Distinctive Living

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.

I think the nursing staff does a good job, by and large. They seem to be mostly strong people. To improve the food, perhaps they could have more meat. Not sure if they serve a whole lot of meat. Maybe they could serve steak.

Cleanliness - between a 3 - 4 - it seems that the areas on the main floor where they would be seen the most by visitors are very clean but there are areas on the other floors that the corners, moldings, and baseboards definitely need attention. My aunt's room is dirty but that's because she won't let the cleaning staff do anything. Friendliness of staff - 5 - Excellent, especially the maintenance workers [name removed] and [name removed]. My aunt is a difficult, aggressive person so I know that she challenges the staff to provide the level of care that she needs - but I've had, on several occasions, issues with getting the nurses to call me back - I called several weeks ago to get a copy of my aunt's medical records - twice - never got a callback - I call to ask status of her care - same thing. Meals/Dining hard to rate because my aunt isn't happy with the food but one of her neighbors down the hallway told me yesterday that she likes the food. Activities N/A my aunt doesn't participate because the activities are on a different floor than she is and she's mostly blind. Mira Vie is the least expensive facility in the area but she still pays a little over [fee removed] for a tiny room a month which I feel is still overpriced - in my opinion ALL facilities are overpriced, some worse than others. Would I recommend Mira Vie? If your loved one is mobile, can see and hear reasonably well with no major health issues that would warrant multiple outside doctor visits, then YES

I appreciate the responsiveness and follow-up of care managers [name removed] and [name removed] are great! And [name removed] at front desk is a gem!!

I find the staff to be friendly and helpful. They seem to have problems with mixing up clothes.

My loved one has lived here for nearly 8 years. She has been very happy. When she was more cognizant. She told me she liked the activities, but that she could do what she wanted to do or not do. I think they do an excellent job of assessing the resident's level of what they can do. The atmosphere is very upbeat and loving. We have been very happy mom is here.

They are doing much better with friendliness. We picked them because of the outdoor area.

I have been here for 4 years. There has been a lot of changes and we are so happy for it. I love the games and people here. They have become my family. I really enjoy the destination dinners. I miss Dean our old driver but the new one is doing great.

The management staff is excellent. They listen and take appropriate action. The day time patient care staff are kind and caring. Afternoon and overnight staff seem not as caring. My first contact at Inspired Living assured me patients were checked hourly overnight and confirmed with me my husband would be shaved as part of his personal care. Neither of those issues are correct. It would be best to have everyone on the same page. For some reason mornings are rushed and some mornings my husband is not given an opportunity to wash his face or brush his teeth. The excuse is there is not enough time. Would you like to be rushed to breakfast with out washing your face brushing teeth and barely getting dressed?

My wife has been there for over a year. The facility is clean. The staff is friendly and willing to do anything you may not find to your liking. Meals are on time. And rooms are kept clean and tidy. Im glad I found Liana's . I feel my wife has adjusted to living there.

[name removed] and I have been here over 1 year and we have no complaints, all employees treat us extremely well. [name removed]and [name removed]are extremely pleasant and professional. The house keepers are very good . Every staff member greets us with sincerity. One thing l do not approve off, staff asking to weighing us and our blood pressure. We do this daily in our apartment and our primary care Dr. Is aware of them.

There is a lot of turnover, which made it hard to communicate, but I think that's pretty standard for this type of job. The facility is great and I would most likely recommend it, but I don't have another one to compare it to. I know they say not to visit a lot in the beginning, but I think the more you show your face they will get to know you better and understand that you are going to be an advocate for your loved one. The more you can communicate with them the better.

Staff is friendly and caring. Director is very competent and tries hard to make sure everyone is well taken care of. The only criticism and concern I have is that in my opinion there’s not enough caregivers on duty to take care of all the needs of the patients.

Disappointed with the facility. We had electricity out in 1/2 of the room. Staff said no one to fix. No one is available for emergency situations such as this? Elevator has been out of service since we moved dad in. Ants in room. Had to wait till next day to treat. Staff seems slow to respond to his requests. For the money he is paying it seems inadequate not to have people on call for services.

Anyone new that decides this is facility for their loved one they should work with [name removed], she makes things happen!! Wonderful to work with!! They all complain about the food but none of them understand about the dietary restrictions. Quality of care is more about slow response.

We liked it. For some reason, the staff changes frequently. But it seems that way with every place. But like I said as soon as his condition got worse, we had to move him somewhere else.

Quite comfortable

We love the aides. Our loved one eats in her room but the food is good. She does not participate in the activities, so no comment on them. The value to cost is average - basic cost is good but the extra service adds up to a lot.

Inspired Living Center is a beautiful facility. It has lots of outside space and has an outside walking path that is one of the main reasons we chose Inspired for our mother. The one bedrooms are spacious and inside sitting areas are very inviting. The dining room is large and although my mother has her minor complaints the meals are plentiful and available all day . I worked with [name removed] and [name removed]for many months and they were very helpful and always available . Now everything is not perfect but minor inconveniences has not changed our minds that our mother is in a safe place and good hands
