Ivy Park at Santa Monica

Ivy Park at Santa Monica sits in a quiet neighborhood between Pacific Coast Highway and Wilshire Boulevards, close to UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center, shopping, the ocean, and restaurants, and the building itself has a Mediterranean style with palm trees out front, which gives a warm feeling when you walk by. The place provides a range of senior living services suited to many needs, whether someone wants independent living, needs help with daily tasks through assisted living, or needs more support with memory care or dementia.
