Ivy Park at Culver City sits in a quiet neighborhood close to Mar Vista, with easy access to Venice Boulevard, the 10 freeway, and 405, and if anyone's looking to get out, there's places like Marina Del Rey, Santa Monica beachwalk, and LAX nearby, so getting around isn't hard, especially since they offer complimentary transportation for the residents and there's parking for those who drive, and once you're there, you see it's a two-story community with its own charm, friendly to pets and people, and the gardens are nice for anyone who likes to sit outside or walk among the flowers. The place feels like a boutique community, full of spots to relax like the indoor and outdoor lounges, the bistro, and a garden, while the fitness center, activities studio, and arts rooms make it easy for folks to keep active, and if a quiet time is wanted, there's a library to sit down with a book or maybe use the Wi-Fi. Residents can choose from private studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments for assisted living or go with cozy companion and private suites in the Evergreen at Ivy area, which is designed for people needing memory care, and all apartments have easy-access showers for safety.
The EverYou program is one thing they talk about for memory care, and what that means is people get activities and care plans based on what they like and need, so folks with Alzheimer's or dementia can still find ways to feel engaged and cared for, and care is always tailored to the individual, with nurses, podiatrists, and caregivers close by to help with daily tasks, medication, and homecare, while hospice care is there for those who need end-of-life support. The facility offers assisted living for seniors who may not need full-time nursing but still need help now and then, and families can rest easy knowing there are trained staff around and personal plans that can change as needs change, and plus, if a haircut or a bit of pampering is wanted, there's a full salon on site. For food, there's all-day dining at the Vine at Ivy Restaurant, and the kitchen serves meals with choices that fit different tastes or diets, and snacks are easy to get, too.
Because some folks like to keep busy while others want quiet, there's social, educational, and spiritual programs, both onsite and offsite, so you might see a group heading out to a coffee shop or staying in for music or devotional services, and home care aides support residents who'd like to stay in their apartments as long as they can on their own. Ivy Park keeps a strict no smoking policy indoors, whether in public or private areas, which makes the environment healthier for everyone whether they're living independently, with help, or getting memory care, and while some parts of the place are women- or men-only, most areas welcome everyone who meets the age requirement. With room for up to 150 residents, Ivy Park gets recognized for its friendly staff, unique design, and focus on wellness, and they've won awards like Best of Senior Living and Most Friendly, but folks mostly say it feels like a homelike place where residents know each other, can bring their pets, and feel respected for who they are. The place is managed by Oakmont Senior Living, which is known for offering luxury comforts and good care, all meeting the licensing standards set by California, and you'll find everything from resident gardens to music programs and a wellness spa, with a goal to help each person keep growing and enjoying life however they want as the days go by.
