I've been in the senior living industry for over 10 years and quick hospital move-ins can be tough. The team at Ivy Golden Gate went above and beyond for my client, treating them like family. Suzanne, the sales director, even went to their home to help pack and transfer medications - a level of service you don't always come accross. It's always a pleasure working with a community I can count on.

Update: Visited over the weekend and Quin helped out with directions navigating the doc and was very kind especially for being new and really appreciated it. Stop by to visit our aunt who's been there for quite a few years. I must say the coffee served tasted delicious. Everyone who worked there was really nice, empathetic and helpful this makes us feel better our aunt is in good hands for the money she spends every month.
