Really happy with the care and atmosphere at Ivy Park. The staff are friendly, compassionate, and genuinely care about the residents. There’s a strong sense of teamwork, and everyone works hard to make sure residents feel comfortable, respected, and well cared for. It’s a great place for residents and their families.

From the moment our family walked in, we knew this was a special place. The staff treat residents like family, not like a checklist, and somehow still manage to remember everyone’s favorite snack, preferred TV channel, and exactly how they take their coffee.<br>The care has been wonderful: compassionate, attentive, and respectful. It gives our family real peace of mind knowing that our loved one is safe, supported, and surrounded by people who genuinely care.<br>There is also a surprising amount of laughter here. Between the activities, conversations, and staff members with a great sense of humor, it feels less like an institution and more like a community with really good supervision and an impressive calendar.<br>We are deeply grateful for the kindness, patience, and humanity everyone shows every day. Five stars without hesitation, plus an extra star if Google would let us give one for the snack cart.

Following a change of management, this place is turning into a wonderful skilled nursing facility! The staff are incredibly responsive, compassionate, and communicative. The manager specifically puts good effort into interactions with the residents, making this place rather welcoming. I feel like they've been very transparent with me and my family, and I really appreciate that. I’ve seen the admin make beds, the directors take out trash, and the nursing aides buy gift cards for the residents’ birthdays. It’s a place where the whole team genuinely cares and goes above and beyond for their patients. No job is too small for anyone on the team. I highly recommend this place!<br><br>From what I see from the reviews on this page, most of the poor ones were regarding the previous management, which doesn't reflect whatsoever the current conditions of Ivy Park.
