First, the caregivers themselves were warm, well-screened, and very patient and loving with our mom and dad -- both of whom had different needs over time. I became very fond of the caregivers, and we got to interview each of them ~ One of the caregivers was with me (and my dad), when my dad passed away. She was so good to me, and him -- I know being there at his passing has affected us both. We have stayed in touch. Second, the office staff were so helpful even on short notice, and with special requests and any changes to schedules. They just worked with me when we had to deal with (a rare) ill or unavailable angel, to get coverage. I do trust the owners, and spoke with them directly about our needs and about individual caregivers. While it was outside my bailiwick, I only wish they provided benefits (such as healthcare) to their workers, and maybe that is something the agency can consider in the future. The owners seem like good people, and caring towards as well as protective of their employees.

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.

They billed insurance too! We especially loved working with Marianne, Alecia and Anna. The three of them each had their own wonderful ways of caring; however, they were dutiful to know the tasks that were important. They oversaw medications, doctor's appointments, cooking and light cleaning. We appreciated that they looked for things to do during downtime. Marianne and Alecia texted me pictures when I was in another state so I felt connected. Marianne went above and beyond to make sure that there was a loving and familial atmosphere. She brought homemade food that she made for her own family. Alecia was a great listener and companion. Our family member adored her and sometimes asked her to sit and chat. We also found that Alecia's homemade chicken noodle soup was truly heartwarming! When our family member was entering hospice and becoming less communicative, it was hard for us to coax eating and medications. Anna worked her magic and was persuasive where family was not!

These people, the caregivers, go out of their way to not just pass out pills, but they stop and they visit and they love on our mother. They brag on her puzzles. I don't worry that she doesn't have any social activity because so many people in her room each day plus she has a great experience going down to the amazing dining hall where delicious foods are served and the company she shares is excellent. She lost her speech to a stroke, and yet the people that she deals with treat her as though they can understand every garbled word that she speaks. They are so good to her. We are so thankful to Monica zuniga for lighting up Ivy park for us. I'm not sure what we would've chosen. Had it not been for Monica. That girl is a dime and deserves a lot of praise. here is a Monica story. My son flew into San Francisco for business and drove down to surprise my mother. Someone snapped a picture. I sent the picture to Monica from my phone and ask her to run it on photocopy paper and give it to my mom. But no, not Monica! She had the picture printed professionally and put it in a frame and surprise my mom with it. That's Monica. Always going above and beyond I watch her around the facility while I'm there visiting and she is so friendly and engaging with every one of her residents. They all know her and adore her. I don't know what Ivy park does to hire people, but their process is clearly very thorough. I've never heard anyone use a sharp tone with an elderly person, they turn everything to laughter and keep people happy. The gal that runs the bus, I can't think of her name, but my goodness she is absolutely amazing with the elderly. She makes them feel like she's their buddy and their peer while she keeps them safe and entertained. I should get the names of all these people and write a little blurb about each of them because they are so incredible. Lizbeth is one of the caretakers that brings medication to my mom on the daily and talk about a precious soul. She makes my mom feel so adored and my mother absolutely loves her but then she loves everybody that works there. Thank you, Ivy park for such a job. Well done.
