Ivy Park of Wellington - Laguna Woods, CA

Stephen

I went to look at Ivy Park of Wellington. I like the daily activities, the food, and the facility. They have a gym, a movie theater, and a wide range of activities. The menu looked very appealing. The apartments were well-maintained, small, and expensive. The upkeep was excellent. The living facilities are very cramped. You have to store your clothes in a closet that's out on the balcony.

We liked everything about Ivy Park of Wellington - Laguna Woods, CA. My godmother was very happy and she liked it a lot. She would have chosen this facility had the price been within her budget. The staff was very nice and friendly, and they even offered us to stay for lunch, but we had another appointment. Their dining room was nice and clean. The front of the building and the lobby were very nice, and it was very conveniently located close to a hospital.

I really, really liked Ivy Park of Wellington. What I liked best was the location. The location was familiar to me. It just seemed to be a really, really nice location. The restaurant facility was really nice. The people were very friendly. I had a feel of what it would be like to live in a place that have meals there with other people. I liked that a lot. That was what I like the best. The room that I looked at all had small kitchenette. The rooms had a fairly good-sized refrigerator, which surprised me. Some of them had a stovetop, but some of them didn't, and they just said the microwave. It was pretty well set up other than furniture. The thing that I liked the best was they have a really, really pretty nice courtyard, nice walking paths around the courtyard, and a nice place to sit and all that stuff. I got to see their schedule of their activities. They have really good activities for the people. I talked to a couple of the ladies that lived there and I had kind of lunch at their table, and they were talking about how they would go to see some shows at Segerstrom, and I said, "Oh, that would be nice to have that type of thing available." The only thing I would mark them down on is the cost. It's one of the expensive ones that I looked at, but I really liked it. The lady that took me there was absolutely fantastic. She was very helpful, she answered all my questions, and she took lots of time with me. She checked with me a few times to see where I'm at in my decision making. She's very good. I was very impressed. The food was very good. My daughter and I were there, and it was kind of late morning, so we both had breakfast. The food was very good. I would say it's excellent. Very tasty. Their layout and everything was really good.

It is excellent. The food is very good, the only thing bad about it is the facility, it doesn't have central air and excellent activities. As far as exercise programs and all of that, remodelling of the main building, their living accommodations are not as good. We only saw the independent, and I think the independent kind of goes in with the assisted. The staff is outstanding. They have a good selection, but we didn't like what we chose. I think their food is probably very good, we didn't like our main course, but we liked everything else.

We visited for my stepdad. My husband and I like it better because it is a bigger facility with more amenities that stood out to me, like the pool. The staff and cleanliness seemed good. The rooms were large and very nice. The common dining areas and entryway were nice. Everything seemed very nice.

We visited and it was a really nice place but didn’t have what my friend was looking for, and the rooms were too small for her. The staff was fine. I saw a pool and a lounging area for the residents.

Everybody was fine. We went in and had lunch. They were very nice, and the food was good. They showed us around, and it was very pleasant. The rooms were OK, although on the small side, but nice.

I am currently here and the staff is pretty caring and efficient. I'm sure there's always room for improvement as the med techs and caregivers are not always on the same page, but for the most part, I think they are very caring. They have a very good chef here that feeds us. They probably could improve just a little bit on having maybe some foods with more complex carbohydrates rather than plain carbohydrates, but for the most part, I don’t have any problem ordering either breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

We really like the friendliness of the place. It is very open and very welcoming. My loved one has a studio room. It is a very nice room. We are very happy with it. It has a little kitchenette and a bathroom. There is a very nice view of the pool. She has a small balcony, so it is very light and airy. She doesn't feel closed-in. Also she loves the food at Las Palmas. They have a nice salad bar. There is a special menu everyday and if you don't like that, you can order from the regular menu. She is very happy with the food.

I just liked it here. The rooms and the grounds are lovely. The staff is very nice and thorough. The people were also nice. She has only been there for two weeks, so I really don't know much about the facility. For the memory care area, I would like to see that they have a space where the residents can go in and out freely.

What I like most about here is the entire facility, the ambience of the facility, the staff, the service that they provide, the grounds in which they're located and the resources they provide including enclosed patio with pool. It's much like a garden apartment complex. The dining area is very comfortable. The architecture there is very welcoming. It's a little bit like a theme restaurant and the food so far in the several weeks we've been here has been excellent. Breakfast, lunch and dinner have been more than quite satisfactory. The only thing that's missing is a bottle of wine with dinner.
