Inspired Living Review

From the very beginning when we moved Dad into Inspired Living, we were met with the friendliness of the staff and were made to feel like we were apart of the family. During our time there, staff consistently went above and beyond in providing the best care for our dad. The love they have for their residents is genuine and that is what helped me to rest easier knowing that he was very well cared for and loved each and every day. They (staff) all became extended members of our family and we are forever grateful for their dedication and commitment to providing their residents with the greatest care possible.

A big Thank You

My mother lived in memory care Inspired Living Lakewood Ranch for about 3 years (Mom moved back to Europe in March) and I can truly say the staff is doing an amazing job. The level of respect, empathy and kindness they demonstrate every day is truly amazing. It is very very difficult and demanding to work in memory care, but the staff manages to always be friendly, patient and helpful. Apart from a handful staff the turnover rate of the care taking team was at times a little much. Nevertheless I felt my mother and the other residents always to be in the best hands. What I really am thankful for is that the staff always gave me heads-up about how she is doing, what she might need and bring to my attention any potential medical needs, changes in her moods or behavior. They are our family's eyes on the ground. A heartfelt Thank You and a big Bravo to all of you! Please continue your wonderful work, it is so immensely appreciated : )

Exceptional Care at Inspired Living LWR

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for the exceptional care and compassion shown by the staff at Inspired Living LWR. My Dad has been a resident now for the past 1.5 years+, and it has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for our family. From the moment we stepped into the facility, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my Dad felt at home, taking the time to understand his unique needs and preferences. Whether it was helping with daily routines, providing meals, or simply being there when he needed them, every interaction was marked by kindness and genuine concern. The facility itself is beautifully maintained and the caregivers go out of their way to ensure my Dad is comfortable in his apartment. We greatly appreciate the personalized attention given to each resident. What truly sets Inspired Living LWR apart, however, is the dedication of its staff. They are not just caregivers; they are fri

Great experience!

5, we loved them! My dad passed away [date removed] If we need to put my mother in memory care or hospice, we will go back to Inspired Living. They staff was very caring and accommodating with my parents. From travel to outside appointments and making sure they would attend facility activities. We had a GREAT experience with them.

Highly Recommend

Inspired Living is a Memory Care Community that has an amazing staff. A friend of the family is there and they are beyond happy. 5 Star highly recommend. The activities and dining and the nursing is top notch. Ask for [name removed] for a tour. The location is close to 75 and in the heart of Bonita Springs. A great long term option for a loved one with dementia/Alzheimers. It feels like home.

Field trips

I am a local high school teacher/ club advisor. We visit Mira Vie once a marking period and spend time with the residents. We hand out, make a craft, paint nails, and plant flowers with the residents. Everything is also clean, the staff is always friendly, and the residents are absolutely amazing. When I email the "Activities Manager", she replies right away to schedule events! It is a pleasure to work with her.

My grandmother has been in Inspired Living for about a year, and I can’t express enough gratitude for the compassionate care she receives. The staff treats her with kindness and respect, ensuring she’s comfortable, engaged, and safe. They go above and beyond to provide personalized attention, and I truly feel at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. The facility is always clean, and the activities help keep her mind active and spirits high. Thank you to the entire team for making this difficult transition easier for our family. Highly recommend!

Our families experience

My father was there for only one month sadly before he passed. I only got to visit him two or three times. I chose Ivy Ridge for its interior and exterior appearance. I would rate the cleanliness and appearance a 5. I liked seeing many of the residents participating in the activities, so a 5 for activities. The administrators and staff were very helpful and friendly, so a 5 for administrators and friendliness. The overall experience grade goes down due to the residents there. One man was very loud and annoying. Another woman was violent and attacked one of the nurses. There were some very friendly residents though too.
