I cannot say enough good things about Ivy Park at Oakland Hills. Yolanda Harrell has created a culture of caring staff who make residents feel at home whether they are mostly independent or if they need a greater level of support. The apartments, common areas, gardens and view are gorgeous, and every staff member goes above and beyond to be friendly and welcoming and make sure each resident feels safe and included. Every day there are continuous activities that keep residents engaged, active and connected to the community. My parents had no interest in living in an assisted living facility, even though their home wasn’t fit for aging in place. As soon as they visited Ivy Park and met Yolanda, they kept coming back and chose to add their names to the waitlist. They both keep telling me what a good decision it was and how they feel at home now, which is frankly a miracle to hear, and true. There is memory care in the same small facility, if needed, so couples don’t need to live in separate locations. As a caregiver, it gives me tremendous relief to know they are in a community that genuinely cares for them and wants them to thrive. The staff have supported me as well as my parents during this tremendous transition. I would recommending Ivy Park at Oakland Hills to anyone making this important decision.
