Ivy Hall Assisted Living was on the small side, and it was really about half empty. The staff told me there were only three or four men there, so I don't think it gonna be an appropriate place for my dad. They showed me a room, and it was nice. There was nothing wrong with the room. I only met one person, and she has only been there a year. She was kinda blah to be honest. The manager of the place was not there that day, so I did not meet her. I saw a bunch of residents sitting around watching TV in the lobby. There was no exercise room. They had a physical therapist, and there was a small physical therapy type room. I did not see anybody interacting with any residents. The facility was OK. They had a flat rate per room depending on the size of the room and everything. If the care needs increased, the price level did not go up. I saw bingo going on.

Patricia, I'm the Executive Director at Ivy Hall and I'm sorry I did not get the chance to meet you when you visited. Many of our residents enjoy sitting in our lobby visiting and watching classic TV daily. We offer a full and varied activity program as noted by the residents playing BINGO in the activity room, and the numerous other options on the activity calendar daily. Our community does offer in house physical, occupational, and speech therapies. The therapists work throughout the community as well as in the therapy room. In my twenty years of working in senior living the women have always out numbered the men. One statistic I recently read noted a 7 to 1 female to male ratio. If you'd consider coming back for a tour, I'd welcome the opportunity to meet you and to show you all that Ivy Hall has to offer.
