Premier Facility for Memory Care

I give Ivy Terrace 5 stars. The staff were wonderful, very caring and taking a personal interest in their residents. My husband only spent (1) day there before being hospitalized and he passed away shortly after that, so I can not rate the long term care. The cost is high but the facilities are excellent

We liked this facility because it specializes in memory care. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Even more impressive was some of the residents reached out to us on our tour and spoke directly to us about much they enjoyed living at Ivy Terrace. We also saw plenty of smiles and positive interactions between the residents and staff. The fact that the facility is single-story with a walkable greenbelt around the buildings was also attractive to us.

The faculty is bright, very organized and very clean. The director was attentive and supportive. The residents appeared to be well cared for. I was there at the end of lunch and the food looked fresh and well prepared. I would have liked to observe an activity session with the residents.

Review for Ivy Terrace at Garden Grove

The staff are very supportive and are aware of my requests for visiting and are patient with my mom's behavior. I appreciate their care of her. Also, there are multiple activities so she's not sitting all the time. Finally she has made several friends so doesn't feel lonely or abandoned by me. She frequently tells me she is ok and I don't need to visit all the time. She says she is happy there.

Response from the community

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re so glad to hear that your mom feels comfortable, supported, and connected—it means so much to know she’s happy and building friendships. We also understand how important it is for families to feel confident and supported, and we’re grateful you’ve felt that along the way. Creating an engaging environment where residents feel a true sense of belonging is something we care deeply about. Thank you again for your kind words.
