Helpful things to know

My only comment is that if a senior needs a lot of assistance this is not the place to be. We are having to pay for outside additional caregivers to come in because he needs more help. He is in the assisted-living side, but he needs more one on one help that they don't provide. The parking for visitors is also horrible, which is a big problem for visiting.

Review for The Ivy at Wellington

We have a nice apartment but with old appliances. Wash machine is ruining our clothes. Have complained but to no avail. We weren't told the truth on our tours. The food is wonderful. Surprised of having very little service in helping us. Even have to call emergency ourselves. Like the residents.

Overall pleased and some things to be aware of.

After we moved my Mom here just over a year ago, I can accurately contribute some pros and cons about the Ivy Wellington. Pros: reasonably priced rates and move in fees, great location, extremely friendly staff, decent food, updated furniture and decor, shuttle transportation within 10 miles, apartment cleaning and utilities included, nice amenities @salon, pool, game room, movie time, upscale, friendly, retired professionals to socialize with, a good percentage of people from similar heritage background to relate to. Cons: the bathroom vanities don't have any drawers and are too small, the closets are small and the doors are cheap, finding parking is a challenge 50% of the time, the hallway baseboards can be dusty, the elevator near her unit was out for an extended period of time, there's not enough activities on the weekends and Mom is lonely then, they don't offer a la carte assistance living @ medication management. All in all we've been happy with the choice and was a good option compared to the other senior living places in Orange County. There's always some updated maintenance being performed which shows that they care about their facility.

Would recommend

They really enjoy the food and the dining experience. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families, but not for seniors that need a lot of care though. Better for those who still function on their own. We may need to find a facility that provides more 24 care.

Search for a place for next stage of my life

The staff are very helpful at The Ivy at Wellington, especially the dining room staff. The food is good. I would recommend this facility to family and friends. I have not been here long enough to experience most of the activities, so I can't rate them yet.

Food is great! Community is great!

My parents have been living at the Wellington for five month. My mom was tired of cooking at home and did not want the responsibility of taking care of their home. We moved them in, and the food has been great. I have personally eaten over 25 meals there. Another thing I love about the Wellington is the community. There are some very nice residents. They all seem to really care about each other. I have had several conversations with the management, and I have been very pleased to be heard and respected.

Wellington food needs improvement

The Wellington has turned out to be a great place for my parents except one big problem: the food is not very good. They have a few items that are ok but for the most part is is over cooked and pretty mediocre My mom was a gourmet cook so she hates the food and so does my dad. The menu sounds amazing but the chef is not good. The chicken is dry, the meat is over cooked. Tasteless. Basically hospital food quality. Other than that, the staff is friendly and caring. Nice apartments but expensive in light of food issue

So far it's going okay.

So far it's going okay. They are responsive and friendly. They handle the place very well, but they did have a setback with the boiler. That is the only reason I wouldn't give a five, everything else deserves a five.

It's very clean, and the staff is friendly.

It's very clean, and the staff is friendly. They are not really up on the issues of service animals, and what all the rules are. It can take a long time for someone to respond to a call button. It's taking a long time to get things done, there are some miscommunications from time to time. She is starting to get involved in things, but we are waiting still for her motorized wheelchair so that she can get around without help. They could be a little more organized, and systematic. The food is very good, and the waitstaff is very good.

A Place for Mom helped my parents find their new home

I contacted A Place for Mom to locate a new living situation for my parents. The consultant I worked with was familiar with the geographic area, listened to our needs and gave us referrals that were right on target. After visiting various properties, we choose the Wellington in Laguna Hills. My parents just moved in, and are very happy with their new home. This service saved us a lot of time and effort, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for senior living options.

Feels like a fancy hotel

Down the road from Leisure World, and across the street from another retirement community. Very, very fancy and absolutely beautiful lobby with a large atrium and rainforest-like display. Feels more like a hotel. Lots of parking for residents. One feature I liked about the rooms is they all had a little window that jutted out from the building so it could be a great little ledge for plants or other kitchen knickknacks.
