The Ivy at Wellington sits in a quiet part of Laguna Woods, over eight acres between the foothills and the ocean, and people around here like how close it is to both nature and local things to do, but you'll also find it easy to get to with highways nearby. The Ivy at Wellington is part of Ivy Living and has several kinds of care for those who are older, so people who live here can stay as their needs change, and they've got independent living for older adults who want to do things on their own, assisted living for those who need some help with daily things like bathing or medicine, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, and they also have skilled nursing care right on the grounds if health needs become more serious. The place has big floor plans including studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, and there are special suites for memory care, so everyone has choices, and all rooms were made to let people have privacy but also get help when needed.
People who've got pets can bring them along, and only folks 62 or older can live here, so there's a clear focus on senior needs. The Ivy at Wellington tries to make things easy with weekly housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, and even scheduled rides for when someone needs to go somewhere, but there's also plenty to do without leaving the grounds, with a library, media room, heated pool and spa, a full-service salon, fitness center, activity studio, courtyard, and calm walkways-plus crafts, lounges, bar area, and entertainment center, so there's always something going on. The dining program lets residents eat all day at the Vine at Ivy Restaurant and the meals focus on being both healthy and good tasting, which seems important to a lot of people.
Special programs like EverYou and the Whole Living Approach aim to make sure folks feel taken care of and comfortable, and the staff does their best to be friendly and helpful, making everyone feel welcome. Activities cover a lot of ground-social, physical, and mental-so people can stay active in ways that fit them, and the community often earns awards for their events. Memory care is set up to keep people safe and help prevent wandering, while assisted living gives support for basics, and skilled nursing is ready for those who need more medical attention. On top of having places to relax and meet others, the staff works hard to learn what each person needs, helping to balance independence with support for everyone on campus. The Ivy at Wellington's goal is for every resident to have what they need to stay healthy, active, and comfortable, no matter how much help they may need as years go by.
