“The Ivey is truly an exceptional place with incredible leadership and staff. The brilliant programming is equal parts education, memory wellness, and just plain fun. She has forged new friendships, improved cognitively, and refers to everyone at The Ivey as her extended family. The Ivey has been a lifeline for our mother and a total game-changer for our entire family.” ~Janice, family caregiver
