Ivy Park at Tustin

I believe my father needed more care than they were able to give. A few items of note: Staff is not permitted to give medications at the dining table, so any medications that were to be given with meals were late -- sometimes very late. That alone would have been a deal-breaker, had we known the policy. Dad sometimes had to wait a long time for assistance. While the staff were caring and nice, they seemed overworked and short staffed. The aides also have to wait tables in the dining room, which leaves them little time to help wheel-chair bound residents get ready for meals. Also of note, there seemed to be quite a turnover of staff during the past year. There was little help with dietary restrictions -- dad was frequently served items that he was not supposed to eat. Many of the residents complained that the food was not good -- it did not seem to be a priority. Mealtimes are extremely early and short and the kitchen closes very early. It was a very difficult adjustment for a late riser. They try to provide food during off-times, but it's not freshly made. On the positive side, dad did enjoy the activities -- particularly the music, and the "field trips." I did see many residents working on puzzles and playing games. It's also a very small place, which meant that a staff member was usually fairly close by. Having regular physical therapy onsite was also a plus. Their intent may have been good, but the execution was not great -- overall pretty frustrating for our family. And very expensive....

Sunrise of Tustin is an amazing quaint community. It is so nice to visit a community that feels like home. Bryan the Executive Director is one of the most kindest people I have had the pleasure of knowing. He is a very strong leader and the community is so lucky to have him lead this already amazing team. If you are looking for an assisted living community for your love one you must stop by and meet this team you will be in caring and loving hands.

Sunrise is a top notch community and if you want a Fantastic, Fabulous, extraordinary, and very caring place for your family member to live, please take the time to talk with Antonio. He is the BEST at what he does. He goes above and beyond the call of duty and helps in whatever you need. The food is super tasty and lots of variety. I eat there 4 times a week and the service in the dining room is superb. Sunrise of Tustin knows the magic and you do not feel like you are in an assisted living place but instead a home with lots of family members. Thank you, Sunrise of Tustin. Patty
