As a Senior Real Estate Specialist, I have a keen eye for not only how a community should look, but more importantly, how it should make you feel. From the lighting and design to the people and overall energy, every detail matters. Having visited many senior communities over the years, I can honestly say THE IVY stands apart. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt a genuine warmth and sense of belonging. The soaring ceilings, open spaces, beautifully designed activity rooms, and welcoming atmosphere immediately caught my attention. But what truly makes THE IVY special are the people. The residents and staff are kind, creative, passionate, and culturally engaged. There is an authenticity here that feels very much reflective of the Berkeley spirit. At the end of the day, they’re simply good humans, and that is what transforms a beautiful property into a true community. - Debbi DiMaggio

The best decision I have made in my many years of life was choosing the Ivy to be my new home. I lived at a nearby facility that continuously let me down, eventually I decided it was time for a new change. From day one the team at The Ivy has gone above and beyond to welcome me in to my home. They go above and beyond in providing an exceptional experience. The food is amazing here, the activities recently underwent a change but has been for the better as there is tons to do but actually happening which was an issue at my last facility. I am a Berkeley local and native and this feels like home. This feels like Berkeley.

Sandy, Rachel, Hector, Fallon, Sonia have been so kind and welcoming to mom and our family. A special shout out to JoJo for his homemade lumpia (masarap! 😋) and taking time to introduce himself to all of us in his dining room. Mom truly appreciates the caring attention from everyone at The Ivy. Thank you 🙏

We’ve been so happy with the care our mom is receiving at The Ivy and are especially appreciative of Christina. She is communicative, attentive, caring and knowledgeable. The entire staff takes great pride in their work and show loving care to all residents. We feel lucky to have found the wonderful community at The Ivy.

My mother joined this community as one of their first Memory Care residents, after living for a year in a different facility. The care and living-environment she has found at the Ivy is truly wonderful. They make it easy to feel welcome, and their garden patio has been a perfect place for visits. Huge thanks to Christina and her team!
