My daughter and her friends perform music here on a regular basis, so I've visited this facility…read morenumerous times, and I've been pleasantly impressed by the kindness and humanity I've seen displayed there. As an outsider, I've witnessed how attentive and discreet the staff are when caring for the residents, and it's restored my faith in people. As a facility, it tries its best to give the residents a normal life filled with activities and events. The activity coordinator, Ms Julie Bello, does a beautiful job of coordinating events for the facility, making sure that everyone is entertained and occupied. From interacting with the staff, I also understand that many of them had parents who suffered from Alzheimer's, so this work has special meaning to them. My mother has advanced stage Alzheimer's, and I understand how important it is to be patient and understanding with Alzheimer's patients. In my opinion, Carefield is a home with a heart because of its people. They're all kind, amazing folks trying to do what's right for the residents. I hope this place remains the same when I need a place to go myself! Today, May 9th, they celebrated Mother's Day a day early with an MD brunch--a formal event with champagne flutes, live music, and a buffet style lunch for residents and their families. It made the residents feel special even if they didn't have any visitors.

I am so grateful to Eunice, Narcy, and the care team at Carefield. My Dad stayed at Carefield for…read morethe last six months of his life. The Carefield staff was incredibly kind and attentive to him and did a great job communicating with me and the hospice team. He required round the clock care including incontinence, needing to be moved in and out of a wheelchair, and assistance eating. It was a lot. They have daily activities for residents as well as parties on major holidays such as Father's Day where they decorate the facility. One thing that is unique about Carefield Pleasanton is they only have memory care, no assisted living. At most facilities the assisted living area is nicer and roomier, and memory care is tucked in a back corner. Since Carefield Pleasanton is only memory care there is much more room for memory care patients to walk around, including an outdoor courtyard. I'm in the position of having both of my parents requiring memory care. I can honestly say if I end up in the same position I would want to have an experience like he had at Carefield.

I'm skeptical of these glowing reviews, so I'm writing my own…read more I took my dad to a brunch and learn there. It was impressive. They have a new culinary director which sounds luxurious. The food was delish. Dad didn't love the coffee but he can make his own. :) The staff has been there a long time and the ownership is also long-term which I find stable. There are a lot of pluses, but the icing on the cake was that each of three different residents talked to us in passing, and they were very cheerful and appeared happy. My dad is excited to move in soon, and it's a relief to the rest of the family. We're looking forward to my dad experiencing the Men's club, weekly happy hour, and nightly movies. I'll update my review in about three months.

My father lived in this facility for nine months, during which he fell 13 times, despite my clear…read moreand early disclosure that he had Parkinson's dementia. Rather than revising his care or offering support, the facility ultimately evicted him after his final fall, labeling him a "fall risk"--a fact they had known since day one. They violated legal eviction procedures by failing to give a 30-day notice, and informed me while I was out of the country, leaving my father in the hospital and me scrambling to find a new place for him. The lack of empathy during a vulnerable time was inexcusable. To make matters worse, the facility said the only way they would allow him back was if I paid for a private 24/7 nurse--an expense they knew was unrealistic. This was clearly a tactic to push him out while appearing cooperative on paper. Not sure if Aireen T. is still the director but she is not responsive, professional, caring, or compassionate at all. I had to involve Ombudsman to get responses from her on everything. There are also serious safety and staffing concerns. During a power outage in the heat of summer 2024, the facility had no backup generator. We overheard firefighters asking staff where the generator was, and staff admitted there wasn't one. During this incident a female resident was stuck in the elevator for literally hours on a hot summer day!! It was horrifying. Others, like the woman across from my father's room, were left in the dark yelling "hello, is anybody there?" My family and I went to her to calm her down ourselves as no staff member checked on her or other residents to reassure them during this electricity outage. They are clearly understaffed and many of the caregivers are not certified CNAs, and it shows. Staff routinely defer to residents' refusals for essential care, and hygiene, rather than providing informed, proactive support for those with cognitive conditions. Many times I showed up and I could smell he hadn't showered. When I asked staff why they would say that he refused so they didn't do it. Medication for my father was not consistently dosed at a consistent time which was also a huge problem. My father also experienced racism from two other residents, and when I raised this with the Director Aireen, they brushed it off--blaming the behavior on health issues such as UTI and did nothing to protect or acknowledge the harm done to my father. Aireen and executive management did nothing to soothe our concerns. This facility is not safe, not equipped, and not compassionate. I would not trust them with any loved one under any circumstances.

Pest control finally came out and set traps and told them what they needed to do but they did none of it before I moved out. It was supposed to be a senior complex but it turned into some of everything. Tenants items started to come up missing. Now I don't who or whom did it but things were missing. I know people love pets but my goodness, then didn't do well at cleaning up behind their OWN pets. Pet hair left in the washers and dryers. They would wash their pet items in the washers and dryers. Heck, I got fleas or maybe bedbugs bites, I don't know which is which because I have never dealt with either one of them before. I do know that I through my comforter away.Some tenants expected maintenance to clean up THEIR dog urine and feces when they are looking at their dog doing this. The rodents got in my bed. I went through 4 air mattresses. I didn't buy an actual bed in fear of it being a total loss. I was over charged in rent. I was supposed to pay $1499 and I'm just going to be truthful, my rent was padded. The manager at the time charged $1929.00 in rent when id.gov told her to charge less. It was a lot more going on there by other managers but I'll tell that in court. I lived in a studio apartment and I was charged more than a one bedroom. I tried to write corporate but the packet came back. I have of that I speak of. Have you notice, the owner does put their name on the reviews? I have tried and tried to communicate with them but I can not reach them. Maybe the court system can or maybe they will respond through here. I want my overpayment back the cost for my 4 air mattresses.

First the good- very beautiful building, nice to visit…read more good food, very nice wait staff and chef in dining room. Pretty grounds, flat and good for walking. quiet location. Very kind front desk staff. The cleaning staff is very good and the maintenace staff are also excellent, The Cons- 1-Rent will increase 7-8% every year to the day. 2-If you pay for showers, your parent may or may not get them, maybe 25-50% of the time. They seem understaffed and do not have a transparent way to keep track, report or let family know 3- the elderly must put their laundry into the hallway for pick up which is difficult given that the doors are very heavy and most residents use walkers and canes. 4- Do not rent and apartment on the 3rd floor unless your parent is able to use stairs, the elevator breaks at least once a year due to water issues and there is only 1 elevator to the 3rd floor so they are stuck up there until it is fixed which sometimes is weeks if they can't use the stairs. 5- Since the corporation of IVY park took over this facility, the most of the staff turns over every 1-2 months. you will not get to know a caregiver, they don't even attempt to introduce you to care givers. The management, nursing, and activity directors change about every 2 months so there is very little accountability. the only staff that has been constant is the waiters, the maintenance crew and the front desk. 6- their "fall and call button" is a one way system (no voice) so the elderly do not know if the call has been received and the response can take up to 2 hours or never, so if your parent is mildly cognitively impaired and does not carry or cannot use a cell phone, it is not a reliably safe system. Unfortunately they have not invested in a better and more updated system. Overall, it's very hard to find good care for the elderly and Ivy Park, despite the high cost is a mixed bag. I'm not sure that any other place is better, but just be aware of what you are getting into before you sign on the dotted line.

We got help and the staff said they did not know she was back!!!! She had not gotten dinner the night before nor breakfast or lunch that day or help changing and was thirsty and the bed was awful wet etc! Complete irresponsibility ! She had been calling for help for a long time she said. If we hadn't gone to visit her who knows when they would have checked on her? That being said Maisha was great once we got her to help us . She got her a meal which was eaten right away! . This place is severely understaffed! We and others waited 10 min to get in from the lobby then had to wait to get let out as there was nobody on the floor to help !! We are friends and keep finding her in bad straights when we go visit!! There are no call buttons so the very least the staff could do is check on ppl like her (who can't get up by themselves ) to make sure they are ok . Terrible !!!!

As the primary family contact, I feel like I have a true partner: "Your mom deserves the best care" has been the theme throughout my relationship with From the Heart and they mean it! I am grateful for the support that our family has received from both individual caregivers and from the FTH staff.
