John and his company Errand Assistants are outstanding! His Carmel / Monterey-based business has…read morebeen a HUGE help for us that don't live in the area. We have used this company several times to assist clients and our family in the Carmel area with a variety of important needs that John was able to provide. Honestly, it can be difficult to find a business that is willing to provide a variety of delivery / courier services, while being super responsive, flexible, and willing to think "out of the box" if necessary. John and his company do just that. He is a supreme pleasure to work with, always provides professional service, and with a great attitude...AND, great communication throughout the entire process. We highly recommend his company's services!

What a great place to have a trophy or plaque made…read more I was looking to have a plaque made in a hurry, and knew that it would have to be someone within driving distance of Hollister. Yelp to the rescue, and within minutes I was on the phone with Valley Trophies. They were able to describe all of the options to me over the phone, and guarantee a pickup within the week. They saved my bacon in so many ways. Getting there was fairly easy, though it was a rainy day and parking is pretty tough in the part of Salinas where they're located. I ended up having to park a few streets down and cut across some alley ways in the rain, but it was worth it. When I walked in they were producing the plaque and had a few questions for me to answer. It was done within minutes, and I was on my way looking like a super hero, and not the forgetful procrastinator that I really am ;). Their staff is friendly, their turnaround time is fast, and I just can't say enough good about them. Stop by and get your next trophy, award, or metal detector.

it's been about a year since I wrote a review. I think we have had mom here for three years now…read more While there is some turnover, there's enough consistency with the staff that she sees the same faces on a daily basis. These people, the caregivers, go out of their way to not just pass out pills, but they stop and they visit and they love on our mother. They brag on her puzzles. I don't worry that she doesn't have any social activity because so many people in her room each day plus she has a great experience going down to the amazing dining hall where delicious foods are served and the company she shares is excellent. She lost her speech to a stroke, and yet the people that she deals with treat her as though they can understand every garbled word that she speaks. They are so good to her. We are so thankful to Monica zuniga for lighting up Ivy park for us. I'm not sure what we would've chosen. Had it not been for Monica. That girl is a dime and deserves a lot of praise. here is a Monica story. My son flew into San Francisco for business and drove down to surprise my mother. Someone snapped a picture. I sent the picture to Monica from my phone and ask her to run it on photocopy paper and give it to my mom. But no, not Monica! She had the picture printed professionally and put it in a frame and surprise my mom with it. That's Monica. Always going above and beyond I watch her around the facility while I'm there visiting and she is so friendly and engaging with every one of her residents. They all know her and adore her. I don't know what Ivy park does to hire people, but their process is clearly very thorough. I've never heard anyone use a sharp tone with an elderly person, they turn everything to laughter and keep people happy. The gal that runs the bus, I can't think of her name, but my goodness she is absolutely amazing with the elderly. She makes them feel like she's their buddy and their peer while she keeps them safe and entertained. I should get the names of all these people and write a little blurb about each of them because they are so incredible. Lizbeth is one of the caretakers that brings medication to my mom on the daily and talk about a precious soul. She makes my mom feel so adored and my mother absolutely loves her but then she loves everybody that works there. Thank you, Ivy park for such a job. Well done.

My mom moved to Ivy Park after we determined she could not live by herself at home. She lived here…read morefor seven years, and Ivy Park did amazing job of taking care of her and providing for her medical needs. This facility has activities where residents socialize, and eat meals together. I should point out, The staff did a wonderful job of providing meals and care during the Covid pandemic. As my mom got older and the level of care increased, The staff was wonderful when communicating with us how they planned to address her issues. I highly recommend Ivy Park as a live in facility, when one cannot live by themselves.

The letter carriers here do a great job getting the mail out. No one really knows what a hard job…read moreit can be. They must first sort out a huge box of mail into numerous tiny slots . How they can do it so quickly amazes me. Then once they hit the streets they are pressured to deliver each piece of mail at a very fast pace. There are other staff who hide out watching how quickly the mail is delivered. If you are a new employee and not fast enough in delivering the mail, you will be fired. Not to mention the stress of walking the many miles to deliver mail. And the stress on the body carrying the mail on your shoulders.it is not an easy job at all.

For 2 hours, the instructor explains step by step on how to paint the picture of the night while making it fun. The event in Marina is held at Daddy's City Diner. You can purchase bottled beers and wine as well as the regular menu items while you paint. I highly recommend just getting an appetizer to share since there is not much space on the table and it is easier to eat while you paint. I've had such a good time each time I went that I'm already registered for more!
