Parkwood Village and the Landing, a 70-bed nonprofit community at 1730 Parkwood Blvd W in Wilson, Wilson County, North Carolina, is operated by Well Spring Retirement Community. The facility serves residents with assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care needs on both Medicare and private-pay bases.
The inspection record reflects persistent challenges with medication administration and safety.
Since 2015, the facility has accumulated 62 deficiencies, 35 percent more than the state average and with recurring concerns including missed medication doses, failure to directly observe medication intake, and inaccurate medication records. Four state penalties totaling $25,000 were assessed between 2023 and 2024, including a settlement agreement. The most recent February 2025 annual inspection identified two moderate-level deficiencies: unsecured oxygen tanks stored in a resident’s room and missing physician-ordered therapeutic diet documentation for three sampled residents. These findings suggest ongoing gaps in storage protocols and dietary coordination despite previous cited deficiencies.
The facility’s 5-star CMS rating reflects substantial investment in staffing depth. Average nursing care runs 8 hours 7 minutes per resident per day, representing a 65 percent margin above the state benchmark and ranking third among North Carolina nursing homes. This staffing commitment provides meaningful direct care capacity for residents requiring frequent assistance.
Amenities include a theater with reclining seating, a secured memory care garden, and a patio courtyard. Residents participate in live entertainment, arts programming, walking groups, bingo, exercise classes, and scheduled excursions. The facility offers beauty services, a library, fitness facilities, and complimentary transportation. On-site staff operate around the clock.
