Ivy Park at Fullerton

It is a magnificent place. They have daily events, bible studies, and other Christian events. They keep the seniors who are living there busy. The way I see it, they're the best for how my mother is right now. They pre-plan everything ahead of time.

Mother has been in here since the middle of September. I have a good feeling about it. The staff is very friendly and outgoing, and they call me all the time to let me know how things are going. It's close to my home, and Mother loves the food.

It was an airy place, high ceilings, and a feeling like an old mansion. They had very warm and friendly people there. There was a bistro café as you walk in on the side that offered coffee and snacks to the residents and the guests. It was like an old nice hotel. The staff were very helpful,. They were right on it all the time -- everything that was needed -- and followed up with my mother. The apartments were pretty and surrounded by trees and walking paths. It was very green looking out the window. The one-bedroom didn't have a door between the bedroom and the living room, but it did go around the corner, so there was some sense of privacy between the two. There were two closets, a good sized bathroom, and a kitchen. It looked nice, and I thought I want to live here. The menu was on the elegant side; it wasn't just macaroni and cheese and hotdogs, but different kinds of nice salads, roast beef, and chicken done in different ways. It was like a restaurant menu rather than a cafeteria. The dining area was quite large, and people could sit by themselves if they wanted to. There's also a family dining room. They also told me that they get their orders based on the choices of the day, and they come and bring them their food. They had physical activities like exercise classes and community college classes where instructors would come in and teach, and they had some games and movie nights.

It was very nice. The staff was very caring and the people looked happy.
