Ivy Park at Santa Monica provides three levels of residential care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and a dedicated Memory Care program—allowing residents to move between levels as needs change. On-site medical coverage includes regular visits or on-call support from dentists, podiatrists, vision specialists, occupational and physical therapists, nurses, and hospice professionals. Medication management, diabetic oversight, ambulatory assistance, incontinence care, and specialized programs designed specifically to accommodate memory loss are available every day. Oxygen management is supported, and the community accepts residents with advanced dementia conditions.
Continuous support is reinforced by a 24-hour nurse on call, an Activity Director, and round-the-clock security staff. Front and rear areas are fenced, exterior doors are alarmed, and every apartment has a pull-cord alert that reaches staff immediately. Full-assistance help is offered for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team can perform transfers for residents using walkers, wheelchairs, or requiring a full-body/Hoyer lift. These measures aim to reduce fall risk and respond quickly to changing health conditions.
Accommodation choices include suites and studios with private bathrooms, some with kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable connections, and the option for residents to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, though not every accommodation has every listed feature. Independent Living residents receive weekly housekeeping, light linen service, and access to maintenance staff, giving them support without compromising autonomy.
Meals are available by set menu or by order, with snacks offered throughout the day and in-room dining on request. A private dining room can be reserved for family visits, and the culinary team can prepare mechanical-chopped or pureed meals as part of diet modifications or management plans prescribed by a physician.
Residents have access to parking, an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, communal gardens, a library, and regular religious services. Internet is available throughout the building, concierge services help with appointments, and scheduled transportation connects residents to medical offices and local shopping. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
