Would not recommend at the moment until improvements have been addressed

Have negative things about the food service. Nice and spacious, clean, parking. Food service still not good. Just spoke to a resident yesterday who said the Luau food was not good and what’s written is not what they get for their meal. That said I cannot refer others to the Ivy. It’s say because the Ivy’s location and facilities are beautiful but the food services is the downfall!

Senior Well-being

My husband (with dementia,) find the Ivy safe with emergency drills at the last tsunami warning 10 days ago, cleanliness in all areas kept up well, has many daily activities to choose from, dining a pleasure (but of course some do not care for what is served, dining service very good, transportation available on schedule for outings and medical appointments, and every member of the staff most friendly and nice which helps residents feel relatively happy to be here.

Disappointed After Just 3 Days

If a family member is looking for independent living for their loved one than I give it a 5. If the family member has any type of dementia or cognitive impairments, and they want to put them in Independent living and they tell you they have someone who watches them, take to meals, etc. I would tell them to find another place that is an assisted living. If I had to rate it, I would give it a 2. And make sure that the facility will take their insurance, If they don't and something happens to their loved one the doctor on staff will not treat them.

enjoy life. The Lord will decide when He will take you home

1 thru 5 all 5 excellent. 6 food is improving but sometimes less than what I am use too. 7 excellent. Just choose what you want. Many choices. 8. Cost? For the amenities, I believe it is best on the island. I use private funds for my studio. At 84, I am satisfied until the Lord calls me home. Visit and become part of our ohanna. I am a retired deacon. Ivy has a chapel. While we may not be bible thumpers, we do comfort each other

Highly recommend IVY as independent living community with available caregivers

Availabilty of [name removed] excellent nursing/caregiving staff was a huge plus (single most important reason I would return to IVY. [name removed] was especially outstanding. Food improved during my stay. But still far too little Asian foods/seasonings considering the sizeable Asian population) (some of table servers were quite good and friendly; but a number of the younger servers were unfriendly or even rude, appearing as if they resented being there. Was fairly costly but fully worth it for my short-term stay while recuperating from serious surgery. Grateful for IVY and [name removed] caregiving service. I've highly recommended to others!

Great Facility

It’s been about a month or so that my son and I brought his father to The Ivy to live and it’s been a very nice experience so far! Nice and pleasant surroundings and friendly Staff. Job well done and will recommend to others.

Very Disappointed

All seemed good going in, then my loved one passed away on his expected move in date. The Ivy tried to discount the refund to me by more than 80%. It took months and several visits to finally receive my money. I entered into correspondence with their parent company to finally get resolution.

The Ivy is a nice facility situated in a beautiful setting. We did not participate in what looks to be good activities or eat in the nice restaurant. The staff we encountered always seemed cheerful and attentive.

The Ivy at Hawaii Kai review

When it comes to the meals, stop trying to impress with fancy names, just cut the salt/spice & serve good tasty food. The value for cost is ok for me but high for others. Economy sucks but what to do???? I would recommend this community to others, but it depends on tastes and or needs

Overall great place with great caring friendly staff

They need to improve their billing system. Many times the statements dont match what was actually electronically withdrawn and you can't figure it out by just analyzing the statement...had to call them about the bill many times. It is a nice, uncongested place. Initially, we thought this place catered more to independent living, but after experiencing their assisted living, their assisted living is good too.

We selected a "cottage." It is spacious and comfortable. Pets are welcome. The food is very tasty and many selections are offered. The landscaping is also lovely.

Disappointed

The Ivy is a beautiful place, clean. But I didn't feel it was safe for my friend. They are a fall risk and with the physician not treating her when she fell and refuse treatment, that was alarming because of her insurance. The facility should known that. If someone looking to place their family member in the facility, make sure that the administrator staff let's the potential client that the physician on staff, will not treat their love ones if they have Kaiser insurance. And if their loved ones need assistant living, just don't offer independent living just because assistant living is not available. There are safety issues, and escorts are not always available, and there is cost for escorts to and from meals, exercises, etc.

My New Senior Living Home

I moved into the Ivy Senior Living on [date removed]. I had just been released from the hospital and was a little skepticle about leaving my house of 50+ years. But after seeing the monthly costs decline (electricity, water, food, no maid services, no grass/maintenance), I became spoiled. Ivy provides 3 meals a day, weekly maid service, and vans which can scheduled for DRs, Dentists, shopping (for things you don’t really need but want). There are 30+ events that you can attend (or not, your choice). Field trips to several beaches , Waikiki , restaurants, and more . For some of us that realize that we may have only 15 or 20 years left, we can attend the chapel to attend a sermon or weekly Bible study. I attend as a resident and an occasional old deacon comment. The Ivy is not the home that I raised my children but is now my Ohana. My adult children and old church friends are all welcome to attend. There are still so many things and new friends to enjoy here at the Ivy.
