Ivy Park at Sacramento

Lorraine

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.

It was the place I was leaning towards even though the rooms were a bit smaller. The crafts person agreed to take over the crafts because I would help her with that. The staff also would take me to any of my doctors’ visits, so I would not have to change all of my doctors. That to me was very big because when I moved down here, I had to change all of my doctors, and that was a very difficult process. To be able to keep my doctors and not have to go through those changes were, I thought, really good things. It was a smaller facility, so it was a lot more flexible, but I felt they were very interesting. I would like one of their larger apartments if I ever were to move in there. They were really lovely. It was a new building, and things were really nice. I am a person who likes to get involved, and they were very nice to make plans very quickly with the kinds of things I would like to do. I really liked the fact that they are small enough to be able to accommodate your doctor's appointments wherever you happen to have them.
