Overview of Ivy Springs Senior Living Buford, LLC

Ivy Springs Senior Living Buford, LLC is a 90-bed personal care and memory support facility located at 3177 Gravel Springs Road in Buford, Georgia. Operating under the administration of Anita Khan since its licensure in June 2023, the community offers structured residential assistance. The property is situated 4.4 miles from the city center in a car-dependent neighborhood with a Walk Score of 5, making vehicular transport necessary for off-site errands.

Oversight data from the Georgia Department of Community Health indicates that the facility originally earned a Deficiency-Free Survey certification, establishing an initial citations-per-inspection rate of zero. However, more recent public records outline a cluster of regulatory scrutiny, recording four distinct complaint investigations between March 2025 and September 2025. While the community has a brief two-year operational history, the specific substantiation outcomes and localized details for these recent state visits are not visible in the available index summaries.

Clinical operations are maintained through 24-hour staffing and on-site nursing services. Environmental safety features include secured access entryways, emergency response systems in all apartments, grab bars, and a complete building fire sprinkler system. The physical plant accommodates standard residential amenities such as a central dining hall, private dining spaces, and areas for religious services and wellness programs.

Daily accommodations encompass three restaurant-style meals, organized social events, and scheduled local community outings. This environment focuses on personal care support within a modern campus infrastructure, though the dense clustering of recent state investigations underscores the importance of close administrative review by sponsors. No formal state fines or license suspensions are documented in the available public file summary.

Prospective residents interested in a newer physical environment should directly request copies of the 2025 complaint logs from the administrator to evaluate recent operational adjustments. This setting is appropriate for individuals who do not require acute hospital-level interventions and whose representatives can independently verify staff consistency
