I would definitely recommend them to my friends. They had an awesome staff and a great Director. My uncle was very happy there.

Ivy Park at Seven Oaks in Bakersfield, CA
5.0

I would say that The Ivy is first class in every way and that is largely due to strong leadership advocating for their residents. The facility is gorgeous and clean and much like a country club (order meals off a menu, etc). Extremely kind, caring, and empathetic staff.I would highly recommend The Ivy for loved ones or myself.
