She was mostly bed ridden but could sometimes be moved to a wheel chair. The staff treated her like their own grandmother sharing family stories as well as providing care. Walnut Gardens was very supportive of family members. We were free to come and visit whenever we wanted and for as long as we wanted. I was always treated with respect and was given updates on my mother's condition. The senior staff member also texted me when necessary with information. The house is cleaned thoroughly every week. It is a bright and airy home with a sun room dining area and a pleasant backyard. They decorate for all of the holidays to add to the cheeriness. They also have activities with specialists coming in to lead games and music. Of special note is Mr. Al who brings his guitar and leads sing-a-longs once a week. The birthdays of residents are always celebrated with little parties and many family members. It is not just me who was impressed with Walnut Gardens. Every Kaiser nurse, home health aide, and even the doctor commented this was the nicest place they visited among the many they know. I considered that high praise from professionals. If you are looking for a place for your parent or relative, I strongly recommend you visit and consider Walnut Gardens. I know first hand the challenges facing family members with a loved one who is reaching the end of their life. Issac and his team made that experience for me so much easier and I am truly thankful to him and everyone on the staff.

The staff is caring, sweet and attentive to all their clients needs. The meals are prepared daily by the staff and are all home-cooked and tasty. The little "extras" that the Walnut Garden offers are what make it even more special. From exercise classes, to musicians serenading the clients, to holiday celebrations, this home treats their residents as family. The owner, Isaac, is kind, caring and makes each resident feel special. I would highly recommend the Walnut Garden as a wonderful assisted living home. We really could not ask for a better place for my mom to be as she recovers from her illness.

The Ivy Park at Burbank is an exceptional assisted living community. Our family is uniquely…read morepositioned to speak to the team's consistency and character. For eight weeks, one of us was present in the community around the clock, observing the staff across shifts, circumstances, and both ordinary and challenging moments. This is not a single positive encounter, it is a pattern. One that reflects genuine care, professionalism, and reliability. Yes, there are amenities. Yes, there are activities. But what truly makes this place special (the secret "sauce") is the people, especially the kitchen and dining team. The Front Desk: The Nerve Center Passing through the lobby, you may first encounter Jennifer, unmistakably one of the community's faces. She operates like an air-traffic controller - eyes everywhere, aware of everyone - yet with effortless warmth and calm authority. She greets residents and guests by name, always adding a personal comment that makes people feel genuinely seen. Jennifer notices wanderers or anyone who looks uncertain. She arranges escorts to rooms, dining halls, or helps with... anything. When I purchased a dinner ticket, she already knew my mom's name and room number. Jennifer is unfailingly upbeat, her radiant smile setting a tone of calm, safety, and care. (I am convinced Ivy Park employees must pass an emotional intelligence test, a MENSA-level aptitude exam, and a memory challenge.) You might also meet Victoria and/or Michelle and Nicole (forgive me if I have the names wrong). All oversee the floor with poise, attentiveness, and approachability. They consistently go the extra mile, answering questions, guiding guests, or offering quiet reassurance. Their presence communicates that people matter here. They're kind and dependable, always ensuring residents are well cared for. In the early morning, Dana stands out with her alternative style and dry, understated humor. She is especially focused on safety tracking entrances, exits, and sign-ins to keep everyone accounted for. She is firm but fair, and I really liked her. Both Dana and Nicole also share remarkable memory, always recalling our names and room number. Liza (or Lisa? Ugg! Overnight gal!) was always a bright, kind presence, someone it was genuinely nice to see. We shared a sweet connection, and her warmth stood out. One evening, Connie, Lisa, and I chatted late at night. Connie is steady, compassionate, and supportive, a friend to her coworkers, whose empathy creates comfort and trust. Dining: Where the Magic Happens The dining experience at Ivy Park is so polished and consistent that it could be mistaken for a four-star hotel. Martin, overseeing back-of-house operations, and the Chef, leading the kitchen and developing menus, complement each other perfectly. They create an experience where high-quality food and efficiency converge beautifully. The atmosphere sets the tone before the first plate arrives: leather-bound menus, crisp linens, white napkins, and fresh flowers on every table. It feels intentional, serene, and welcoming. Meals are inventive, beautifully presented, generously portioned (really nice), and delicious. Whether shrimp scampi, potato-leek soup, salmon, or chamomile tea, the kitchen's care and pride are clear. French fries are CRACK. On occasion, something doesn't land, so there is an all-day menu that offers alternatives. Every member of the dining team greets residents and guests by name - three times a day. The atmosphere is a little like Cheers: a place where everyone is known, remembered, and welcomed. The Dining Team Jonathan is focused, conscientious, and attentive. He checks in to ensure everything is perfect, crouches to make eye contact with residents, especially in wheelchairs, and serves with pride. I am his biggest fan. Savannah is confident, observant, and highly intuitive. She remembers orders, adapts to unpredictable moments, and navigates challenges with grace. She "rolls with the crazy" in a way that makes everyone feel safe. She's very cool! Tyler is courteous and gentle, bringing quiet kindness to every interaction. Once he managed a complex order while adding three more mid-route. When two rude residents muttered they'd "kill" him, he never broke professionalism and simply smiled and continued on. Veronica is cheerful, patient, and purposeful. She offers options (reheats tea endlessly with a smile) and manages feisty residents with humor and timing perfect for a sitcom. I adored her! Caitlin is precise, diligent, and unfazed by difficult personalities. She once flawlessly took orders for nine people, multiple requests, without writing anything down. Calm, confident, and proud of her role, she is phenomenal. Josefine brings cheerful, fun energy to mornings and confidently handles detailed orders. She assisted my sister's guests impeccably in the private dining room. Together, this team turns dining from routine into an experience of dignity and connection.

I've written a previous review of this place and now a new unpleasant development has occurred. I…read moream considered independent with regards to handling my own medication and up until now my meds were delivered to this facility pretty much trouble free. There was an incident awhile ago where there was a mixup with one of my medications and it was misplaced. Long story short I ended up paying for a replacement refill... no big deal. I have had numerous other prescriptions filled since this incident without any problems. Now out of the blue without any warning I was told I had to be present at the time of my medications being delivered to this facility because Ivy Park can't be responsible for my meds. I might have understood their reasoning if they would have addressed the issue at the time my meds were misplaced. Waiting months after the mixup with my medications feels a bit like this facility wants to get more money out of me and having this facility administer my meds would be very expensive. I have also heard that sometimes the med tech is late with handing out the medication. I'm in a wheelchair with a form of muscular dystrophy that is very advanced and to have to go to the pharmacy to get my prescriptions would be difficult. I've lived here at Ivy Park for 5 years and never had this problem before with regards to having my prescriptions delivered. I feel management here should have discussed the issue with me before a prescription I needed was delivered to this facility today. I'm lucky someone here accepted the delivery of my medications today as clearly the manager would not have. I get it that it's all about money but I feel management should take into account my health and not suddenly deny care I have been getting for the past 5 years. Then there's the issue with my meals, because of my advanced form of muscular dystrophy and being in a large wheelchair there is only two tables I can have my meals at due to the size of my wheelchair. Well management doesn't feel I warrant a designated table for my meals and today I couldn't eat in the dining room because of two people having their meal at this table. I have been previously told that I could wait until the people are done with their meal and then I could sit at the table or I could take my food to my room to eat. It's a medical necessity that I have a table that will accommodate me during my meals and I don't understand with the amount of money I spent here to live that there can't be some way to accommodate my needs. And for all you vegans out there Ivy Park has taken the vegan option off the dinner menu at this time. I am very consistent with the care I need ( always on time and respectful of the caregivers who are helping me )

The Community Director Jonathan gave us a tour and was treated by the residents like an adored rock star as we walked through the halls - making introductions with residents, explaining the extensive amenities, along with the robust calendar of daily activities for residents to participate in.

I love it here!" Last night I got a text from her saying that she attended a mini classical concert in one of the residents rooms (that resident is known for her musical talents).

The rooms are generous in size and wheelchair-friendly, and many have beautiful views of the courtyard and small private patios for mini gardens. There is a restaurant-style dining room serving up award-winning meals--and ample desserts! The activity and living rooms have a cozy, family feel, and there is always something going on in the way of games, fun exercise classes, lectures, movie showings, field trips, and special events. The greatest asset, of course, is the patient and caring staff of the family-owned facility. Community Relations Director Jonathan is warm and welcoming. Health Services Director Laura is professional and generous with her time. Javier the Dining Services Director takes pride in his cuisine. The caregivers are loving and nurturing, and they keep lines of communication open. But perhaps the best indicator of the quality of The Gardens is how happy the residents are. They extol the virtues of the place with no prompting. (One woman said she'd tried five different facilities, and this was the best.) They're eager to welcome new residents into the family--by the third day, lunch-goers were calling my mom by name to sit at their table. As with most assisted living places, there is a sliding scale of services based upon need, and when a transition to a higher level of care is required, Safe Haven offers memory care with a higher caregiver-to-patient ratio. Safe Haven is safe and secure, with its own small garden and dining area. Caregivers encourage residents to spend most of their day in activities with others rather than remaining isolated in their rooms. I'm delighted I found this new home for my mom. She's still in the process of settling in--she's been there just under two weeks--but I can already sense this is a perfect place for her.
