Cleanliness of the facility is a 4... but there are a lot of places under repair or with stained carpet which downgrades the look of the place a little right now. Presumably when they finish it will be a 5. The food is good. The activities are hard to rate because our mom barely does any of them, but what she does do are good. So.. 4? The value for cost is hard to rate because don't really have enough experience with alternatives. Feels like a 3 to us, but 4 might be more fair if we knew what it costs at similar or more expensive places. We definitely don't feel ripped off. It's just, still, a lot of money.

I toured this beautiful facility for my aging father. The staff was very welcoming and thorough. The amenities were wonderful and the support services are just what my father needs to continue to live somewhat independent.

Do not move to the Ivy under any circumstances!!! It has declined so much over the past nine years my parents lived there. All its services are poor and is just a money-grabbing, depressing place to live. Now it’s been taken over by a corporate giant that squeezes every drop of money out of its residents. The food and services have become so poor, and with staff turnover, no one takes any responsibility for all of the problems. If you end up needing a caregiver, they double-dip— you have to use their caregivers along with your own. It was costing upwards of $[fee removed] to take care of my mother due to the extra charges. We’ve had to pay for cleaning and laundry that never got done. My mom was bedridden for a while, and they were supposed to come in to check on her regularly, but they did not. Food would be delivered and left in the kitchen where she couldn’t reach it for hours while she waited for someone to come in and give her her meals. The staff is turning over constantly, so no one r

My room for the price is far superior to the one at my previous apartment. The health aids are very nice and helpful. When I first arrived I was lost. There was no one to welcome me. At my other place I met my ambassador the afternoon I arrived. He invited me to dinner and was there the first week to show me around and to tell me about activities etc are offered. The dining experience here is awful and the food could not be worse. The servers don’t know what they are doing and they run out of food. Some servers are rude and don’t come if you want them.

My loved one was previously a resident at Ivy Park at Laguna Woods and the overall experience was terrible. Never stay at this place. Management has zero accountability and they promise much and deliver nothing. I would not recommend Ivy Park at Laguna Woods to others.

My wife’s mother is 86 and likes her independence. She walks without a cane or walker, but there is pretty wall molding that also works as hand rails of needed and plenty of attractive padded “benches” to sit if needed. She occasionally still likes to cook and can if she wants, but ask meals are taken care of in the nice downstairs dining room. We’ve eaten there with her several times and the food is great. The head chef [name removed] is also very nice and charming. One of the best services provided is pill management. They’ve got it down. Across the board the staff is great. The food is great. Lots of activities and entertainment for mom from bingo and dominos to movies and musicians. It’s kind of like it has all the benefits of a cruise ship!

My mother has been at Ivy Park at Laguna Woods for a bit over year and it is much, much worse than we expected. If your family member is very independent it might be an ok place but still, wait times are 45 minutes average once they push their pendent. Dining service is horrible. Food taste and quality is very good (once you get it.). Very nice residents and the social aspect has been great for my mom to get out and meet others, and she is shy. Residents make her feel welcome. But the care and the help overall is just awful! When she returned from the hospital once they forgot her meds for 5 days! If she needs something urgently and pushes her necklace sometimes it will take ONE HOUR for someone to come. Med Tech help is hit or miss. If you call to ask how your mother is they have no idea what is going on. As soon as her needs escalate (bathroom help or help getting dressed) I will have to move her. [removed] has much, much better care but rooms are tiny.

My loved one is currently a resident at Ivy Park at Laguna Woods. The move in process was smooth and the people were helpful. The meals are okay, but not great. They could do a better job with providing snacks during the off hours and for evening eating after the dining room closes at seven. Sometimes the communication internally is not very good, so you really do need to advocate for your loved one here to help navigate the system, which is a little bit difficult to navigate. This facility seems way more alive and interactive than other Assisted Living places that I have visited. It is located in a central place near restaurants too, so not stuck off in an inaccessible location like some of the other facilities. I think the biggest strength is that they are trying and they are friendly and they do want to work with families and the residents have a positive sense of community. I would recommend this facility to others.

Overall when it comes to Ivy Park at Laguna Woods our family is very pleased. Our loved one seems to be settling in, however the first 2 weeks at the community were a little rough. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families looking for a place for their loved ones.

A wonderful place for my mom and dad who are both 92. My dad is blind and the price of personal care keeps escalating as his needs increase. I wish I could keep them both there for the rest of their lives, but at $7,500 a month which could soon get up to $8,300 a month due to special needs my parent's nest egg is disappearing and will soon be gone.

This place is very fancy. You drive up a hill to reach it, and there is a large sculpture in the drive-up culdesac. It feels like you are going to a classy resort. Inside, that feeling continues! The dining room was absolutely beautiful and the decor reminded me of a turn-of-the-century/Victorian setting. They have the entrees they're serving throughout the day on display outside the dining room, like at a fancy restaurant. They have set meals, but they also offer anytime dining, which I really liked because it's so flexible. Visitors can join you for a meal, but they'll have to pay $5-10. They also have a private dining room that seats 10 that you can reserve. All of the staff wear hotel-like uniforms. We didn't see any caregivers while we were there - I'm not sure if that's because they tend to cater more to independent living rather than assisted. The rooms were all very nice and quite roomy. We were shown their smallest option, and it still had a lot of space to move in! I think all of the rooms had balconies as well. Most of the rooms either have a view of the mountains, or of the beach - nice! The landscaping in their enclosed courtyard was beautiful. They had a pool and a putting green, too. We saw residents playing bingo while we were there, and it was a full house! They had a nice wall of photos/stories honoring the residents who were veterans - I'm not sure if that was just for 4th of July or if it is more of a permanent fixture. There appeared to be ample parking. I also noticed out front that they had doggie bag stands, so I wonder if they allow residents to bring their pets? Apparently there is a resident artist there. They have an art studio and one of the residents is an accomplished bronze sculptor. In fact, many of the bronze sculptures you see throughout the building are his! I thought that was really neat.

This place is unbelievable. It was a cruise without the water, a land cruise. I ate there every Sunday that our loved one was there, the food is amazing. It was the one of the only ones that could accommodate a respite stay. They were so helpful, I got the director on the phone on a Friday night, that's unheard of! I'd like to retire there myself someday. They all know me by name there. They are so friendly and helpful.

This situation really didn't end up working out for my loved one. They are very clean, and some of the staff are very nice - some are not so nice. However, my loved one ended up not getting the care they needed. They charge for everything here, and are not good at returning phone calls. The food is excellent and the area is nice, but things did not work out here.

This community was very nice and good. They were professional but they didn't have memory care and that was probably the separating point on it. Other than that everything seemed good.
