Ivy Park offers fulfilling and flexible senior living with a range of services for every phase of retirement, including comprehensive assisted living and memory care.
Welcome to Ivy Park at Monterey, a senior living community located in the enchanting coastal city of Monterey.
If I could give this memory care facility 0 stars, I would. Don’t get me wrong, it is a very nice assisted living place with nice apartments and common areas. However, the memory care facility deserves 0 stars. My father who suffers from Alzheimer’s entered the facility in early November. The staff at the memory care unit failed to give him his medications for 24 hours. After being without his meds, he had a psych episode and was taken to the hospital where he spent 3 weeks recovering from this experience. He is currently well taken care of in a residential care facility. The Ivy Park memory care unit is understaffed and lacks experienced caregivers. It recently changed ownership (July 2023) and the care is not on par with other facilities. Do your due diligence if you are considering Ivy Park for your loved ones suffering from dementia and don’t be dazzled by nice facilities and good food. What patients with dementia need most is good experienced staff and Ivy Park doesn’t have it.
A good place to hang around
I thought I found a wonderful place for my loved one with reasonable charges for her care. Within a year those charges doubled and I was forced to move her to a new facility. I suggest if you are considering this facility you do your due diligence about their pricing structure and what they will up charge you for beyond the monthly charge. Ever heard the term being bled dry? That’s how we felt. Sad.
My uncle lives at Sunrise of Monterey and he loves it there! The environment really feels like home to him, and the staff are amazing. They really have it together when it comes to his care needs, and they go out of their way to keep me updated both about my uncle and about the community as a whole. One other thing that sets them apart is that they actually deliver on the promise to have regular excursions and activities. The initial paperwork and move in process was very easy and they again went out of their way to take care of everything. It demonstrated right from the start that they are organized and professional, and that professionalism continues daily. I have a lot of confidence and peace of mind with the staff at Sunrise, and they are great option for anyone considering assisted living in the Monterey area.
As a member of this community I am familiar with many assisted living facilities and Sunrise of Monterey is one I highly recommend to family and friends. The staff are remarkable and they go above and beyond to make residents feels at home, you can rely on the nursing team along side their patient coordinators to be very involved and care for you’re loved ones!
