Review for Ivy Springs Senior Living

I was a true advocate for my father and because I was I feel his care was good. I got to know the director of the marketing director the director of the food service I mean it was very easy to know these people I felt it at times it was necessary. I think they suffered from the same thing that a lot of places suffered from which is a lot of turnover with nursing aids, etc. but outside of that, I think it's a good place. They were very reactive to most of the things, but I did feel for people who did not have advocates. I'm not sure about their service the environment. The place was very nice and I think they try very hard to do a good job. I know for the price it was a good value

Our Experience

My wife is in the memory care. All of the aids are very respectful. They never give orders to the patients, but ask "do you want to sit here", "are you through with your meal", etc. They seem to be aware that all of the folks were, in earlier years, young married, new mothers, had careers and were not having memory issues. I watched a big, tall young worker gently take the hand of a confused person and slowly lead them to a seat. I would rate them 5 stars, (the best). The food should be rated 4 1/2 to a 5. The workers are always cleaning the tables and sweeping the floors after a meal, they are quick to move the plates and utensils and wipe off the tables. Their is always a small, tasty desert served after a meal.

Over promise under deliver - get out now,

Greedy ownership operates this facility on a shoestring budget. Incredible staff turnover, low morale, none exultant supervision of care staff, are [name removed] some of the significant deficiencies noted. Laundry service is disgustingly. Residential grade washers and dryers are often out of service and on many occasions we noted no detergent available but that didn’t stop staff from running the washers. , Resident rooms and common areas mopped with dirty water. Incontinent residents are very infrequently checked for soiled diapers and left uncleaned for entire shifts. Management promises of improvement are a joke! Get out of Ivy Springs as quick as you can.

Responsive staff.

Our time with Ivy Springs was a short time. The initial on boarding was fantastic and they were able to get my dad a room right away. The staff was great. Once dad got in - the first week was good. We did have to work through some challenges with the hospice and the pharmacy and then just acquaint dad with the process. Had a couple occasions where the response time was longer, but brought that up with the management team and they addressed it. We were getting into a bit of a groove and adjusting dad's meds, but unfortunately, he passed that second week

This Community Gave Me Peace.

The move in process was smooth. The Family Advisor ([name removed]) made everything so easy and assuaged so many fears. My mother seems to really like the food. The room and bathroom are both very spacious. The staff overall are very attentive, patient, and helpful. They do have great activities. My mother really enjoys happy hour with music and dancing.

Relieved to have found Ivy Springs

[name removed] the Family Advisor is wonderful. The nurse, [name removed], is professional and kind. Anita, the director, was good to meet. I'm still getting to know the staff in Memory Care, but they are great with my mom from what I've observed. Mom's room is nice and large. The bathroom is wheelchair accessible, including the large shower. I am still learning about the activities, but they have had mom up and working on art projects each time I've visited.

Wonderful place!

Ivy Springs Senior Living is such a wonderful place, the staff was so sweet to my mom, they had sensors in the room at leg level if anyone in the memory care unit got out of bed at night and the place looked like a vacation lodge.

Best bang for your buck

Clean! Nothing ever smells or looks bad. New director has improved so many things and beefed up the staff. The activities director is the best I've ever seen, goes above and beyond to entertain. Med tech will actually sit and work a puzzle with my mom sometimes. Food is good.

My wife was well taken care of and would recommend.

My wife passed away on [date removed] of this year, so she was only at Ivy Springs for 2 1/2 months. It's been awhile since I was there and my wife was in a unique situation, so hard to comment. The biggest thing that sticks out in my mind is that when I pulled into the parking lot each day, whenever I saw [name removed]'s car, I felt a calmness come over me.

Happy with our choice. They took a tough situation and made it better.

Most of the residents at Ivy Springs, are here due to age, but my wife is here due to a deteriorating terminal condition. It requires more attention and I feel that the caregivers are doing a great job of caring for her.

Check everything before you commit

The communication is not good at all. To be fair, they were transitioning a lot of positions at the time we moved in. However, it was not communicated to us that they did NOT have a Physical Therapist contracted to work, so my loved one lost ALL of her month long progress from her rehab facility after her stroke. Some of the nurses were real and amazing, but too many didn't know how to treat an elderly person with respect and dignity and about treating them like an actual human being. The move in process was easy, they have a hotel dolly to help. Our loved one actually needed Memory Care, but when we moved in they insisted that she was AL. Low and behold, she needed Memory Care and they put her in theirs. Well, Ivy Springs Memory Care was for extreme cases and they went through sun downing drastically. My loved one was traumatized by the couple of days she was in there. Overall, this facility did not work out for us and we had to move her to a place more suitable for her. If I had to list the reasons for leaving, they would be: 1. Low functioning and traumatic Memory Care 2. Lack of communication/misleading communication 3. Less than friendly nursing staff (not all, but a couple of the ones she interacted with) 4. Lack of a physical therapy program 5. Deterioration of my loved one's physical status.

Dad's new home

What a great experience! From the beginning, every interaction has been fantastic. Rachel Wilson has been amazing to work with. The service I and Dad have experienced from all of the staff is far above what we expected, and their pricing is lower than other assisted living facilities in the area. The property is lovely and looks new, plus the daily activities are awesome! Also they have different 'care levels' to fit what will be needed in the future. I'm grateful that Ivy Springs is where Dad now calls home!

Very satisfied

What sticks out most about the Retreat at Buford is the staff members, they are always very attentive and accessible when needed. The lobby area of the facility is very nice which is why we chose this facility initially. I would recommend Retreat at Buford to others looking.

The Retreat at Buford review

Honestly, the biggest win for us has been the staff, and how much they have gone out of their way to make my aunt feel loved, included, and special. The friendliness of the staff gets 6 stats!!! They truly treat her like family and have gotten her involved in things that she would have never done in 1 million years! I would absolutely recommend Community to anybody looking!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Georgia’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Georgia’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
