Our 98 year old mother moved into Ivy Park this past spring. She really enjoyed the lovely environment; her apartment, the facility and its’ grounds. The staff members were all warm, kind, caring, patient and respectful. Our mother’s condition did fail after a few months due to her underlying medical conditions. Of course, we would have wanted her to have had a lot more time there; it wasn’t meant to be. However, with the help from hospice and the wonderful care from the facility’s care managers and medication technicians, we were able to keep our mother in her apartment until she passed.

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.

Nicely appointed, cheerful community areas, large rooms, bright, woodsy setting but close to town, good amenities and activities. Staff was very nice. Did not taste the food, however.

The is was a very good community for tracks my husband I brought there while we moved in from Boston to California, and I needed to have him be in a safe place, and that certainly was the case. So now it's important for him to be able to be back home again.

We toured Sunrise of Monterey, and had a good tour experience and first impression. We chose another community because it was my loved one's preference.

Staff is friendly and caring but extremely understaffed by caregivers. My mom's apartment is frequently not cleaned with dirty clothing stacking up because of staffing issues.

After just a few days of having our loved one there we pulled her out immediately, there was no care there whatsoever. Our loved one was not bathed, put into new clothes, teeth brush or hair brushed during the few days. We got so caught up in the physical layout that we completely looked over the quality of care. They were short handed so they would hire new inexperienced staff who were very nice but had to knowledge on how to care for the elderly.

I would recommend the community to others. I feel my loved one was well taken care of at the community. This is one of the higher rated communities in the area. I felt like they had good communication, made accommodations, and took care of my concerns. The food was really good. The staff seemed to really care for the residents.

We chose Sunrise of Monterey because I liked the proximity to her old home as well as her doctors offices and when I walked in it had a very warm, homey feel to it. The room sizes are pretty good, my mom has a studio and it has a view of the park and the pine trees. Some rooms have a view of the bay as well. It has a very roomy bathroom and roomy shower. The friendliness of the staff overall was great and they were so on top of safety during the pandemic. I would recommend them to others looking.

My dear friend [name removed] died at Sunrise Senior Living in Monterey on Friday, March 2. She was 100 years old and moved into Sunrise at 99. She had all her marbles, as she would often say. I am writing to thank every staff member at Sunrise for their affection and care of [name removed]. I was there a lot with [name removed]. I was there when caregivers came and went from her room and brought her daily medications, when they took her to the dining room when they helped her with showering, and when they brought her beloved strawberry ice cream. I was there when she was failing and the nurse [name removed] did not leave her side in the dead of night and/or had other caregivers check on [name removed] every 30 minutes. [Name removed] loved it at Sunrise and told me often. ""Everyone is so nice here", she would say to me. I wish I could name all of you but there are so many good, hard working employees: [names removed], [name removed], "the drug lady", [names removed]. I am forgetting so many. If you have a loved one and you are looking at care facilities - Sunrise is your home. Thank you Sunrise for taking such good care of my dear, dear friend. I will never forget.

I looked at Sunrise for my loved one, and I thought that the community was okay. The staff was very nice and helpful, but there just didn't seem to be that many amenities here, and the food wasn't very good. It's an older community, which is fine, but the apartments were a little small, and just didn't seem as nice as we were hoping.

My father seems to be doing well here at Sunrise. He is still adjusting with the transition into the community. The community is nice and very clean. The staff has been helpful and kind to us, and is really making the transition easy and helps my father out with everything. There are activities my father has yet to partake in, but I did notice there are good ones. The food is good and he seems to enjoys it. I am still experiencing the community, and so far its good.

The Sunrise of Monterey is a nice community. The only minor issues I have is that It's expensive. I would also prefer if my mom had more access to her supplements and medications when she wants. Overall, it has been a good experience. The facility itself is very clean. The staff is very friendly and nice. The care services are good. They offer a variety of activities for the residents. The value could be better.

I had visited several Assisted Living facilities on the Peninsula and just could not imagine my Parents living there. Sunrise was the last place on my list and from the moment I stepped in I thought...........now this place is nice! Cheery, clean, upbeat people working there, nice music and plenty of events going on for those who want to join in. There was someone there to show me two available apartments. I loved how clean and brand new they felt. That very day I brought Mom and Paul over and they signed up. We have never looked back. You won't be sorry you've brought someone you care about to live there. Excellent, excellent, excellent!!!

Having a solid head administrator is a key to success. There was a short period where the head administrator was not on top of things. She was replaced very quickly and then everything was great. I highly recommend Sunrise of Monterey. If fact, I have told my wife that if I ever needed a place, Sunrise is where I would want to be.

They do a very good job. The staff is very nice, sometimes I feel like the follow through isn't always there. Some of the little details and unique attentiveness can be overlooked, they have offered things that haven't happened. The food would be a four. I think it would be nice if they had some sort of on call masseuse, that would be nice. I wish they had more help with the psychological aspect. There should be some kind of mandatory adjustment counseling to deal with the massive change and the emotional stress that comes along with this kind of move. I think they feel like they got dumped off there, and they don't really address that. None of the communities do it. It would be nice to have someone to talk to that could maybe help them deal with the adjustment, as part of the process.
