Ivy Park at Rockville

While we were there on the tour, Hannah knew every resident we walked by, and she took the time to help them out while she was touring us around. She just had a lot of compassion. They gave us a couple of cannoli, and they were pretty good. They offered all kinds of activities throughout the day for the folks there. They have a salon, a movie theater, and an ice cream bar.

My dad is a resident. The staff is amazing. They're the same every single day as far as being upbeat, and they know every resident by the first name. They know things about them, and they get to know them. The facility overall is amazing. I haven't tried the food, but my dad has and he's enjoying it. He said he can live off the soup and salad. They have a lot of things to offer like a movie theater, a hair salon on site, and a lot of different activities. They ask the residents what they're interested in. They also have live music on Fridays. They also have an ice cream bar. They each get a calendar all color-coded by activity, and they know what's going on every single day. So, there's always something for someone.

My parents will be moving in. It is very close to my home, and since I'm moving my parents across the country, that was important to me. This staff is very welcoming and friendly. The layout of the large lobby and the sort of physical layout of the public spaces would appeal to my mother. We were very impressed with them; In researching the memory care portion, we were very pleased by how much they wanted my father, who did not have dementia, to be part of her care in the memory care area. They wanted him to come to visit and be an active partner. That was very important for us. The rooms are very similar actually to the facility that they are moving from. So that was also appealing, that the layout was similar. The finishes were refreshed, there were no stains; it's nicely finished, and pleasant layout. Everything looks fantastic. We have visited several times. I've been to the facility now; I think three times and every time the outdoor patios are swept and clean and the interior surfaces are freshly vacuumed, and it all looks very nice.

It was very clean, very peaceful, and very beautiful. The one who showed me around was very courteous, very polite, very friendly, and very helpful. She's perfect. They showed me an empty room. They even showed me a unit that already has someone living there, but with the resident's permission. I was very satisfied with their effort. They showed me a studio and a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment, and I am interested in a one-bedroom apartment. They showed me the schedule of their activities there and it looked very good. I saw their bible study in progress yesterday. They showed me everything, and they did a wonderful job. They had a courtyard, a movie theater, library, laundry room, and beauty shop. It's a well-equipped facility. The area is very peaceful and very beautiful. I felt so safe. I got the feeling that the security was very, very good. It's excellent. Every person has their own preference though. When I looked out the window, I could see other residents' windows. I think that privacy isn't 100 percent as I had hoped for. If all the windows are facing nowhere but the view, that would've been perfect.

We went to the memory care and assisted living facilities. It was nice and I liked it, but it didn't meet my father's needs. It's 25 miles from his doctors, and it will be a little bit of a trouble as far as logistics and taking him to doctors' appointments. The staff seemed good, and the dining area was nice.

My mother lived in their assisted living and we liked it. They have memory care as well. It's a really good place. They had lots of activities and one activity person who was there all day long in the activity room. My mom was on the second floor but she couldn't do long walks, but if she was interested in an activity they would get her and bring her there. They would try to encourage her to participate in activities. The activity lady was wonderful. The food was really good, and they had a dining area. They would check on her every few hours. Her studio was great and it was big; the bathroom was big as well. The staff was good.
