My husband, who has Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, has been in memory care at The Ivy for over a year. There were management changes more than a year ago, and for a while there were certainly some transition issues. But over the past year, his care has been excellent. With the addition of more activities directors for both memory care and assisted living, there has been a noticeable increase in music programs, outings, and other activities for the residents. The staff is always welcoming, responsive, and helpful, and the facility is extremely well maintained. I visit very often and have gotten to know many of the staff members. I feel very comfortable there and appreciate how open and accessible everyone is. Most importantly, I feel confident that my husband is well cared for. I would certainly recommend The Ivy to anyone looking for a caring and well-run memory care community.
I had a great experience taking my mother on a tour of Ivy Park in Santa Monica! My mom is not quite sure if she’s ready for assisted living yet, and the staff at Ivy Park were so kind and sympathetic to her situation, with absolutely no pressure. Amber took us on a tour where we got to see all of the resident common spaces and a beautifully appointed apartment. All the residents there seemed to be comfortable, engaged, and enjoying themselves. We even got to try the food, which was delicious! I felt like Amber cared about us as human beings and was truly listening to our feedback and my mother’s preferences for her living situation. Transitioning to assisted living is a huge and difficult choice for everyone in the family, and I really appreciated the compassion and empathy we received on our tour.
We came to visit a friend, and Josh Brose went way beyond the call of duty to make feel at home. He is an amazing person. You’re lucky to have him!
