Validus Senior Living

I have recommended Inspired Living to others in the past.

Overall has been a good experience, mom doesn't like it, but they're helping her, and she's just a bit confused as to what is going on. Staff comes in to clean up daily, laundry weekly, any issues I report and they're fixed. While there is some visible exhaustion, I can understand. All the staff are helpful and someone is usually easy to locate, nursing staff is good as well. External nurses and doctors have been good. As far as I've seen, care quality is fine, they are watchful and usually can assist in a timely manner. Food looks fine, probably fine. Of course mom complains about it, but she mostly ate waffles, muffins, or soup before going in. While my mom sometimes holes herself in her room, the staff does try to get them out for activities and exercise. There seem to be plenty of activities including art and bingo. They even did a diamond art event, and I gave her a bunch of those to work on when she was bored. It is getting a bit out of my price range, but there seems to be plenty of stuff to do and it seems to be a good place for elder memory care. I would recommend them to other families.

Our loved one has been moved to a different community [community name removed] but Inspired Living was great. However, when she fractured her femur it became hard for her to navigate the large facility and she became more agitated. Not due to staff but rather size of the facility. Both places have been great for mom. If she was walking we would have left her at Inspired. Great staff and program.

The Memory Care Facility is outstanding!! Staff are caring & very attentive to my husbands needs and condition. He is happy & safe!! I I am so grateful for the care he is given 24-7! Inspired Living Lakewood Ranch is easily 5 Star !!

The Inspired Living at Tampa community is really a family. when it comes to the value for cost they provide great care but it is very expensive and the prices increased by 10% every year. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend them to other families.

Mom moved in 2 weeks ago and I saw her today for the first time. She is well groomed (much better than we were able to care for her at home). She was smiling and attentive to everyone and everything going on around her. The facility is meticulously clean and all the residents were either smiling or napping - I didn't see a single resident that I felt needed attention. I am and was greatly relieved - I truly believe Mom is being cared for better and will be safer than she was at home with multiple caretakers.

We like that Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes is close to our (my sister an myself) homes. Staff is extremely friendly. [name removed] at the front desk remembered my name on my second visit. Memory care is very caring and conscientious.

Everyone is very kind and helpful. Our only concern has been with the large turnover in staff in the last year.

My loved one is currently a resident at Inspired Living at Bonita Springs and the experience has been great so far. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The staff, care services and meals are also great. We are very happy with Inspired Living Memory Care at Bonita Springs and would recommend them to others.

Mom has been there for 3 months and so far so good. Plenty of trips and activities available. Staff is friendly and helpful. Her room is cleaned twice weekly. I have switched her to the Dr on staff there which is very convenient.

Both of my parents were there for a few months, whether it is for a few months or a few years this place was absolutely amazing. The employees and the patience that they have is top notch. I need to give a huge shout out to the front desk [name removed], she goes above and beyond her duties and you know it’s not just a job to her, she truly cares about the residents. I highly recommend this place to anyone that needs to place a member of the family because they take care and treat everyone there as if they were their mom or dad.

The staff at this facility are very caring and compassionate! It is very clean and the activity staff are great with the clients! I recommend this memory care as I have visited mostly all facilities in Pinellas county and this one is far above the others and I am very hard to please as I have high standards.

My mom complains about the food a bit but.. it's healthy so you know, not enough salt! Haha. Very friendly, caring team including IL local leadership. Outdoor area for the facility is large...nice.

I would highly recommend the facility to others. All of the staff (front desk, salespeople, caregivers, dining room staff, activities personnel, salon, PT/OT staff, and the Executive Director) are ALL phenomenal. My mom's condition has improved dramatically since she moved in at the end of December. She went from needing 2 people to help her with almost all ADLs on the maximum care plan, to almost being completely independent now in her wheelchair and making progress with her walker. The staff is so empathetic, kind, and motivational. She had a very difficult time adjusting in the beginning from living completely independent in her house to here (the result of a car accident). The staff was so welcoming and never gave up making her feel at home. The quality of the food seems to be good, but I know my mom and others complain from time to time. It may have more to do with being finicky or selective than the food itself. The move in process was very easy and accommodating. They roll out the red carpet (literally) and the entire staff greets each new resident as they come through the door. It is also by far the best value for the money in the area. I can't say enough good things about Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch.

Some care services personnel are prompt and loving. Some are slow and/or overworked. I've had instance, 2 major ones, when I waited so long (18 minutes or so) I couldn't hold it any longer and wet the floor.

We had to move my 95 year old father from another facility and the improvement in his care is amazing. The staff is so engaged and caring. The activities are unbelievable. The strength and awareness that my dad has reclaim is unbelievable. Such a positive experience.

Inspired living welcomed my Dad with open arms even before my sisters and I moved him from FL. The facility was immaculate, bright and cheerful just like the staff! [name removed] was amazing to work with from the very beginning tour of the facility, to answering all of our questions and filling out paperwork, introducing us to all of the staff and the transition of putting Dad into memory care. The daily activities and options for the residents are top notch. We enjoyed the live music, milkshake Mondays, and the fact that memory care residents could join the more active community for certain events! We lost my Dad way too soon, but the amazing staff took wonderful care of him in the short time he was with them. I would highly recommend Inspired living to anyone looking for a place for their loved ones!

Ever since my father moved in he has never been happier. He is thriving and getting the care he needs. All the staff are very friendly and supportive. They take the time to get to know your loved one and treat them like family. I can rest easy now knowing my father is getting the care he needs and deserves. Thank you!

The staff becomes family to both the resident and their families. They had a small memorial for mom in their gardens where we dedicated a bench with her name on it. Many of the staff stayed way past their shift and shed many tears, remembering our sweet mom. They are wonderful with redirecting the resident, engaging them in many activities, and treating them like royalty. Communication is stellar. The staff is always available to families for a conversation, reassurance, or a hug- whatever is needed. The move-in process was amazing. I worried because it was around the holidays, but they made it easy on both Mom and myself. I especially loved how I had to fill out a detailed packet a few weeks before mom moved in so that they could share the information at staff meeting and post her picture to begin to get to know who she was as a person - present, and past - prior to her moving in. The meals were unbelievable. Mom loved everything and her appetite was much better once she moved into Inspired Living. They post the menu at the front of the dining rooms so that both the resident and their family members can see what is served that day. When I joined Mom for a holiday dinner and the monthly parties, the food was absolutely delicious. Housekeeping is incredible. If there was ever an accident, they take care of it immediately, the place is always clean. In fact, the housekeeping staff treats the resident with such love and dignity, just like all the others. I would recommend this place 1000 times over. Anyone considering Inspired Living should know that their loved one will be well taken care of beyond their wildest dreams. Daily activities keep them engaged and their minds busy. I was given six amazing months with mom that I would not have had otherwise had she stayed here with me. It's such a special place and for six months I got to be a daughter again and Mom got to be a mom again and I will forever be grateful for that.

Visiting at inspire is truly an inspiring event. The kindness begins at the front desk and a warm welcome. The staff’s kindness shown to each resident is amazing. A kind word, a soft touch, a smile or a hug is shown to each one. Laughter can be heard as residents gather in the dining room for dinner. Music plays and dinner is interrupted with songs and laughter. A delightful experience for all.
