When walking in I was greeted by front desk. The gal was kind and offered free water and coffee while I waited in the lobby. The building was clean and up kept. While walking down the hallway I got to see residents interacting with each other doing an activity in the common area room. I thought it was nice how they got to interact with each other.

Ivy at Lake Merritt has been an absolute blessing in a way I never could have imagined. After caring for my mom at home for three years, placing her in memory care was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever faced. I never imagined I would feel this much peace, and even joy, on the other side of it. The facility is beautiful, but more importantly, it is filled with genuine love. The staff does not just care for the residents, they truly connect with them and with the families. You can feel it the moment you walk in. I have not seen my mom this alive and happy in years. She dances when music plays, laughs freely, and even pulls others into the joy with her. I have had other residents’ spouses stop me just to tell me how much joy she brings, and that says everything. This place is rare. Our hearts are full, and I am so deeply grateful. I also found it helpful to know that the community has been under new management for the past few months. Our experience reflects the care, attention, and heart that is clearly present today.

It’s incredibly special to hear how she’s connecting with others and bringing joy to those around her—that says so much. We’re so glad you can feel the care and connection within the community. Thank you also for sharing the photos—we’re so glad your mom has a space that feels like home. We appreciate your trust and your kind words.

My wife and I recently visited this community for a tour and I have all great things to report. The staff is very attentive to the care and well being of the residents. They have a clean and well maintained community that is the best I’ve seen. The Chef on staff is amazing and so is the food. I met the Executive Director Daniela who brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the community at Ivy Park at Lake Merritt. The area is overlooking the lake which is home to nice tall oak trees and beautiful birds who add lots to a peaceful environment for your Loved one! I highly recommend this community!
