I'm overall very happy - the facility is beautiful and impeccably clean, and the staff are professional, caring and welcoming; they learn residents' names and respond with warmth. There are plentiful activities (exercise, bingo, concerts, weekly outings), a lovely rose garden and many social events, and the dining offers lots of choices, generous portions and room service. My main caveats: food speed and occasional taste issues, some signs of understaffing/delayed caregiver response, and troubling billing/refund problems I'd verify ahead of time. I'd recommend it for the staff and amenities, but go in prepared and confirm billing and response expectations.
Ivy Park at Cerritos sits on a well-landscaped property with walking paths, gardens, and plenty of outdoor areas like a rose garden, peaceful lounges, and a community park where folks can sit or stroll if they want some fresh air, and you'll find both private studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites, sometimes looking right out onto a garden courtyard, so residents can pick what suits their needs. The building's two stories have spacious floors and rooms set up for privacy, comfort, and safety, and there's also high-speed Wi-Fi all through the property which is fully handicap accessible. People who live here have to be at least 62, and the facility can support up to 163 residents across independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so care ranges from just a little extra help to full support-there are, for example, services for people who need daily care, medication management, or memory support, with 12-16 hour nursing and a 24-hour call system in place, and staff are well-trained, friendly, and on hand at all times.
Ivy Park at Cerritos, as part of Oakmont Senior Living, focuses on what they call a whole living approach, supporting health and independence, and the staff works to respect each resident's personal choices, whether it's care needs or how someone likes their day to go, and everything from weekly housekeeping, laundry services, on-site maintenance, and scheduled transportation makes things easier for everyone. The dining here is all-day, in the Vine at Ivy Restaurant, and meals are planned by chefs and dietitians-folks eat in the dining room or can have room service or pick up a meal if they're not feeling up to socializing that day. Pets are allowed, so residents can keep their animals with them, and outdoor gathering areas with barbecue spots make it feel more like a home than an institution.
There's a full-service salon, library, activity studio, and regular programs that cover everything from crafts to fitness, so it's hard to get bored; both social and educational programs run year-round, and there are unique features like virtual reality therapy for folks dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia. The staff follows detailed cleaning and care routines and keep an eye on support, privacy, security, and just general comfort as the main things for residents. Located close to places like Kaiser Permanente Hospital and Walgreens pharmacy means help and supplies aren't far if needed. Oakmont Senior Living manages the place and brings its own activity calendar and approach to wellness, but residents often comment on the relaxing garden walkways, the welcoming and friendly staff, and events that help keep everybody connected, both physically and mentally. The community's won awards like the Best of Senior Living and Best of Senior Living All Star, mostly for their quality of care. All in all, it's a senior community with a broad mix of support, social opportunities, safety, and plenty of personal choice, in a pleasant setting that puts residents' needs and preferences first.
