What this means for your family
While the rehabilitation team is frequently highlighted as a strength, the facility struggles with significant consistency issues regarding patient care and hygiene. If you are considering this facility, I strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit to observe the cleanliness of the halls and the responsiveness of the staff during off-peak hours.

While some families praise the rehabilitation team and recent improvements in leadership, others report severe concerns regarding patient neglect, poor hygiene, and inadequate staffing levels. The building itself is frequently described as old and in need of maintenance, which remains a consistent point of contention for visitors.”

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff does an incredible job rehabilitating patients. The therapists and nurses are well-trained. The place is old and could use some touching up, but the staff is making the most of it.”
“When we were searching for rehab/post acute facilities about 2 months ago, reviews of most places were horrible, including Ivy Park. Insurance dictated available facilities and we had to put our faith in the hands of staff. Thankfully, Ivy Park proved to be an OK place for our loved one.”
“Do not send any loved ones here. Promise the world yet this place allowed my father to fall multiple times and then put him diapers making him incontinent.”
