Experience at The Ivy Berkeley
Overall experience -fair. Difficult to find any place with independent living. It's really an assisted care facility meaning there is no privacy. It's because they're always checking on you to make sure you are okay. This is a new place and they are understaffed. Deliveries don't get delivered for days. There is no internal website so it is difficult to communicate. Every question/request must go through an overworked concierge. Daily schedules are posted in elevator, weekly menus are photocopied and must be retrieved from the lobby. Facility is lovely with several outside areas. Food is bland and portions are small which is to be expected in this kind of facility. Bring your own seasoning to the table. Rooms have two burner cooktops and full refrigerators but little storage. In my one bedroom unit there are two drawers in the entire space both in the kitchen, none in the bathroom. Lots of overhead cabinets which would be useful if you are six feet tall or taller. Staff are all very cheerful and eager to be helpful.

VerifiedOur Dad’s 94th Birthday
Our father has been receiving stellar memory care at the Ivy Berkeley for the past 6 months. We reached out to coordinate his 94th birthday celebration at the facility, which turned out to be a brilliant success. Good food, family and lots of love. Thank you to (name removed), (name removed) and (name removed) for making it happen.

Excellent location
Generally good. Attentive staff. Decent food. Excellent location. Relatively small: 100 residents. Thus somewhat limited activities. Expensive. 7% rent increase set for later this year.

Not the right fit
We have since relocated my dad. We found the system generally unorganized - no one would show up to host activities, one server at meal times, meetings with management never led to changes that were promised, etc. It all became very frustrating for my dad so we opted to find a better fit. The facility is very clean, almost brand new. There are a variety of room sizes available.

VerifiedIt is a very nice facility. It just opened last year. There was a little construction happening on the first floor. Something to do with a private family dining room, if family comes to visit. Beautiful views of the bay. Nice outdoor areas.

The staff at The Ivy Berkeley was nice and professional. The rooms were very clean. The place was very new. I didn't have any issues with that. The patio looked nice and clean. They have rooftop access. We just quickly passed through the dining area because my mom was getting kind of tired, and it was a nice size. They had just finished with their lunch menu, and so the place wasn't clean, but the staff was working on it. There was a gate in the underground parking.

We were met at the entrance by one of the marketing directors. She took us on a complete tour of the facility which is absolutely wonderful. Modern decor, very well laid out for both function and attractiveness. We were under a lot of pressure due to an unexpected early discharge from the SNF where she was being provided rehabilitation.. when we made the decision to place her at Ivy, the staff guided us through every part of the process. With professionalism and full understanding of the pressure. They made the transition look easy.

Best in the area
I lived at another community in Berkeley and unfortunately, after a not so great experience, decided it was time for something new. I took a chance on The Ivy, and will never look back. From the initial tour to having lived here now 5 months the experience has been amazing. A few internal changes, but all with the best intentions in mind. Things continue to get better and better everyday. The food is by far the best the team across the board is always friendly and always willing to help. They have been so accommodating in every way. The community itself is also extremely beautiful. As a Berkeley local, it was nice to feel at home here since day one. I am so happy to call this community my home. Thank you to the amazing team that makes this place feel like home... not just a care facility.

VerifiedGreat potential but needs time
The lower numbers are because this facility is very new and it seems like they don't have all of the processes down, there has been quite a bit of inconsistency and repetitive issues. We have been disappointed multiple times but it's not so bad that I would consider moving my dad again.
