Ivy Park at Huntington Beach sits in a calm seaside area of California and offers several senior living options, including assisted living, independent living, memory care under the Evergreen at Ivy program, and even skilled nursing care for those who need more support, and families seem to like that there's always an option if care needs get heavier over time, which does happen, you know, and in this place, people find private or companion suites that have large windows, bedside tables, and emergency response systems, and if you're someone who cares about these things, all the bathrooms come with grab bars and spacious vanities, and they designed the showers to be wheelchair accessible. Residents can bring their pets, but only dogs, no cats, which many enjoy, and there are cozy living rooms with pet beds, big couches, and TVs by the windows, so people and their pets can relax together. There are garden paths and outdoor porches for strolls or just sitting outside, and people mention the landscaping is lush and the building feels welcoming, with a home-like exterior at the Terrace Club and warm touches inside, such as sunrooms, a media room, and a library.
Meals get served all day in the Vine at Ivy Restaurant, and the food is planned by chefs and meal planners who want to make sure residents are eating healthy, but of course, there are snacks and a bistro, so there's some variety. Staff at Ivy Park are friendly, helpful, and trained, and they help with everyday things like bathing, grooming, laundry, and medication reminders, plus 24-hour supervision, which is a comfort to many, especially loved ones who can't visit as often as they'd like. Housekeeping, maintenance, and utilities are covered, and for folks needing more support, there are specialized care options with personalized plans, including memory care where there are alarms and supports to prevent wandering, help settle anxieties, and special programs to slow memory decline.
Inside, you'll find common areas like lounges with plush seating, an activity room with art tables and even mini bowling sets, and space for games or hobbies, while outside, people like the walking areas and the safe layouts. Activities seem to be a big focus here, with a full schedule of social events, wellness programs, trips and outings, and things meant to keep the mind and body active, and people say the activities feel purposeful instead of just passing the time. For people who want spiritual support, devotional services are held both onsite and at local places, so people can stay connected to their faith if they wish.
Ivy Park has transportation for residents, both free and for a fee, and there's plenty of parking for visitors and families, which sometimes gets overlooked but matters quite a bit to folks coming from outside the area. Amenities include a beauty salon, laundry and linen service, a hydro spa, a library, and media rooms, with options for private dining or group meals, and there's even a pet care and walking service. Suites have kitchenettes, cable hookups, and full bathrooms, and there's always staff available to help with emergencies or just to lend a hand, since some folks need more help as the years go by. For short-term needs, the community can provide respite, hospice, rehabilitation and even coordination with physicians and other professionals, and the facility is recognized in the senior living field, earning a Best of Senior Living Award. The place is licensed under number 306006456 and run by Oakmont Senior Living, and it's clear that they try to give comfort and care in a warm, well-kept environment with programs to suit a wide range of needs.
