Ivy Park at Bradford sits at 1180 Bradford Ave and offers several types of care, so you find assisted living, memory care services through Evergreen at Ivy, as well as independent living, retirement home, and even nursing home support if needed later, which means folks can age in place and don't need to move if needs change over time, and the minimum move-in age is 62. There are studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, plus companion suites and private suites at Evergreen for those in memory care, and all apartments include basic cable and utilities, along with weekly housekeeping and laundry. The spaces are all nonsmoking indoors, and pets are welcome, even with options for pet care and walking, which is handy for animal lovers, and the entire community allows both men and women. Bathrooms have wheelchair-accessible showers, and the building has an emergency response system along with staff trained for health needs available at all times, which helps people feel safer.
Residents can get help with personal care needs like bathing and dressing, and there's medication management, podiatrist and dentist services, and a doctor and nurse both on call if a health need pops up, plus physical, occupational, and speech therapy right onsite, which keeps folks from having to leave for those appointments. Ivy Park has hospice care, respite care, homecare onsite, and even concierge physician services, so if someone needs extra support they don't have to arrange everything themselves. If transport is an issue, the staff provides scheduled and complimentary rides to appointments or activities, and for families visiting or those wanting extra comfort, guest meals and even room service are available.
Meals are fresh and healthy, offered all day at the Vine at Ivy Restaurant, and you'll find vegetarian options as well, so there's a little something for different tastes and needs. The activities calendar is always full, covering things to keep anybody social, engaged, and moving, from exercise and gardening in raised garden beds, to spa and beautician services, a library for quiet time, and clubs, the bistro, and club room for more fun or community gatherings, plus there are devotional services and programs for lifelong learning too. People get to spend time in indoor and outdoor lounge areas, enjoy the courtyard with a fireplace, and there are garden spaces for those who like to be outside, so you don't feel stuck inside all the time. Evergreen at Ivy offers a safe memory care wing where programs focus on cognitive skills and reducing confusion, and there's extra safety for those with memory loss to prevent wandering.
Wellness services follow a whole living approach, which covers physical, mental, and social health, so the mindset isn't only about medical issues but also about keeping the days meaningful. Residents who are active can keep up with fitness programs and use the center, and those who need more help get support without giving up independence. Laundry, maintenance, activities, and personal care all get handled by attentive staff, and the focus is always on helping people do as much for themselves as they can. Ivy Park at Bradford doesn't allow smoking in public or private indoor areas, and the whole place was designed so older adults can live easier and more fully.
