"Great Care at The Ivy"
I believe that if your family lives nearby, this place is about as good as it gets. The price wasn’t cheap, but that’s expected. I liked that The Ivy offered a military discount for my mom’s service. Staff turnover was a challenge, but they handled it well. The food wasn’t bad—I sometimes ate with my mom. To improve the overall experience, you’d need a fancier place nearby or a 24-hour home operation. We really appreciated the care and comfort Mom received there.

"Assisted Living Facility Focuses on Profits over Proper Care"
Over a thousand words wouldn't do justice to what my mom went through here. To put it simply, the way she was treated was awful and not at all what the people in charge promised. Eventually, we had to get her out quick because it felt like she might not live much longer if we left her there. We got tricked by the activities manager and the head honcho. The workers tried their best, but having one person taking care of 2 floors is risky and not okay. The Ivy seems more interested in making money than looking after the people living there. I truly believe if The Ivy had kept their promise to look after my mom, she'd still be here with me. I guess The Ivy's alright for folks who don’t have any memory troubles like dementia, Alzheimer's, or anyone who can fully take care of themselves. But if you have a family member who's not right in the head, don't pick The Ivy. Like the saying goes, buyer beware!

"Warm Atmosphere and Good Value at The Ivy Community"
The Ivy community feels warm and inviting. The place is nice and doesn’t have any bad smells. The food is okay and usually comes on time. Everyone we’ve worked with has been friendly, and we think it’s a good value for the price.

"Mixed Experience at Assisted Living Facility"
The community is nice, but they've had turnover in nursing staff. I'm unsure if this is common in the industry or just here. They're friendly and the price is average among similar places. However, care services have been.
