Ivy Park at Salinas is great.

All fives. They are great. The move in was easy and the helped a lot making it easy. And my parents are really happy there. You pay more for them to handle prescriptions/medications. I think that's great because if you don't need help with that, you don't have to pay for it. My parents have complicated prescriptions and it's really important that we get it right. So we pay more each month but they do a great job.

Overall pleased

Mom loves the food. Staff is kind and helpful. Hallways smell like urine sometimes. Hard to communicate with staff and management when doctor changes medication rx.

a friendly caring place

The staff was very friendly and responsive. The only negative thing was some of the residents were not friendly and the little bossy about things.

Things to know

My first year, the fees were raised 27%. That was totally level of care, cost per point (their cost system) and rent for room. It was quite a lot to accept all at once and will shorten the time until my sister will have to go on medicaid. Going in, I would recommend having a clear understanding of how they compute the costs and how much they can increase and how often. It can be every six months.

Truly feel at home

I recently moved my mother into this retirement community during the holiday season, and I must say, I couldn't have made a better choice. The holiday dining experience provided for the residents was nothing short of exceptional. Chef [name removed], in particular, deserves a special mention for his incredible culinary skills. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. What truly impressed me was the level of dedication and care shown by the staff. Even the Executive Director was actively invo

Room for Improvement

I would suggest labeling everything with clients name. So many things were missing even a large throw rug from in front of her bed. It's hard to get people to return calls so being personally involved is a must. The staff is nice but when my sister is disagreeable, they leave her alone in her room. There doesn't seem to be training for caregivers to handle a difficult situation when it arises. Laundry is supposed to be done weekly but we always have to take it to the laundry room or it won't be. The facility presen
