Ivy Park at La Jolla delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programs structured for residents who may wander, attempt elopement, exhibit combative or other behavioral concerns, or remain awake through the night. Advanced dementia support is available, and the nursing team can manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes at every level—oral medications, injections, or sliding scale. Younger residents under 60 can be accommodated, and the community accepts individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site, backed by a nurse on call 24/7, ensuring continual medical oversight.
Safety and direct care tasks are handled by an awake night shift, 24-hour security staff, and door-alarm and WanderGuard systems. Residents have pull-cord or personal emergency response units that alert staff instantly. Full assistance is offered with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and staff are trained in transfers ranging from simple walker support to two-person or full Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound residents. Podiatry appointments are provided on site, and an activity director coordinates daily engagement that aligns with each resident’s cognitive and physical abilities.
Accommodations include studios or suites that may feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and furnished layouts; some allow residents to repaint or decorate to suit personal taste. Because floor plans vary, not every unit offers each of these features, so it is best to verify availability during a tour. Ivy Park at La Jolla also extends Independent Living services, supplying medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry so residents can focus on daily routines rather than chores.
Dining operates on an on-order system, allowing residents to choose meals at each seating, with snacks always available between times. The culinary team manages physician-ordered diet modifications, including low-salt, diabetic, or texture-adjusted menus, and coordinates closely with nursing staff to match medical requirements with mealtime preferences. Social dining rooms encourage interaction, yet room-service delivery can be arranged for those recovering from illness or preferring quiet meals.
Amenities round out the community experience with resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, wellness center, and full barber and beauty shop services. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. High-speed internet, on-site religious services, scheduled transportation, proximity to public transit, and short-stay respite options add further convenience and flexibility for residents and families.
