Distinctive Living

Our sister has been a resident of Inspired Living for over a year. We visit her every week and so far have not had any grievances. The food is exceptional. The staff is always alert and have the residents best interest as their priority. Residents are always clean and the facility is also very clean and a safe environment. I would recommend Inspired Living to anyone asking for a recommendation.

Our mom is a resident at Inspired Living Tampa. I have to say our experience has been really great - thoughtful and attentive care is married with warmth and compassion. The staff's attentiveness and dedication has been wonderful, especially when she had medical issues and follow up. The facility also offers a variety of engaging activities and events to keep residents physically and mentally active. There are regular exercise classes, arts and crafts sessions, musical performances, and even outings to local attractions. These activities provide opportunities for socialization, stimulation, and overall enjoyment.

Earlier in the year, we unexpectedly needed to find a memory care facility for dad. We looked at several facilities in the Bradenton area and narrowed it down to three. Other family members visited these three locations and we were all in agreement that Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes was the best facility for dad. It has a spacious court yard for him to get around or just sit and enjoy the outdoors. Room for him to roam up and down the hallways. Just a perfect fit for him. When we met the staff on our visits, they were friendly and outgoing to all of us. On dad's first day, they welcomed him with the red carpet treatment. The staff is warm and inviting with dad and with anyone that comes to visits him. It is a difficult decision to place a love one in a assisted living facility but we know that we made the right decision with Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes. Thank you to the staff for making dad feel at home and giving a peace of mind for his family.

Our situation is different than most. We had to find a place for our daughter who is only 56 years old. Back in May she and a friend traveled to Spain for vacation. Then she got progressively worse. She was unable to remember her password and steps at her work which she had done for years. Then in June she was placed on short term disability to try to figure out what was the matter. The short of it after much testing, it was determined she had Lewy-body dementia. After looking at various facilities, we picked Hidden Lakes where she is currently. The Staff welcomed her warmly and she seems content. A difficult decision was made easier by the caring staff and friendly atmosphere.

Ivy ridge is tons better than [name removed] where my mother spent her first few months in assisted living. First and foremost the folks at Ivy Ridge CARE. Mom feels more at home, surrounded by family. I was extremely worried at first when Ivy Ridge had a wholesale management shake up just 3 weeks after I moved mom in. [name removed], the new executive director, has been more than happy to help us. He’s a straight shooter, working through any concerns we’ve had. From proper Medicaid billing, to handling scheduling for VA doctor appointments … [name removed] has been on top of it. The medical director, [name removed], has put the proper protocols in place to not only ensure mom gets her meds daily but also ensures her hearing aids are charged and in her ears, and that she’s wearing her compression socks. Might seem like a small thing, but without both mom’s health was deteriorating. It’s really encouraging when I drop by weekly to take mom out how many aids come to give mom a hug. All the folks CARE.

We love Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes. The staff is very caring and patient. The dining options are great, the activities are both fun and therapeutic. My father is happy at Inspired Living and loves the large outdoor gazebo and gardens. The facility is safe and secure. Highly recommended this place.

There is nothing negative I can say. Every single person on staff treats my mom as if she were their own mother. From the directors and doctor, to the cleaning staff, it is obvious that everyone loves their jobs and the residents. The meals are delicious. The activities keep everyone with various interests engaged and active. Communication with me has been outstanding. Both my mom and I are treated with respect and I am always thanked for being engaged in her wellbeing. I would recommend this place to everyone with a loved one needing memory care. My mom was moved from another facility to Inspired Living Tampa and has been here for over a year. She went from being drugged and slow to no drugs, active and thriving. I just can’t say enough about how comfortable I am with my mom being cared for by everyone on staff.

Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes facility is very clean, my uncle’s bed is always made. He is fully dressed in street clothing and changed daily. Staff greet you as you enter and leave. The place is a locked memory care facility which is so hard to find. My uncle is a walker and was looking for space for him to move. They have a wonderful outdoor grass space with pathways, benches and shaded areas for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia to walk freely within an enclosed area. They do frequent scheduled safety checks of the yard. They have separate dining rooms for those that feed themselves and others like my uncle that needs cues or to be fed. They report to me when my uncle did not eat much of his breakfast. I can get a snack bar and some milk during the in between times. They staff that pass out meds have been good at administering meds to him which was a struggle for my aunt. As long as my uncle is able move on his own this is a safe place for him.

We love Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes. My siblings & I can rest at night knowing my Mom is loved and taken care of. The staff really cares about all their residents and families. 5 Stars from me.

The staff was very helpful moving us in. It has been emotionally challenging to place our family member in a memory care facility. The staff has been kind and understanding throughout the process. The facility is very nice and has a large outdoor area. We feel good about Inspired Living at Sun City Center and we appreciate all of the help that we continue to receive.

I find everybody kind and considerate, and always available for any guidance or assistance that I need I feel my mom is taking care of very well. Her room is always clean. Her personal hygiene is very good she enjoys and loves the meals that she is given three times a day. The activity room is always full of people and things to do. She enjoys bingo and companionship of other residence. She has also expressed how much she enjoys their outings. that the home brings them on my mother has a very complex medication schedule. She has diabetes that require strict attention to medication’s and monitoring and to date I feel that the med techs at the home have done an excellent job. She seems to always be on schedule, and balanced with our blood work due to their attentiveness.

I moved my loved one to Inspired Living after (2) other facilities were unable to provide the level of care needed. I was told that if this staff couldn't handle it, there's likely no staff in Tampa Bay that could... and they were right! It's been several months and he's adjusted wonderfully and to see him smile and engage with the staff - who have taken the time to ensure his safety, comfort and contentment - is invaluable. Thank You Inspired Living as caregiving is a difficult job that is all too often under appreciated.

I am the son of a resident at Hidden Lakes and I cannot say enough good things about the community. The Executive Director [name removed] is wonderful. The entire care team is wonderful. We were not sure what we were going to do with some financial constraints and our desire to give dad the best life we could. Inspired Living was a god send for us. Thank you for always being compassionate and helping our family. Thank you for making my dad smile each day.

The hardest thing I have ever had to do was move my dad in to a community. I never thought or wanted to do this. I could not have chosen a better place or my dad. He is happy and well taken care. He had a rough couple of months adjusting but now he has made friends and loves it. Thank you to [name removed] at [name removed] for guiding me through this difficult time.

I did not want to leave my home. I was very scared and nervous. I have lift at my home for 57 years. The adjustment took sometime , but now I love Inspired Living. I enjoy the activities with [name removed] and [name removed]. The staff has treated me like family.

I visit the facility this place is remarkable! I would recommend this place to any mom dad ! The staff was welcoming the residents seem pleased ! If your looking for a place I stronger recommend Inspired at Kenner

From the first tour I took of Inspired experiences at Inspired have exceeded expectation. Our sales executive was very accommodating and the staff beginning with [name removed], the ED, told us what to expect and she delivered. The building is spotless and beautiful. The staff knows [name removed]'s expectations and they deliver a great experience. Chef [name removed] and the beautiful dining room deliver the experience any restaurant would be proud of. After our experience in another assisted living, which was mediocre at best, we have been very pleasantly surprised at the whole package Inspired brings.

Finding a new place for my 90 year old Mom was stressful I’m theory. BUT once my cousin and I met [name removed] and saw the facility at Inspired Living Alpharetta, all our fears/stress disappeared. All the employees are friendly and welcoming and they really go above and beyond to make it easy for you and your loved one. Plus they have Wine Wednesday! Seriously they are AMAZING!

The staff treats my parents like family. Best choice to have them live at Inspired Living. Lots of love by all of the staff on a daily basis. Been here a long time and my parents are very happy. This community is really wonderful.

Inspired Living is a wonderful place to have a loved one! The staff really cares about the residents and help in anyway they can. The Thanksgiving dinner was very nice and the food was delicious. Mom is very happy there and has met friends and enjoys the activities.
