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.

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.

There is never anyone at the front desk. If you do find someone, they are unable or unwilling to help any residents. The lobby is filthy, and the property is run down. The worst part of all- they make you believe that if a resident pulls their emergency cord- something will be done. Ha! The alarms are constantly beeping at the front desk and no one cares. Don't rely on anyone checking on you or your loved ones. Resident's packages are left at the front door or on the ground and no one will notify you. The washers don't work and the cards that you have to use don't work. The front desk's answer to this is to call the card company - who never answers the phone! I haven't been able to do my laundry here in a year. There are smokers who sit outside of our windows, and no one will do anything about it.

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!

We tried for many year's, but couldn't get them to move to Florida, so I moved to San Diego. I didn't want to burden them by moving in with either daughter, and I didn't want to be alone. So,my daughters each took me to around a dozen places for seniors. I actually cried after visiting some of them. I thought to myself, " I don't belong here". But, when we entered Belmont Sabre Springs, I had a more positive impression . Nobody sitting around with blank stares. People were conversing, laughing, doing things! The place was bright and cheery. Belmont offered a wide variety of activities which were entertaining, intellectual, exercise classes, water aerobics, and best of all, Shabbat Services! That was something not offered at any other Senior living facility we visited. Right then I knew this was the place for me. I'm glad I chose Belmont Sabre Springs because: 1 my daughters live really close 2 I have a lovely view from my apartment 3 l have met some lovely people, many friends, and two really close that I call my "sisters".! 4 I enjoy many activities ( they keep me really busy) such as: Leading our religious services and holiday festivities, painting, mah jongg, Password, Jeopardy, trivia, bingo, interesting lectures, trips to museums, lunches out, movies, Padres games, Safari Wildlife zoo, Carlsbad flower gardens, and other trips. I've become so immersed in my life here I even was voted into President of our Residents Council. 5) And very important, the staff are friendly, helpful, caring! Belmont Sabre Springs was a good choice for me. I like it here. Beryl Bosher

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.

Our family cannot recommend Sunview Gardens highly enough…read more Making the decision to move our mom into assisted living came with so much guilt. Her care had become more than our family could safely provide around the clock, but that didn't make the decision any easier. We visited many assisted living communities and board-and-care homes, and unfortunately, many of them left us feeling discouraged and heartbroken. The moment we walked into Sunview Gardens, it felt completely different. It was warm, welcoming, and truly felt like a home. The residents were beautifully cared for, dressed nicely, with their hair done, and they genuinely seemed happy and comfortable. There was a warmth and positive energy there that we simply hadn't felt anywhere else. Our mom spent the last few years of her life at Sunview Gardens, and looking back, our only regret is that we didn't make the decision sooner. She loved her home there. She made wonderful friends, and most importantly, she was surrounded by caregivers who treated her with genuine love, patience, dignity, and kindness. The owners clearly take great pride in Sunview Gardens, and that care is reflected in everything--from the incredibly clean and well-kept environment to the attention each resident receives. We always felt that our mom was known, valued, and truly cared for as a person, not simply as a resident. If you are struggling with the guilt and worry that can come with moving someone you love into assisted living, I completely understand. We were once in that exact position. Sunview Gardens gave our family peace of mind, and it gave our mom a loving, happy home during the final years of her life. For that, we will always be grateful. Choosing Sunview Gardens was one of the best decisions we made for our mom, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly to any family looking for a loving and exceptional place for someone they cherish.

Thankfully, a Good Samaritan noticed an elderly woman with a walker headed down Midland St. in Poway. Sunview Gardens was ill-eqipped to care for her. The owner knew she had Alzheimer's and even assessed her! She had no problem opening the gate around the perimeter of the house. It is a very small facility; the staff definitely should have been paying closer attention. In addition, we hired a third party care-giver to stay with her overnight one day/night. This person notified us that a caregiver at Sunview literally yelled at our loved one for coming to the breakfast room before it was time. Stay away from this place if your loved one needs Memory Care.
