The Ivy at Ellington Assisted Living and Memory Care - Ellington, Connecticut

My sister has been a resident at The Ivy, in their Reflections Program. She is very happy there and I am so relieved that she is safe. There are many activities appropriate for her and out trips, lunch etc.
I would highly recommend this community for a loved one.
The staff is wonderful and attentive to every resident.

The Ivy at Ellington has made a huge difference to my family. My mother moved into her apartment here a year ago. The building is quite lovely and the apartments are compact but really well designed to be both functional and pleasant. High ceilings and huge windows make them feel airy and full of light. But most important is the people. My Mom had lived in an independent retirement community an hour away where pandemic restrictions made it feel like she was in prison. Just trying to meet her basic needs (groceries, etc.) while keeping her safe in a place with no support system was scary and enormously stressful. It took me a while to fully realize and adjust to the fact that The Ivy is proactively looking out for the safety and well-being of the people who live there---physical and emotional. It’s well managed, but most important, it’s the caring and warmth of the people who work there that stands out. From reception to resident care, activities, business office, maintenance, to the director herself, people are warm, friendly, accessible and open to problem-solving. That’s been so important in these extra-challenging times. They’ve really embraced my mom and our whole family. The decision to make the move to assisted living is hard. Then you have to find the right community. We’re grateful we found The Ivy, where our mom is safe and genuinely cared about as a person. That’s made a profound difference for us.

We moved my mom into the Ivy a year ago in June.
From the very beginning when My brother made the first call and I then went to the facility with my Mother
To look at the place! We were both pleasantly surprised to see how beautiful and accommodating that The Ivy was. I was so impressed with how the staff and Management was so friendly to is upon our first meeting. My mom was excited then to sell her house that she lived in by herself and to get New Furniture for her New home.With some belongings from her house and her New things she made her apt.cute and cozy..Her New home. My mom has had her ups and downs and has been through alot but I have to say a Big Thank You to all of the staff ..the nurses..the receptionist's ..and management.You ALL
go Above and Beyond and are kind and Sweet to her!
I highly recommend The Ivy @Ellington...Its a good feeling to know that at the end of the day my Mother is in a safe and homelike Environment that we know she is being taken care of!!

My husband’s Aunt Marlene is one the first residents in the memory care unit. She is very happy and we are very pleased with the accommodations and prices. The staff is well trained and caring. The receptionist, Cindy, is very warm, caring and respectful with an outgoing personality. We would recommend The Ivy to anyone looking for a special place for a loved one.

Five years ago my sister moved to an assisted living facility in Florida. Over the years, she had steadily deteriorated which we thought was just a normal part of aging. Four months ago we moved her to the Ivy at Ellington. The entire staff has been outstanding in creating a plan to improve her health, decrease her pain and increase her safety and happiness. Today, when we stop in to see her, she is smiling and enjoying life once again. We could not have chosen a better facility in which to put our trust. Thank you to everyone at the Ivy for all that you do to care for those who need a little help or a lot of help.
