Distinctive Living

We're very happy with this community! It is a nice looking, clean place, and all the residents and staff have been very friendly! Everyone has really made her feel at home, and she is loving it here. She was recently nominated as the Valentine's Queen For The Day, which really tickled her. We toured quite a few places when we were looking into options, and this place was just a great combination of room type, amenities, and location for the price! I'd definitely recommend taking a look at it if you are searching.

I liked it a lot! It was a little out of the way for me. I liked the staff. I liked it a lot, and the director was wonderful. It had a very rural setting.

Mom hasn't been here long, but so far she is really enjoying it. Something we noticed right as we walked in for our tour is that there seemed to be a lot of people out socializing, and an active community was something Mom was really wanting. It's a great looking place, and the staff are very friendly. We did Thanksgiving dinner with Mom, and the food was excellent. The chef came out after the meal to chat with everyone, which I thought was a nice touch.

Very nice facility. It was my first choice except they were so expensive. The place is gorgeous, but I saw people bored there too. I didn't like that it cost an extra $250 a day for high level of care, which I knew that my mother would need. The place we ended up choosing has an all inclusive care package.

What we like the most about Inspired Living is the cleanliness and the friendliness of the administrative staff, they are great. Where they are lacking is the ratio of residents to caregivers. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families but they need to get more caregivers

They are nice and helpful. Room sizes are nice. I have never eaten there so I don't know about the meals.

Quality of care is a hard one to rate because it varies from caregiver to caregiver. I would give an overall rating of 4. Some caregivers would rate as a 5 while some rate as a 3. Yes, I would recommend this community to others and I have done so already. The search is a hard one because what the top people think or hope is the truth about their facility is not always the case. To the tenant of your facility it is tied to the care givers. Based on my experience (not just at Inspired Living) the peace and comfort of the tenant is tied to a great degree to the care givers. I have seen them all, the really good who care, the really bad that are just putting in time, the dishonest who will steal from you and lie about you, those who do only what they have to, etc. I am sure you know all this so I will stop here. All the staff from top to bottom are ultra important to the tenant at any facility like yours.

My mom doesn't utilize much. Stays in her room most

The initial interview was very informative and understood. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and we were able to enter and put things in. Staff got back to me in a timely fashion.

Staffing always a problem & the attendants weren't proactive in changing out Depends so they waited until the resident was wet & all the clothes needed to go in laundry. I noticed many wet pants in my time there. Way too much trivia on TV since there was little interest in it. Many more active females than men so activities skewed toward them. The outside garden out back was a favorite of many residents. Musical presentations were also well attended & appreciated by residents & family members

My wife's been a resident now for almost a month. Majority of the staff are pretty nice. The meals don't seem to be warm enough when they're presented to the residents. Otherwise I'm pretty satisfied with this facility compared to others I've visited.

I'll just say what I heard my dad say often which was he didn't feel like there was much "medical attention" he was given. I'm not sure if he was expecting more of a hospital type environment where he was constantly getting blood pressure checked and vitals or what but that's just the phrasing he used. In general, we were very pleased with the room, and we thought it was a very peaceful environment. I'm very grateful I chose the Harper for my dad to spend his last two months of life.

Some of the kindest most caring caregivers and housekeepers work here. Administration response slow. We would recommend this community to other families with caveats. Kind , caring ,attentive staff. Clean and friendly facility. Could improve on activities. Obtain written clarification of fiscal arrangements in advance.

Friendly staff, clean, safe, friendly residents, good food and activities. I always know that mom is taken care of

I have placed my aunt in Mira Vie. I would recommend this senior living location in West Milford, NJ. Everyone is very friendly and the facility is very nice. The location is conveniently located from my home which makes visiting very easy.

I have a family member at the Brick location. The facility is amazing. The staff is exceptional ,specially the activities staff they go way above and beyond for there residents. [name removed] the director is one in a million. She goes out of her way for every resident. She makes sure to keep the resident engaged daily and with many fun activities. [name removed] is also a amazing part of the team and excellent assett to the residents.

We chose Inspired Living at Kenner because it was clean and had access to the outside area. Ways to improve: Hire employees that encourage participation. Do more than bingo. With outside access they could have planting by my Mom misses her garden.

I would recommend. We were attracted to them because of the location, price and willingness to respond timely to our needs.

Very nice facilities and clean, strong value for money. Tradeoff is few activities and pretty lackluster food for independent living. I'm torn between a 3 and 4 overall. Because the price was just much lower than the other options we saw and that weighs heavily in the decision.

Overall staff are very friendly and helpful. My mother is very happy there. The facility is a little old. The new managers have said they intend to update it but the work has been slow to start.
