Review for Ivy Springs Senior Living

I was a true advocate for my father and because I was I feel his care was good. I got to know the director of the marketing director the director of the food service I mean it was very easy to know these people I felt it at times it was necessary. I think they suffered from the same thing that a lot of places suffered from which is a lot of turnover with nursing aids, etc. but outside of that, I think it's a good place. They were very reactive to most of the things, but I did feel for people who did not have advoca

Our Experience

My wife is in the memory care. All of the aids are very respectful.

The staff was very responsive whenever I had a question or concern. Mom's caretakers seemed invested in her well-being.

Over promise under deliver - get out now,

Greedy ownership operates this facility on a shoestring budget. Incredible staff turnover, low morale, none exultant supervision of care staff, are [name removed] some of the significant deficiencies noted. Laundry service is disgustingly. Residential grade washers and dryers are often out of service and on many occasions we noted no detergent available but that didn’t stop staff from running the washers. , Resident rooms and common areas mopped with dirty water. Incontinent residents are very infrequently checked
