A true home away from home! From the moment you walk into The Ivy, you are enveloped in a feeling of warmth and genuine care. It’s a testament to their staff, who are not merely employees but compassionate and efficient aides and administrators who go above and beyond. The level of cleanliness and house-keeping are impeccable, with a beautifully maintained facility that always feels fresh, bright, and truly homey. The culinary experience is a daily highlight, with a varied menu of delicious, chef-prepared meals served in a lovely restaurant-style setting. The kitchen staff accommodates diverse dietary needs, ensuring every resident is satisfied and well-nourished. The almost round-the-clock nursing assistance is most helpful. It imbibes a sense of dependable health-care and safety, from helping with medication and first-aid to contacting, following up, and arranging for both routine and emergency medical services. Beyond the outstanding care, the vibrant social calendar is a key feature of life at The Ivy. The activities team consistently plans engaging and interesting items that activate both mind and body, from exercise sessions to crafts, intellectual interaction, social get-togethers, and resident-run events. The thoughtful outings offer a welcome change of scenery, keeping life exciting and residents connected to the wider community. What truly sets The Ivy apart, however, is the wonderful community of residents. Their extreme friendliness and helpfulness make newcomers feel instantly welcome. The Ivy isn't just a place to live; it's a place to thrive, to make friends, and to feel part of a big, happy family. For anyone seeking a caring and fulfilling home for a loved one, The Ivy is, without a doubt, the top choice. ~Resident, with my wife, since Dec 2020

My Mom was one of the first residents to move into the Ivy when they opened 7 years ago. From day one we were so pleased with the beautiful building and all the decor and furniture that made it so homey. The attention to detail from the staff is incredible they truly treat everyone like their own family. And we consider them as ours.. From impromptu activities to planned events, there is always something going on to keep the residents engaged and active. Our family is so very blessed to have found this special place for Mom
