Ivy Gables Senior Living stands out for its charming stone architecture that calls to mind an old French country bed and breakfast, with a welcoming atmosphere and beautifully landscaped grounds full of mature trees, garden paths, and seasonal flowers, where residents can sit outside and enjoy the breeze or stroll along walking paths. The community offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care, with options like private rooms, shared bedrooms, and secure apartments in the Garden House for residents who need memory support, and there's a skilled nursing area for those who need a higher level of care. The staff at Ivy Gables, including care and dining associates, are fully trained to help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication, and meals while encouraging everyone to feel at home and maintain as much independence as possible, even as health needs change.
Residents can join a range of structured programs with social, educational, and entertaining activities planned every day-things like painting, trivia, dance classes, concerts, happy hours, and outings into the local area, plus special themed events and seminars, all part of the 'Energy for Body, Mind, and Soul' activity series. For quieter moments, the bright library, three-season porches, and the Great Room provide places to read, socialize, play games, or enjoy a concert, and there's always snacks and drinks available no matter the hour. The staff welcomes local organizations for performances and events, and family members are encouraged to join community life, which gives a real feeling of belonging.
The dining program emphasizes home-style, nutritionally balanced meals made with seasonal and even garden-grown ingredients, served in a restaurant setting by a professional chef, and they handle dietary restrictions with care, even offering wine and cheese receptions. Amenities include a Blossoms Salon for hair care, a multi-purpose room for exercise and movies, and a fitness center with physical therapy services. Safety is a top concern, which is why there's fire-resistant construction and sprinklers, a 24-hour emergency response system, and plenty of staff on-site at all times.

The 24 assisted and independent living apartments and memory care residences let residents pick the arrangement that fits best, knowing care can adapt if needs change. Ivy Gables consistently scores well for quality and satisfaction, with a community score of 7.7, and many residents and their families appreciate the local roots, community ties, and quiet, home-like comforts throughout the seasons.
