Ivy Park at Sacramento

Marian

I toured Ivy Park at Sacramento. The people were extremely nice and looked like a wonderful facility. They would take very good care of you. It's a little more controlled than I would look for at first. The only downside is the rooms are kind of small, but they're not bad. It's a beautiful spot, they have a little garden and the very best part is it's near Scripps Drive where the majority of my doctors are located, which is a good thing. I liked it. I'm not ready for it yet. But the people, most of them have walkers, and it just looks like a little more care than I would need. The staff was excellent. They showed me a few menus and they looked fine, and they had sandwiches available all day. I was happy to see that they had a hair salon. And there was one room, if I could get it on the corner of the bottom floor, that looked very nice. But, some of the one-bedrooms are very small. I liked it, it was a typical senior home.

Provider Response

My mom was a resident at Ivy Park at Sacramento. The caregivers were very supportive of me and my sister. My mother received loving and kind care from the caregivers, and that supported our desire to provide the best management care for my mom. The facility was beautiful. My mother had a beautiful path going by her window. She had some birdhouses on pedestals. The environment was very comforting. She could see the outdoors from her window. They had activities like listening to or watching music videos that were appropriate for her generation. They had a mass on television, so their spiritual needs were met. They did the best they could, and I appreciate that. I had a good relationship with them. They communicated regularly, and we could count on them. The staff ratio was good.

I was very impressed with them. I find it to be a very warm and inviting environment. The staff was great. The employee who assisted me was very friendly and informative. They have all the amenities that one could expect in a situation like that. They have lots of activities for those who would join the community that can participate, but they also have a very high level of care for people who need various assistance, depending on their medical condition. It's a lovely setting. It's a safe environment, too, as they have good security. It's not a large facility. They have a capacity for 70-something people. It's like walking into a private residence instead of an assisted living type of situation. It's very intimate and inviting, and the rooms are lovely. It's a top-notch place. I would highly recommend it. It's going to be high on my list.

It was very nice and high on our list. I don't have anything bad to say about it, except that most of the rooms were on the 2nd floor, and navigating an elevator would be an issue for my sister-in-law. The people were very nice, and it was in a good location, but it just wasn't right for our needs. The lady who showed me around was very nice, and the staff members I saw were friendly.

I went here and liked it very much. It would have been one of my first choices. It was small enough to get well involved with the activities, which was important to me. The other thing that they had that the others did not have was that they were willing to take me any place within the area, including doctors, on their buses. It's difficult to change doctors and they are very accommodating. I'd like to be well involved in the activities. It was a very bright and cheerful place.
