Our families experience

It's a beautiful facility for someone looking for a smaller confined facility. It worked for my sister while she healed and got stronger. It did not provide enough activities or stimulation for her long term needs.

I would not recommend Ivy Park.

dad's room was near a storage closet for used diapers. the intake staff was wonderful, but I had particular difficulty with one of the aids and had to file a complaint twice. they have great advertising and if they actually cared for their residence the way they advertise it would be great. There is a big disconnect between what they say and actually do. . There administrative staff talks out of both sides of their mouth. It is all about the profit and they don't seem to be aware of what is actually going on. I signed my dad up for activities and they never materialized. it is all about the profit. They don't live up to their claims and they are very expensive. I found much better care for my dad at Care home for much less. When I moved my dad from Ivy Park, he had been on hospice, not end-of-life hospice. So there was a hospice package left for him. Strangely enough, the morphine was missing from the package when he was transferred my dad was never given morphine for anything they had no explanation for it. It's a beautiful facility, but there are too many issues with the administration of care. It is unfortunate

Review for Ivy Park at Bonita

She is adjusting well was very difficult at first. I love that. It is a smaller place. It is more one on one so far so good. It's close to where I live, which is nice. They have lots of activities and invite Family to everything that they have. They also keep you posted on how she is doing. You can call anytime And check on her.

Smaller, Peaceful Community

The staff at Ivy Park is kind and caring. The number of residents in assisted living is around 40 so a smaller community. This comes with the advantage of knowing most residents but also means there may be less activities and potential connections with other residents than other facilities. My mom's room was recently remodeled so is very clean and updated.

Very welcoming from admin staff to frontline staff. It has been an overall good experience with my difficult father in law. Everyone has taken time to answer our questions and help us to navigate this complex and difficult time.

Moved my senior neighbor into Ivy Park

My senior neighbor needed to move into assisted living. Living on her own wasn’t going to be feasible anymore. I contacted A Place for Mom, and they recommended places for me. I toured several of the places and with the help of the sales team at Ivy Park at Bonita, decided to move her there. They were very helpful and made the whole process very easy for me, including coming to her house for all of the assessments necessary, and sending movers. The staff has been very helpful with her move and getting her settled. It’s been a big adjustment for all of us, and it feels like it all happened quite quickly. I truly didn’t have time to process it all happening, but maybe that’s the way it was supposed to be.

Ivy Park at Bonita was picked by[names removed] who flew in from Germany to select a place. He toured many places he found in the internet and selected this one. He was impressed with how happy and well cared for the residents were.

Overprice Understaffed and Lack of Communication

My father stayed here for 14 months and the staff misclassified his level of care in order to charge a higher monthly fee in the memory care unit. When we informed them that he was moving the reviewed his level of care and determined that he was misclassified and offered a lower monthly fee if he stayed. A new management company took over the facility last year and there were staff cuts and no one follows up on emails or returns phone calls. Would not recommend this facility.

Most of the activities didn't happen. We chose it because it was smaller and everyone watches out for the residents.

Review for Ivy Park at Bonita

I'd say it was expensive for what you get. I was told they would have one to one nursing care since it was required and I was required to pay a lot more for it and they never received one to one care. My aunt would have to call be at three in the morning to get. Me to call the facility just to get help to the bathroom as no one came when she would call on several occasions. Administration doesn't want to speak with you especially if you're there in person, once the have all the papers signed. The only people we were happy with were the people you actually did the care during the day.

dad is happy, the perfect fit, excellent experience

Love this place! It is perfect for our dad! The staff really like each other, the guests and seem to really care. Always open to recommendations. My dad is safe, clean, well dressed and has told us when he is "older he would like to come back". The food is good([name removed] runs a good kitchen). Dad has participated in chair yoga, cutting flowers for the tables and has made friends

Pet friendly is good. I would highly recommend

Facility is extremely pet friendly which is not common but was our number one requirement. We r very pleased with that. There are always concerns and bumps in the road as someone moves to a new situation. Ivy Park is very good about addressing concerns and has tried very hard to help my sister adjust. Price seems very high but seems to be in line with other facilities. After 2 months the situation is running smooth. Food is complicated especially in memory care. Entrée choices are not given like in assisted living. If you don't want the one entrée you can have a sandwich. Maybe some more choices would help. Our family feels very good about our family members safety at Ivy Park.

Recommended

The staff at Ivy Park at Bonita are ALL friendly and try to help, even if it's outside of their job description (e.g., helping to enter the secured Memory Care even though they are kitchen or housekeeping staff). They remember names and are welcoming. The staff try to find answers to your questions if they don't have them. The housekeepers seem to be cleaning all the time. The move-in process was made easy by the maintenance people and the care givers. The meals are good and Mom eats them more than she did in our home. We have recommended Ivy Park at Bonita and I will in the future.

What a wonderful place for your love ones!

I work for Hospice and frequently visit this facility. Let me be the one to tell you how wonderful the staff and facility here are. They always strive to provide top-quality service and care to every resident and their family. Everyone I see always has a smile on their face and shows so much compassion. I highly recommend, Sunrise of Bonita.

Cozy and friendly

Sunrise at Bonita is a wonderful place! We are very Thankful for their service. Employees have good stability, most of them have been there for years and that is important to us! We chose this community because it's smaller. My mother in law has made friends and feels very comfortable with all the staff. They offer activities such as; Games, exercise classes and happy hour on Friday's. I would recommend to other families.

Great Care Givers

At Sunrise Bonita they cared for my aunt and uncle like they were family and always kept us updated on their care. Sunrise Bonita is as clean a facility as we could hope for. Heads above the rest! Every staff member we came into contact with was very friendly. Very kind and compassionate people. My Aunt and Uncle received the best care - just as we hoped they would. The care givers that were with them everyday were exceptional- but if your family can't speak for themselves you really have to be an advocate for them regarding PRN meds vs scheduled meds and be sure to ask for scheduling of pain meds in particular. My Aunt and Uncle both enjoyed the meals they received and my aunt was able to eat with my uncle as he was in the Memory unit and she in assisted living side. That made them happy. There was several activities each day that they had the opportunity to join in with. One day I went to visit and my uncle was singing Karaoke, I had never heard him sing before. That was fun to see him get involved. Considering this facility is in California, I had to get used to the idea that everything cost more here. So I did comparison shopping and found it was online with other local facilities and had a wonderful reputation from the local hospitals, and medical professionals I spoke with. The other residents appeared happy as well. So as much as I thought the cost was high, the value of the care my family received was worth it. There was a young women that came in on the weekends to play games and they really like that.

Sunrise of Bonita was HORRIBLE. They had one room available, which was run down & dirty, besides being tiny. It has one tiny windows that looked out over a private property that was basically a junkyard. Their prices are astronomical!

Beautiful Faciltiy

I would advise that when doing the intake process, you should get into details about what expectations you have. If there is specific equipment/special needs, specify what that equipment is.
