With Personal experience, I can say with certainty that this facility is sorely lacking. The staff…read moreis friendly but overworked. Some residents get excellent care while others are all but ignored. The administration is inexperienced and lacks management skills. The food is awful with some of the worst tasting and poorly prepared food I've ever tasted. No attention is paid to balanced meals or special needs diets. Laundry service is an absolute joke. If someone can be found to wash clothes or bedding, it may take 24 hours or more to have it returned. The longer it takes to be returned the more likely it will be lost. Clothing will quickly deteriorate because no attention is paid to separating colored from whites and high heat is used to dry everything. On the bright side, the campus is beautiful, cleaning is skillfully handled, and there is an engaged activities director. Residents are friendly and easy to get to know.

The food is good, the atmosphere is relaxed and positive, and the staff is very helpful and kind. The old owners did their best but the new owners are so much better! Kay has helped me solve some difficult problems with his case that have come up recently. I appreciate the new owners and can see a huge difference in the care.

The staff is kind, caring, compassionate and professional, from Jordan our wonderful case manager and Janet who communicated well and kind enough to order all the necessary equipment needed upon my husband's release. We loved all the wonderful caring nurses, to name a few Josie, Maria, both Isabella's, Nathen, Gordon , Gabie, the friendly PT staff, and all the other kind hardworking staff, house cleaning, kitchen, lundry staff .

The food is like a gourmet restaurant. And the wait staff are excellent. They are patient and remember everyone's favorite order. There are other nice assisted living facilities in this area, but the people at Ivy Park Monterey make the difference. The manager Kellie is running a top-notch operation. Carina and the care staff are always present and anticipating what my mother needs. And they are so kind. Jenny plans the most awesome activities and celebrations. Birthdays and holidays are always special! Maria and Josh in the medical office are super professional and on it. Kathie at the front desk may be the nicest most helpful person I have ever met. She personifies the tone of the facility - happy, helpful and caring. I couldn't give the home a higher recommendation. It is an excellent place to live.

He and I walked into Carmelo Park and immediately knew that it would be a wonderful place for my mother. We had initially visited Songbird, their Salinas location, because we know two other families who have loved ones residing there, but felt that Carmelo Park was a better fit for mom. It has been nearly two years since she moved in and she has adjusted well. Sadly, I can tell you that there are other, larger, facilities on the Monterey Peninsula where staff members do not even know the names or medical conditions of the residents they serve. That is not the case with Carmelo Park. The staff treat my mom like family because it is run by a family, not a large corporation. From the activities, parties, snacks, and music, to the loving care she receives, we couldn't have asked for more regarding mom's care. I can wholeheartedly recommend Carmelo Park and feel that their caring staff and administrators have been a blessing in all our lives. Thank you Matt, Karie, Jennifer, and all the wonderful staff members who do such a wonderful job, you are very much appreciated!

She is extremely caring, reliable, and trustworthy. Currently my 94 year old grandmother is receiving care from a large home care organization. If my grandmother lived closer we would definitely be using Sabrina for my grandma's care. Sabrina sets the bar very high and there is no one I would trust more with any of our family members. S & J, as a private care provider, goes above and beyond what large home care providers offer in terms of services, care giver qualifications, and better pricing. Hiring Sabrina and her team is the way to go for peace of mind and genuine care for your family.
