Distinctive Living

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.

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.

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.

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?

[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.
