Would recommend this facility

Honestly, I am very pleased with Mira Vie. They do their best to accommodate their residents. I would give most of the categories a 5, but I have had problems with Reentry after hours. They tell me to call the front desk, but no one answers. We pushed his emergency button, but no one came! We had to wait for someone to open the doors on several occasions. On one early morning pickup for blood work, a resident came to open the door. Food: They are showcasing menus from other countries, and my husband does not enjoy that cuisine. However, there is an anytime menu that residents can order from, so he does that, it works for him. I definitely recommend this facility.

Finally a community that feels RIGHT!

I came into community to visit a friend's Mom and from the concierge to the dining staff and activites and the Administrator everyone was exceptionally attentive and warm. The team strives to treat each resident special. They genuinely care for each resident there. I came during thier Mothers Day Luncheon and they really rolled out the red carpet for all the Moms present. There was a beautiful spread of food and assorted drinks. I highly recommend this community to anyone making the decision to find the best place for thier loved one! This community cares!

Exceptional

We were looking for facilities for my grandmother and this place fit the bill. Clean, helpful, and spacious! The staff was so friendly as they led us on a tour of the whole beautiful facility. And its a prime location so we know grandma will be having a good time with people her own age. We’re definitely going to go with Liana House!

A place for my closes relatives

So this is what one of my coworkers reviews placed Liana Living of Sarasota stands out as one of the most exceptional memory care facilities I’ve encountered. What truly sets it apart is its extraordinary leadership team. Their vision, compassion, and hands-on approach create a culture of excellence that is felt throughout the entire community. Under their impeccable guidance, the staff operates with genuine care, warmth, and professionalism, treating each resident with the dignity and respect they deserve. The leadership doesn’t just manage — they inspire, support, and lead by example every single day. I wholeheartedly recommend Liana Living to anyone seeking a memory care facility where strong, compassionate leadership makes all the difference.

Great Assisted Living Facility

I’ve been doing research for my family because we are considering a new beginnings home our grandparents. They are both 88 years old and been married for over 60 years. They both lead a very active lives and want to be more independent. They have become a little tired from going place to place staying with me and my siblings. We arrived and was met with such warmth and inviting greetings. We toured the facility and was very impressed and was shown what a typical day consisted of and was very optimistic our grandparents would be happy here. So I can confidently say Liana House has moved to our top 3 facilities to consider.

Immediately felt like home

I first spoke with the Director of Marketing at Mira Vie of East Brunswick, several months ago. She realized that we were just at the beginning of our search and I also thought at the time they may be slightly out of our search area. Nevertheless she offered to be available as a source of information whether we chose them or not. After months of researching MANY other communities, with an emphasis on memory care, I finally decided to visit and it immediately felt like home. The decor is even similar to my parents’ home - lovely and elegant, in addition to being spotless. The demeanor of everyone we met was warm and welcoming, as opposed to business-like and a hard sell. Her doctor, the Aides and the staff all focus on care and providing the best experience possible. It took her a few weeks to acclimate, as we expected but she is now receiving the attention she needs, has made friends and participates in activities. This was definitely the right choice for us.

Great Care

We visited Liana’s not too long ago. As soon as you walk thru the door there is a welcoming feeling. Staff was very friendly and informative. The facility offers a warm, caring and welcome environment for all the residents. Great staff and leadership that create a safe place for those who need it most. The residents were treated with care and respect. The facility was extremely clean and nicely decorated. For a person seeking for a good and safe place for my elderly relative it makes me feel reassured to know Liana is one I should keep on my list of possibilities. Thank you for the tour . I truly appreciate all the information.

Our Family's Experience

Ivy Ridge by Inspired Living has been a true blessing for our family. The staff is absolutely wonderful—warm, kind, and full of heart (and humor!). Management is hands-on and attentive, creating an environment where residents are genuinely cared for and engaged. There are always fun, meaningful activities that keep everyone busy and smiling. Most importantly, my mother loves it there—something I never thought possible after our difficult experiences elsewhere. I can’t recommend Ivey Ridge highly enough. It’s a special place.

The care givers and activity staff are best I’ve seen.

The staff is all so compassionate and always smiling and willing to help each other and the residents. I felt my confident my mother was getting great care all day and all night long. The residents are all unique and it may not be the place for everyone with memory issues so be sure to go and look and stay for awhile to make sure it’s the right fit.

Better than we could have ever expected

My siblings and I feel blessed to have to have found Inspired Livings Sun City facility! The staff is amazing, the facility is clean and well cared for and I feel like my mom is getting the best possible care, love and attention. Planned activities keep mom engaged most of the day and health concerns are brought to my attention immediately with a treatment plan. Our experience the last 6 months has been nothing short of amazing!

Review for Inspired Living at Ivy Ridge

The entire staff that I have had contact with have been wonderful. The admin, nurses and reception staff are all great. We had an incident with NSH and they all made it so much easier to handle. He seems to be doing about as well as I can expect and even participates in activities which is something he's never done before. They are very knowledgeable about what actually requires more attention vs what his dementia is making him think. No complaints at all.
