PLEASE READ THE EDIT BELOW. So far, I'm not very happy with this assisted living. My grandma moved…read morein on Tuesday to an apartment with no cable TV, despite having the TV ready to go the weekend before her move in. I've visited or called every day to see if they've gotten her cable setup and they appear to be dragging their feet. There is a huge lack of communication between management, maintenance, and front desk staff that delays tasks and doesn't communicate progress with residents or their families. The other day a front desk staff members started clipping her nails while answering my questions with vague answers and "I'll leave a note" for staff who seems to always leave before the end of the day. I can't seem to get straight answers from anyone and I rarely get calls or texts back when I'm promised any. Overall, I'm frustrated with the move in and hope to see some changes in this facility soon. I'll be looking at alternative options if things don't change soon. EDIT: Katy from CSL gave me a call and we had a great chat about some of the frustrations I had regarding the delayed cable installation and communication issues. She also was able to clarify some of my questions and ease my biggest concerns/worries. She is such a sweet and caring woman, and I'm glad we were able to talk. I am very hopeful that things will go more smoothly now that some of the initial move-in bumps have been handled.

In June 2024, I contacted Ivy Park in San Juan Capistrano. I did this for a friend who is…read moreinterested in moving to an assisted-living facility. She likes San Juan Capistrano because it is smaller and less crazy than San Diego, where she has been living for over a year. The room rental price quoted at Ivy Park was within her budget and the facility was very nice, along with excellent food. My friend is a survivor of the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, and she has some mental- health issues (severe anxiety, etc.) because of that horrible experience. While touring Ivy Park, she met with the director for about 45 minutes and was upfront about her fire survivor experience and her mental health issues. Both the director and the sales person told her that they could help her and wanted my friend to move in ASAP. The sales person even e-mailed a video of the available room. The sales person drove over 200 miles (roundtrip) from Orange County to San Diego to go over forms and to collect a $2,000 deposit check. (The sales person also informed my friend that $4,000 would further be required before moving in.) At the end of the meeting, this sales person stood up and said, "You need to get out of here! If you don't, you could end up in a psychiatric hospital!" About two weeks before, Ivy Park told my friend that an "assessment" had to be done. They sent someone over from a local Ivy Park facility. Again, my friend was upfront about the fire and what she needed. The assessment person told her that they do not provide that kind of support. (This totally contradicted what the director and sales person had said.) The following week another "assessment" was required via telephone. While on this call my friend received another call from the director. He told her that he had changed his mind after reading her Kaiser medical files and since Kaiser could not help her, then they also could not. (We let Ivy Park access my friend's medical files because a TB test was required. I figured it might help and speed up the process if Kaiser sent a recent chest x-ray to the director. While requesting the x-ray, we also thought it might be a good idea--as a courtesy--to let the director also see her medical files. Her files and medical information, though, were used against her to reject her. What perplexes us, also, is the question: Why didn't the director request to see her medical files in the first place? This could have saved us all a lot of wasted travel time, aggravation, etc.) In summary, I am quite upset and angry that both the director and sales person promised to help my friend and let her move in. From the very beginning, my friend was upfront, truthful, and honest about what she is going through and her issues. She did not hold back any information and was looking forward very much to move in and be an Ivy Park resident. This only goes to show that these individuals will say and do anything to try and win a sale, regardless of what a potential resident's needs really are. The only positive thing I can add is Ivy Park did return my friend's $2,000 deposit, after numerous phone calls and text messages.
