Amazing

There are so many different choices that do not repeat consecutively. There is a lot of participants. Residents laugh, share stories and socialize during activities which makes it have a sense of family, friends and belonging. The staff genuinely have huge hearts and put the residents first. The activities directors and assistants always invite, include and show love to them all. They take their suggestions and requests and put it on the calendar and make sure they are all heard and happy.

Awesome community!

The Ivy is so involved with their community. They do so many activities, events and outings with their residents. My son has even been able to participate/attend their trunk or treat event, dog therapy sessions, Easter bunny pictures all while being able to chat with the residents. We even got to wave and cheer them on in the town parade!! These are all such great experiences for both parties. The Ivy does an awesome job with their activities.

The Ivy is the perfect place.

Everyone is so friendly! The staff exceeds expectations and are very helpful and friendly. I find the living arrangements beyond my expectations, very clean and well kept community. I love the spacious apartments with tall ceilings. I appreciate the outstanding and caring staff in the dining room, at the front desk concierge, and wonderful housekeeping team. The food is excellent. Overall beyond my wildest dreams never thought senior living would be this good!

A wonderful place to live

I love the staff and the residents because they are friendly and caring. I love the recreation director! She has lots of exercise programs and we go on many outings. This place is so beautiful and I am so happy to bring in friends and family to show off this lovely community. My daughters like that they are notified what is going on and how I am doing. The nurse and a CNA stopped in when I got home from the hospital and checked on me to see how I was doing and if it wasn't for them stopping in I would not have known my blood pressure dropped and they were there for me and stayed with me for half an hour. The staff is terrific! The chef is excellent with a great menu and you can request special items not on the menu, you have lots to choose from. Can't be a better place for your loved ones. Housekeeping is great and the place is clean and I would not go anywhere else. The management is easy to talk to and great to work with and they are there for you. I have lived her for two years.

Best community I have visited

This by far is the best pace for my father. I was warmly greeted and in awe of how clean, new and beautifully done this senior living community is! I can picture my father enjoying the rest of his life here. The staff are amazing and I met almost all of them on the first visit! They are kind and understanding and above all heard my story and understood what my father needs and actually helped me. The marketing director was wonderful, kind, supportive and extremely knowledgeable. I met the Chef and learned about the great restaurant style 3 meals a day with many options to choose from, and that's important for my dad! I met the Activity director who was friendly and shared her exciting calendar that engages residents, something my dad can truly benefit from! We passed the wellness office and I met one of the nurses who got up and just briefly chatted with me and I was so impressed that she offered concern and advice for my dad. I will definitely be moving my father into this community!

The Ivy at Watertown

The Ivy at Watertown is the perfect place. I would highly recommend them, in fact, we've got someone else who's moving in next week. The care services during the week are a 5/5, but on the weekend they are short-staffed. My relative needs assistance getting in his bed and pulling the covers up, but sometimes they don't come because they are busy with other people. He's also very weak and would like someone to walk him to his room, but they can't provide that because they don't have enough people. The staff, however, are very lovely caring people. The food is very good; my relative can't chew very well so sometimes the food is a little al dente, but he loves the variety. I think they had pork ribs today and he loves their pork ribs. They have such a good variety that sometimes I look at the menu to get an idea of what I should have supper. They have physical therapy and occupational therapy available if needed and open occupational therapy that you can go to in the gym. He goes to the music activities and most of the other stuff. There's a lot of things he does and some things he's too tired for. I think it's a fantastic and great place.

A Great Place for Mom

We love The Ivy. My mom was made to feel very welcome when she got there. They had some of the existing residents take her around and eat with her. And she says everybody is so friendly and nice. She really likes the food. There's a good variety, and she enjoys that they serve ice cream. The facility itself is beautiful. We looked at quite a few different places, and this was one of the better ones, and a good value comparatively.

Our Tour Experience

Our tour was very good. They made sure to show us all the amenities - pools, gyms, all sorts of things. I still can’t get over the idea of getting around the place without getting lost. But there's a lot here to offer. You just have to know how to ask for and navigate and take advantage of everything to get the full value.

Refreshing New Environment

This is a brand new community. There is a exercise classes for the residents currently. They also have other activities for the residents to choose from. They have a grill area for summer time use. The Ivy is allowing visits indoors. If the community has a positive COVID test, then they will move visits outside. I was able to see my loved one, during the 14 day quarantine period during moving in.
