    My dad was a resident here for about 10 years. He suffered from Parkinson's. During his time…read morehere, he went from the unassisted level, to the assisted level to the full care level. I must have visited this facility at least 3 times a week for a decade! I live nearby so it was convenient to walk there with my kids and visit my dad and the other elderly residents. We got to know many of the folks there, all the nurses and nuns as well. The front desk receptionist was always courteous and welcoming, the foyer is spacious and simply decorated. This place always felt more like an apartment building than a "nursing home." It was always fresh, bright, and clean. The floors were always so shiny and immaculate. We checked in and took the elevator to my dad's room. The living spaces there were always neat and organized, with laundry services provided. Residents can make their rooms as personalized as they'd like. We saw some lovely, well-appointed living rooms and bedrooms. The common areas are pristine and comfortable. We enjoyed seeing the other seniors there and took pleasure reading to them, helping with meals in the communal dining room, and even conducting Bible studies! The kitchenette has a couple tables, snacks and drinks for the residents. There's also a well stocked library and games. The nuns of the Little Sisters that run the facility provide spiritual support and many activities to keep the folks there encouraged and entertained when appropriate. They also have yard sales and festivals throughout the year. The nursing care was amazing and we felt confident in the safety and healthcare my father received. He was cared for in a dignified and gentle manner as he went through the stages of needed care. The staff made his adjustments for further medical assistance seamlessly. They certainly made a difficult situation much more easy to handle. Our minds were set at ease knowing my dad was being treated with compassion and love. Beautiful grounds surround the buildings, where residents can talks walks, pause for prayer and meditation and just enjoy being outside with nature. I'm so thankful for the extraordinary care my dad was given by the incredible people here. We couldn't have chosen a better home for him.

    Very pretty place. Very nice staff. Activity Director is fabulous! The atmosphere is very…read morecomfortable and home like. They have a sweet little sunroom with some parakeets who sing all day. Residents go on outings often with Activity Director. I wouldn't mind living there!

    My loved one has been at this place for nearly a year. During that time I have been amazed at how…read morepoor practices are allowed to continue without being addressed. Most of these issues would be simple enough to fix if someone in management from the headquarters level down to the actual facility level would just follow through. Lots of excuses and lots of apologizing but that doesn't fix problems. Some of the CNAs are very caring but most are just collecting a check. There is no real 24/7 management so the staff becomes even more lax when management is not around. There are no clear responsibilities for the CNA's. They trade off jobs amongst themselves instead of dividing patients up so that they are responsible for specific patient care. This leads to lots of finger pointing when something goes wrong and it is hard to determine who dropped the ball. The sad thing is that the company that owns Ivy Ridge (Sabre Health) operates about 40 of these places in VA and the Carolinas. It's also sad that senior care in these states is allowed to be so bad. For instance, VA does not even have mandatory patient/staff ratios so I also blame the VA legislature but I guess that shouldn't surprise anyone that the gerrymandered popularity contest yields poor governance.
