All Is Going Well

What I like about the community is that they are better trained for Alzheimer and attentive. I sense that they care about mom and the residents. Some are much better than other but they are still learning. The facility is nice and the memory care is on the first floor with an enclosed courtyard. It has a covered porch with a fan, for the hot days, trees that have shaded and flowers too. They can look or go outside and it offers a lot in terms of surroundings.

The Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes was a nice place. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The memory care unit was depressing and we felt like we were not ready to have my father there yet, so we ended up moving him but from the short period of time that he was there he enjoyed his stay.

A Good Respite Stay Experience

My mother in law was here for a respite stay, and for the most part it was a good experience. They have a good staff here, they were very helpful and caring. They do a good job with keeping the community nice and very clean. She was cared for well here. She enjoyed playing bingo, and she would do brain stimulating activities with the staff. The memory care they provided her with was good. This is a community I would recommend, it worked out good for us.

Inspired Living is perfect if you're looking for Assisted Living that looks and feels like an upscale hotel. Great location and the staff is excellent. We choose them for the above reasons and they have a nice staffed fitness center. I gave it 4 stars since it's a little pricey and so far we haven't used the activities, hopefully that will change.

The first few weeks my parents were at Brookdale Quail Creek were rough but now they are getting used to the surroundings. Dad is in the memory care unit and mom is in independent living.
