Ivy Park at San Marino

Ivy Park at San Marino is a large senior living community with 99 beds for residents who are 62 and older, and the place offers assisted living, memory care, independent living, and respite care, as well as hospice support, and the staff help with bathing, dressing, bathroom needs, grooming, mobility, and even 2-person transfers when those are needed, plus regular wellness checks and medical reminders, and the place has a full-time team available around the clock, with a part-time nurse and specialized training in memory care so that people with Alzheimer's or dementia get help from the Evergreen at Ivy program and EverYou activities that keep minds active and aim for daily success. There are accessible showers, wheelchair-friendly rooms, and all the apartments, which come in studio and one-bedroom layouts, have full-sized bathrooms, closets, and plenty of light, and you can choose private or shared living and even bring your own furniture or keep it unfurnished if that suits you better. The dining room is elegant, there's always a guest meal option, and people can get vegetarian, gluten-free, low or no sugar, and low or no sodium meals if the doctor says it's best, and there's a chef who pays attention to nutrition, with a bistro open 24 hours for snacks, room service, and a private dining space for special occasions. Transportation is available for doctor appointments, shopping, or outings, and residents can use the community parking lot or hop on the bus lines, since the property's convenient for both, and sometimes there's transportation at cost, but often it's complimentary. Ivy Park has many ways for people to stay social and active, offering regular activities, game rooms, movie entertainment, reading rooms, workout programs, arts and crafts, music and pet therapy, plus exercise and relaxation spaces like a fitness area, hydro spa, and even a sauna, with outdoor places to sit, garden, or walk, with raised beds, palm trees, a rock garden, benches, a pergola, and a fountain for those who want to be outside, while indoors you'll find comfy lounges with plush chairs, TV, and a piano or organ, a sunroom, computer area with free Wi-Fi and bookcases, and both community and private rooms for rest. Spiritual needs are covered by regular devotional services both onsite and offsite, and there's a full-service salon and beautician, a cafe/bistro with wooden bar and tables, and even organized seasonal events and socials to keep people busy and entertained. Safety's a strong point, too, with gated entry, controlled access, emergency call systems, fall prevention programs, and personal medical alert services, and the whole facility is handicap accessible. There's weekly housekeeping, laundry and maintenance, and the staff help keep the place tidy and pleasant, with trained caregivers who focus on wellness and personal growth to make sure everyone feels at home and can stay independent as long as possible. Ivy Park lets residents bring pets or have visiting animals, promotes a friendly and clean community, and uses a partnership-based approach to tailor care and activities, backed by their connection to the wider Ivy Living community, and there's always something going on to help people feel included and fulfilled, whether it's a music program, crafts, educational talks, or simple time spent outdoors, so the place serves folks with a broad range of needs and does its best to support them in a comfortable and respectful way.
