Distinctive Living

I am concerned about communication with and from Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch. When calling in, staff is always "at a meeting" and when messages are left, calls are never returned. Staff apparently was accepting whatever my sister (Alzheimer's patient) told them without checking validity. She appears to not be showering and skipping other personal hygiene. If communication was better this could be handled rather than neglected. Activities offered seem appropriate and in time she may become more involved. Facility is attractive, friendly and well-maintained.

All the caregivers are friendly and helpful. The one main issue that I have is not exclusive to this community, my Mom is in the Memory Care Unit but is by far the youngest one as it seems the average age for this type of care appears to be late 70's to early 80's. My mother is in her early 70's and has noticed all the "old people" around her and it seems to make her uneasy at times, I just wish there was a place that she felt more comfortable in with a few more residents more her age. The staff has gone out of their way to try and convince my Mom to engage in inside and outside activities. They have worked with my sister and I to help my Mom adjust to her new living situation and have accommodated any reasonable requests we have had.

Very nice facilities. The staff was very active working with the residents. The Sales Director was very knowledgeable in the many aspects of Medicaid and how it related to costs of Memory Care. Lots of activities for the residents. Secure rooms to prevent items from disappearing. The rooms felt open and clean. Enough personal space in the semi-private rooms. All inclusive pricing was easy to understand.

We moved my Mom to the Chelsea at Bald Eagle 2 months ago. She adjusted to her new home very nicely. My Mom is very social - she enjoys all the activities that they offer. My Mom is not able to drive any longer so with the bus transport to go shopping, and other outings, makes her very happy. This place is nestled in a lovely area, they keep the grounds and apartments clean. The patio, gazebo, and sitting areas provide a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy some outdoor time. Also, the food is very good - she looks forward to eating her dinner in the dining area, seated with other residents. I would highly recommend the Chelsea at Bald Eagle to anyone who is looking to find a loved one a place they can call home.

We experienced a very pleasant tour. [Name removed] was very informative and very helpful. Our family member seems to be borderline AL and Memory Care, therefore it has not been an easy chore picking the suitable facility yet.

After touring this facility I decided that it was a little further than I wanted to go. The Administrator I met with [name removed] was very nice and they are more apt to accept Medicaid if your private money runs out. Over all a decent facility.

The 5795/month is a flat rate that includes everything in that all thins are covered & you are not subject to annual rate raises. My mom loves the food & she’s picky!

My visit went very well. I liked the facility and think my mom would too. I am going to set up having lunch with her hopefully this coming week.

Clean, cozy, room was nice size. All the right amenities. Could not articulate Level of care options though.

PROS: Very nice. Has outdoor space for dining. More then 25% of population is men which is good for our family. Close to family. Family members can stay over night. Staff are very friendly and seemed engaged. CONS: Does not have nurse dispensing controlled substance meds so would need to have pharmacy prepackage as daily med dose so would cost hundreds of dollars more per month.

Independent Living room sizes were adequate. Pruperty appeared to be well maintained although some of the decor seemed dated. Beautiful, woodsy setting. Local access to basic services and retail via shuttle. Sales Rep was prepared and pleasant - asked a lot of questions about my needs and expectations. [name removed] just implemented ala carte availability of Assisted Living services to Independent Living on a pay as you go basis, managed via a tablet based network.Overall assessment, I could live here.

The tour went great.

Has a great space for those that like to walk, especially walking area outside. 2 dining rooms, residents are tracked on watches. [name removed] extremely helpful in my search. Decided that it is too expansive for my mom, who has limited mobility though. Also, located on very busy road and could be hard to get to when traffic is bad.

I really liked this facility, but hubby not so much. Musty odors, he said, although I did not note the same. They were gracious under confusing scheduling.

The facility is really top notch and the staff is very knowledgeable and supportive of residents.

My wife has made such tremendous progress being here she is able to come home by the end of the week. The staff is wonderful here they are working with her alongside an outside physical therapy service to gain her strength back which she is doing. My wife loves the staff here they are so nice and patient. After dinner, she goes to play bingo every night she which enjoys. The food she does not like it has no taste to it no seasoning. I would recommend this community

Inspired Living at Kenner is a beautiful community. It would have been perfect for our loved one because it was so conveniently located to our home. We had to choose another community based on what we could pay.

We toured The Chelsea at Brick and it was a beautiful facility. The staff was friendly and gave us a nice tour. We were looking for a place for a brief respite stay. They only had room for our loved one in the memory care unit and we wanted more assisted living care.

Inspired Living was a beautiful and large community. The tour was very nice and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We chose a smaller community that was a better fit for our needs.

The care my mom gets has been going very well. She loves the place and compares it to a vacation experience. The staff are respectful and responsive. They have a system to check on the residents often and monitor them throughout the facility. If my mom is motionless in her room, they check on her. They constantly have activities through out the day and it is well managed. Not to mention the food is great, which is the top complaint of all assistive living facilities by residents. A+
