Ivy Park at Sabre Springs

Let me start by saying this. I worked as a manager in an assisted living community many years ago. It’s a great option when your ability to do the things required around the house becomes diminished. A lot of people plan ahead and say, when the time comes, I will sell the house and move into Assisted Living. My father said that. We toured many local communities 6 months ago and Ivy Park was the top choice for its homey environment and friendly atmosphere. He wasn’t looking for a glamorous hotel lobby with granite countertops. The decor was designed to remind him of home. The staff was welcoming. He decided to wait a little longer. Fast forward to 3 months ago. He had new health issues. The cane was replaced with a walker. My sister and I convinced him the time was now. He moved into Ivy Park. Staff sensed his initial reluctance and was very attentive toward him. They encouraged, never pushed. Everyone called him by name. When he showed up for breakfast, his apple juice was waiting at his favorite table. They asked how many poached eggs he wanted today or did he feel like something else. They knew what he liked on his oatmeal. He told me they had the best bacon in San Diego! When family called, they addressed us by name, and had answers ready if we asked how he was doing (We both live out of state). They noticed changes when his ability to walk became more difficult. They called us to let us know what they observed if he was struggling with something. Having a doctor on site was a lifesaver as he was nervous about taking the bus just yet. He gained much needed weight. He wasn’t eating regular meals back at home and he was forgetting to take his pills. Things were great again. Just as he was settling in, his health began to decline suddenly, and unfortunately, my dad passed away a few days ago due to chronic issues he could not control. We wish he had not wavered 6 months ago. I hope families that read this realize that the time to move into assisted living is while y

What a wonderful facility! We have had the privilege of working with residents there and the staff is so helpful and attentive to their residents. The activities staff are particularly good, making sure that everyone is getting out and participating in fun events. The resident services director makes sure that every resident is receiving the care they need and that outside providers, like hospice home health and home care are reporting their current status so that all are on on the same page. It is a joy to work with Sunrise Sabre Springs on a personal and a professional level.

Sunrise of Sabre Springs is a beautiful community that offers multi - level care in one building. The team is incredible there from the sales team to the front line staff. Residents enjoy meals, great care as well as fun outings. I attended a networking event there and was able to meet the nurse and care coordinators. The grounds are modern and well maintained. Residents are able to age in place.
