Ivy Park at Walnut Creek is licensed for assisted living and is able to layer in substantial medical oversight. Care staff can monitor residents who are up throughout the night, manage oxygen therapy, and admit adults younger than 60 when appropriate. The community manages diabetes across the spectrum—oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale regimens—and it accepts residents living with advanced dementia. A registered nurse or licensed vocational nurse is on duty around the clock, and additional nursing support remains on call for urgent needs. Podiatry visits are conducted on site, reducing the need for outside appointments.
The facility is structured for hands-on assistance when daily tasks become difficult. Team members provide full help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can accommodate every level of transfer, from standby supervision to two-person or Hoyer-lift support. Night-shift staff stay awake, doors are alarmed, and wander-guard technology is available. Pull cords and personal emergency response systems connect residents directly to caregivers, and all employees have completed background checks. An activity director coordinates a schedule intended to keep residents engaged and moving.
Accommodation options range from compact studios to larger apartments. Some residences include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, basic furnishings, cable service, and the ability to paint or otherwise personalize the space, though not every unit offers every feature. Housekeeping, linen changes, and light maintenance are handled by staff, and independent-living residents can add medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry service as needed.
Dining is prepared to meet varied appetites and medical directives. Residents place on-order requests for each meal, snack stations stay stocked between seatings, and the culinary team honors physician-directed diet modifications, including carbohydrate-controlled meals for diabetes and texture adjustments for safer swallowing.
On-site conveniences include resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet access, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit. Regular religious services are conducted in the community, and pets are welcome under certain guidelines. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
