About Ivy Terrace at Fullerton

The only residential care facilities to be built with a uniquely designed floor plan for those with Alzheimer's disease and memory impairment. Each center extends over two acres of land and offers extensive walking paths, park-like rose gardens and sunny patios for the residents enjoyment. The warm, home-like atmosphere within a secured perimeter alleviates the stress and anxieties of the elderly people. We provide the finest in personal services under the direction of qualified, licensed professionals. Our team of experienced caregivers is involved in ongoing training including philosophy of care, behavioral management and effective communication. Many of our caregivers have been with us over 10 years and understand the special needs of those with Alzheimer's and related dementias. We offer an entertaining and individualized activities program, including cognitive and sensory stimulation, reminiscence, exercises, pet therapy, music and art. Visits from schools and churches provide added opportunities for enriching social interaction.

It was a pleasant experience. The facility appeared clean, cheerful, and the residents seemed active and engaged. I appreciated that future plans for the facility included more activities to engage men. There was lots of bright natural light. The rooms seemed adequately spacious and I appreciated the use of technology for the safety and engagement of residents. The garden paths are beautiful. In our discussion we did not go into great detail about pricing but I have enough information to determine an appropriate co

I felt it to be sterile. I was surprised how small the room was. The grounds were nice. The staff seemed to be very nice and engaged. They seem to have good off sight experiences. I am not sure of the cost versus value. I would need to see how my spouse would test. I believe that they try very hard to make a good experience for the tenants.

Ivy Terrace at Fullerton

Residents in a memory care facility tend to be watched by keeping the residents in a local area rather than letting them go to their room for an afternoon nap. Families must understand that their loved ones have to be watched so they don't fall or do something that endangers them or others. So you will see residents in this type of facility, snoozing in a chair or wheelchair in the common areas where they can be seen. Ivy Terrace is liked by other families as well. They like the staff, as do I. And they work hard t

Peace of mind

We've had a very positive overall experience so far-especially considering they're currently going through a number of changes. The facility is generally very clean, and the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. The quality of care has been reassuring. My mom is slowly declining, but I truly believe she's being cared for as well as can be expected, and that gives our family peace of mind. The administrative staff has also been excellent-helpful, responsive, and professional. While I don't eat there regula

At ivy terrace, residents are given 100 percent of the staff's attention

The best thing is that it's just for memory care. All staff, activities and surroundings are appropriate for the residents needs. The director & support staff are responsive, courteous and professional. Ivy Terrace is a place I would recommend to anyone who has a loved one that needs memory care.
