findings, above the MO average of 12.0. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Parkwood Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center faces severe and consistent criticism regarding cleanliness, staff responsiveness, and quality of care. While a few reviewers mention positive experiences with physical therapy, the overwhelming majority of feedback describes a facility plagued by neglect, unsanitary conditions, and poor communication.

Key Review Excerpts
“A nurse at this facility stopped CPR on a full code patient because she ASSUMED he was a hospice patient/DNR she then left the room leaving him in there alone while he was coding and he unfortunately passed away due to this facility’s negligence”
“The smell of urine and poo is so bad in the basement in the wing for long term health care. I questioned it, was told no one smells it.”
“He received the best physical and occupational therapy he ever had. He came here weak and not able to stand or walk by himself. At the end of the 2 weeks he was able to get out of bed, dress himself and walk with the aid of a walker.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement.
