Great place for mom!

Great place for mom! I moved my mother into Inspired Living at Royal Palm Beach a year and a half ago. She was only the fourth person to move in there and has been there ever since. Let me start this by saying that I am my mother’s only child and we are extremely close, so therefore I would never ever place my mother in a community that was not caring, loving and obsessed with doing the best they could possibly do. My mother was diagnosed with dementia approximately five years ago and the disease has progressed. She is almost 96 years old and I can’t begin to tell you how the staff takes care of her. The resident engagement director is amazing. They are kept active with games and exercises throughout the day, Live entertainment and three delicious meals plus happy hours, snacks etc. It’s Friendly , family oriented with top-notch attention and care. Stop in and visit them.

caring place for mom and dad

Inspired Living has a very caring staff who are very kind to the individuals who live there. I've visited many times and have seen how the staff are. they're very nice to the residents and that's important to me. as far as activities; they have musicians who come in, painting and exercise classes, dancing with the residents, etc., and there is often music playing. most of the residents are dementia patients, so they may not understand a lot. it's just nice that they're taking initiative to engage them. they are not understaffed, they have quite a few people helping the residents eat and engage them in activities. there's a lot of staff participation. Inspired Living is better than where she was before. I am local, so I do visit everyday and I'm able to talk to the staff in person regarding my loved ones care and needs. the director of nursing has called frequently over several days to check on my mom and see how she's doing - my mom is currently recovering in a rehab facility after a fall. overall, I would recommend to those who are looking.

We Are Very Happy With The Place That We Choose, and My Loved One is Happy Here

This is the best place and we think it is amazing. We have been very happy with our experience here. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones and already have. My loved one loves the food and it is the best. They have healthy meals with large portions. Bingo, rosary, social hour, exercises, and more are some of the activities for the residents to choose from. They even have a shuttle bus to take residents to shopping centers. The staff are very courtesy, knowledgeable and professional to work with.

Based on the other places we toured, I would say Inspired Living was probably one of the best around as far as I could tell. It was amazing, but it was just not the right place for my loved one. It was too big and would have been overwhelming and confusing to her. It was too bright - I would have expected more soothing colors for dementia patients. It was also quite expensive. But it was very up-to-date, and they had lots of great stuff as far as using technology for helping the residents and educating people.

Inspired Living provides the peace of mind

We went with Inspired living because eventually my loved one is going to run out of money and they do accept Medicaid after the first year of self pay so she will not have to move facilities or rooms. The location has been great for me as well and it is close to my home. The facility is very clean, the staff are great, and they have a ton of activities provided. I would recommend them to others looking.

i toured inspired living and thought it was a beautiful community. it looked like a resort and if i was of a certain age, i would live here myself. should the need arise, this is the only community i would choose for my mom. we chose another community because our loved one needed a certain level of care and inspired living's memory care unit was a bit understaffed. i had concerns that my loved one would not get the attention and care they needed.
