The warm ambience, impeccable cleanliness, and lovely patio, where residents can spend quality time with friends and family, create the perfect setting for healing and recovery. I would especially like to recognize a few wonderful people who played a major role in my recovery. Flor, Florina, Isabel, Grace, Jocelyn, Maria, the nurses and several others were truly my angels. They were always there to help, encourage, and reassure me that this difficult time would pass and that I would be well again. Their kindness, compassion, and constant encouragement meant more to me than words can express. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. Your dedication and caring nature make such a difference in people's lives, especially during their most vulnerable moments. I truly couldn't have done it without you. You will always hold a special place in my heart!

It was not easy as he had loved that home for 46 years - half his life. While he was receiving medical and rehabilitation services, we were looking for the best place for him. Happily, in March we found The Birches, and later that month be became a Birches resident. I've been involved in many decisions in my life but none was more important than The Birches. My sisters and I, and my father, too, were tremendously grateful for his Birches time. Dad received skilled care every single day and night, and more, he was loved and honored. As he frequently said, he was a lucky, lucky man. The Birches --- Wendy and Martha, and Rosie, Mercy, and Khin --- will forever remain in our hearts.

The staff calls for any situation whether it may be for my Mother's health condition, Medication and or Vaccination. I also like the regular fun activities that Silvers Oaks offer to the residents. They even have a monthly Birthday celebration for the residents. I would recommend Silver Oaks Memory Care to families looking for assisted living for their love ones.

Channing House is primarily a retirement community that opened in the 1960s, and added a new…read morebuilding/facility to serve assisted living and skilled nursing patients sometime around 2015. Within the last year, I have had two family members -- neither a resident of the retirement community -- spend time in that new facility. This review is about the facility, not about the retirement community as I have no experience with it -- beyond meeting many delightful residents. Everyone working at Channing House is friendly -- they do a first-rate job of hiring topnotch people, not just the kind and knowledgeable nursing staff but all the employees who work behind the scenes to keep the place humming, greet visitors, drive patients to medical appointments, and bring gourmet meals to residents. Everyone gets personal attention. Our most recent experience was with the SNF, and everyone who came to visit the patient commented on how clean and cheerful it was. I was told that many of the residents of the retirement community volunteer in the SNF -- one of the volunteers said to me "we figure we are all going to spend time here at some point, so we want to make sure it's nice!" I credit Channing House with the fact that both my family members recovered from serious health setbacks and progressed to the point that they could be discharged back home. The location -- perfect for walks (and always lots of parking) -- is a nice bonus, and let us take outings to coffee shops, the nearby park, downtown library, and even Sephora.

They set the tone for this independent, non-profit retirement home. The staff from top to bottom has done a Herculean (and Sisyphusian) task of keeping residents and staff safe.

The staff is working so hard and so effectively and sensitively to keep everyone healthy, comfortable, and well cared for. They are surrogates for all of us family who cannot be there in person. I will be eternally grateful to them for everything.

For me, being faced with home hospice care and not being sure what to do about anything, the professionals at Ultimate Homecare helped me tremendously. Siteri approached my family's situation with tremendous care and calmness. Siteri introduced my family to Leba who worked with my family during my father's hospice care. Leba is absolute perfection.

I recently attended a tour of Ivy Park while looking around for senior independent living options…read more I don't live there. So I can't tell you what it is like to be actually living there. But the tour showed a nice, clean residence with plenty of natural lights. The tour itself and the impression of the residences I got from that tour, not the living experience, is what I give 5 stars. A couple of things I like are, 1) It is a small community with 88 apartments that makes it easier for residents and staffs to know and socialize among each other. The residences I encountered looked to be happy and interacted with each others. 2) Location is pretty good close to the 2nd city center around California Avenue. 3) Meals are per order and cooked from that order when you actually sit down at their dinning hall unlike most senior homes that have fixed menu for each meal. Cook per order minimizes the waste if people don't show up to eat. As far as cost goes for independent living, Ivy Park is very similar to Moldaw which is a much bigger community, when factored in the entrance fees and monthly payments. Ivy Park has a much lower entrance fee than Moldaw. But it has a much higher monthly fee than Moldaw. After interests calculations, they are pretty much washed. For assisted living, Ivy Park might be at lower monthly fees even though it is not clear as these per health condition services fees schedules are not disclosed by either Ivy Park or Moldaw. If you don't want to tie up a lot of money in entrance fees, but don't mind paying more monthly, and you like a smaller cozy community, Ivy Park can be considered. If you have a lot of cash for entrance fees, but would like to pay less monthly, and like the many activities available from a much bigger community, Moldaw would be better.
