My mother has been living here for a few years and over the years the quality of service from the…read morestaff has decreased. The mgr Stephanie never seems to be available for a call or in person meeting and upon our visits she's never present in the office. There have been occasions where Ive stopped by to speak with her and while told she was on a call she was seen leaving out of her door & exiting the property. I'm almost certain there's no hope in getting things resolved and we don't plan to renew! I see some residents in the reviews who constantly nag and keep tabs on staff as if they are their nurse or sitter however we try our best to stay out of the way unless a case of an emergency or a question relating to our ledger, work order, or any other property matter unrelated to snacks and drinks! So it saddens me that when we are reaching out about more important matters we are unable to reach the manager and feel she doesn't not want to engage. I believe the constant turnover in front desk staff shouldn't only speak to the employee in itself but also to the management team leading them and setting the tone for a welcoming and productive work environment Lastly ( whether we stay or not ) we've seen a few people come and go in this desk upfront but I really hope the new leasing consultant Darian is here to stay! She has been very helpful and supportive when we call and she has an attentiveness like we haven't seen from office staff in a while when we visit. I hope that these residents in the reviews don't run her off by simply treating her as if she's their sitter and not their front office staff.

I am a registered nurse, and my standards are high. We have been very pleased with all of the staff, the caregivers and the leadership--as well as the activities and the meals. My mom loves being able to choose her meals (with help) from a menu. Everyone has been caring and have gone out of their way to be helpful to my mom. My mom has had several medical issues recently that required hospitalization. Both times the staff recognized my mom needed medical attention and acted on her needs appropriately. Not only that, they sent her a get well card with personal notes from the staff, and several of them have called to check and see how she's doing. I cannot tell you the peace of mind I have knowing that my mom is safe, well cared for and ENJOYING her life at Silvergate. We visit frequently (almost daily) and have never encountered anyone that wasn't kind or helpful. The staff always make you feel as if you and your loved one are important. Silvergate has also incorporated several family activities into their activity calendar (summer dinner on the patio with family) etc. Highly recommended Silvergate if you're looking for kind, compassionate and active memory where your loved one can enjoy their moments and activities. The facility and surroundings are modern and beautiful.

I was recently with a friend whose husband is living in the Memory Care part of Silvergate and…read morevisited with him while he had lunch. Although the facility is VERY nice, I was really surprised to see he was given a plate with several different types of foods mixed together. He kept asking what this was and what that was, and then he refused to eat. What really surprised me was that this is a facility that caters to older people. Gee, doesn't everyone know that children and very elderly people don't like their foods all mixed together? People like to identify what they're eating and the person who has dementia can't remember what all the foods are (and that they're safe to eat) if you can't identify them. It's just too confusing and it's one more bump in the road they don't deserve!

Richard, Elizabeth, and Lisa have helped with home health care obstacles to assure my mom gets services she needs and is eligible for. The move in process was surprisingly simple. Most important, my mom loves her beautiful room with its access to the gorgeous patio. The owners act on requests promptly, like when I asked that they remove a small sofa so I could bring in my mom's vanity table. Days after moving in, my mom turned 95. I was able to do a masked and distanced short visit on the patio with a cake and some gifts; the staff put up banners and brought her flowers out to the patio to decorate. They even did her makeup for her. The staff is thoughtful, warm, and friendly, and seem to truly love what they do. My mom says they are so nice and the residents are easy to get along with. She loves the food, too. I saw photos and the video tour of the home prior to visiting but they do not do justice to how clean, bright, and lovely it is. Tastefully decorated and comfy, plus residents can furnish and decorate their room. I am fiercely protective of my mom and her safety, well-being, and happiness. I absolutely made the right choice with Mount Carmel Assisted Living.

The care my parents required went from minimal to total care and they handled each phase seamlessly. The administrative staff are wonderful and caring and put my family at ease with every phase. The residential community is so warm and welcoming. When my father passed they reached out to my mother, stopping by, visiting, inviting her to eat with them, to attend activities with them, etc. They were so warm and welcoming to all of her visitors. We have come to know they by name. The restaurant is amazing! The food is wonderful and the atmosphere of the restaurant is welcoming. The service staff were so wonderful in accommodating my parent's needs as they declined. The activities at the facility are top notch and the family celebrations are amazing. My parents loved the parties especially. The common areas are always decorated for the next festivity. The activity staff work so well in accommodating all levels of participation. The facility itself is beautiful. The owner, Bill and his wife are there frequently and their aging parents have lived there as well. They have added personal touches to the furnishings which make it feel so much like home. They know all the residents and much of the family by name. We are so grateful for their loving care of our parents. We were truly blessed to have found such a hidden gem.

She is paying a lot for her studio apartment there and an additional $800 for her assisted care. They recently gave her an invoice that her $800 charge was increased to $1300. They don't even help her now!!!! They refuse to put her arthritis cream on her shoulders but a give her a full shower??? I'm so mad and sad for her. No one who works there seems to care at all. My grandma pressed her life alert at 9:20 one night, no one arrives until almost 11pm because the one person on staff just WENT HOME EARLY BECAUSE SHE WAS TIRED??? No other staff to help with residents and my grandma just had her necklace beeping for over an hour. When someone finally showed up for her to changed her bra and underwear if was some 19 year old man she didn't know. She'd told the staff she was only comfortable with a woman doing that. She's paying so much. This is cruel. I'm on the verge of seeking out a lawyer. This is bordering on elder abuse. Care has been absolutely horrible, especially for the charge and now this increase. I won't let it happen.

I am writing this review based on the tour I had with Kathleen. I toured both the Assisted Living…read moreand the Memory Care floors. The place feels warm, uplifting and inviting. It's also very clean and doesn't smell. I love the setup of the memory care. Sometimes your loved one may be between the two levels of care, and may benefit from socializing people in the assisted living. Ivy Park allows that when appropriate, which is unique and something I love about this place. I also liked the floor plan of the Memory Care on the third floor. The hallway is like a loop, instead of a straight hallway with fire doors at the ends (where people with dementia may try to leave). The entire place feels like a nice hotel lobby where people gather. I also felt that this place takes fall prevention seriously - it's a major concern for elderly people in general but especially those with dementia. The flooring and the way furniture was set up in the common areas was thoughtful, i.e., there wasn't anything that was sticking out where you could trip or bump into. Another facility I recently toured had multiple strips across the hallway, maybe to cover the flooring joints. I saw a woman walking with a walker, and she had to stop and slightly pick up her walker every time she went over those bumps. I toured 30+ facilities in San Diego County when I worked as a social worker, and I have to say this place was one of the best I've seen. I toured for my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law chose another place closer to her home. But I would have definitely chosen Ivy Park if it were up to me. Highly recommended.

Not only are the surroundings meticulously maintained and beautiful, the care they provided my mother was exceptional. My mother had a lot of medical needs and the staff at the facility were always incredibly professional and they went out of their way to ensure she was comfortable and happy. I was constantly impressed with how the staff went above and beyond to meet her needs and ensure her comfort and well-being. Keeping my mother happy was no easy task and the fact that they were able to cater to her high standards while managing her complex medical needs speaks volumes to the top notch care this facility provides. Ivy Park has a genuine commitment to excellence and I can't recommend them enough. I couldn't have found a better place for my mother. Thank you Ivy Park for your exceptional care of my mother.

One of my favorite responsibilities is running the library. Reading has always been one of my greatest passions, and caring for the library keeps my mind active while allowing me to share that love with others. The friendships I have made here are truly priceless. I enjoy sharing meals, attending activities, and spending time with people who have become like sisters to me. I also appreciate the many opportunities to stay healthy and active. My daily exercise classes, weekly balance class, Mahjong games, Texas Hold'em, Jeopardy, and Password sessions all keep both my body and mind engaged. I especially enjoy the wonderful outings and special events, like the Belmont Village Olympics, which create so many fun memories. To end each week, I look forward to Friday evening Shabbat services lead by my dear friend, Beryl Bosher, here at Belmont Village. Gathering with this special group of Jewish women and men provides comfort, friendship, and a meaningful way to begin the Sabbath together. Belmont Village has given me much more than a place to live. It has given me purpose, friendship, opportunities to stay healthy, and countless reasons to smile. At this stage of my life, those gifts are truly priceless, and I am deeply grateful to be part of such a caring and vibrant community. With gratitude, Carol T.
