Distinctive Living

Staff and leadership is very patient focused. Very caring. Also very active with great programming every day. The room sizes are big enough. My mom has a shared room and she is fine. Most pay a little more but have a private room. All good. Activities are wide ranging. Music, educational, crafts, art, etc.

Ivy Ridge is either better or as good as any Memory Care Assisted Living Facility that you'll find in the St Pete/Tampa Bay area. For my wife, it's perfect. My only slight issue was that the room didn't come with a closet, so I had to buy and assemble a wardrobe furnishing.

All of management and staff really care. Chef [name removed] makes the best meals I've ever seen. Absolutely tons of activities...basketball (sitting), painting, crafts, pets come visit, recently dogs and lizards, outside entertainment, hula dancers, male and female...it's endless fun there. They don't just plank folks down in front of the TV. Plus, [name removed], top nurse, helps families find meds for the best price. Nothing but positive vibes there. Maintenance guy [name removed] is also the best. All staff greets residents by name, chats, hugs, I could go on forever. If you look up on FB, [name removed] of Venice, they post TONS of photos. I am very friendly with staff since [name removed] passed. Forever, I think! Anyone who puts loved one there will never be sorry. I visited alot, so I know what went on! Endless fun, I wanted to play myself, ha! [name removed] had a couple bad falls, he was energetic, but it did him in at the end. Hospice was there...also amazing to both of us.

Needed to find a place for my dad after coming out of the hospital cause we could no longer care for him and had little time to research. [name removed] and [name removed] at Inspired Living Bonita Springs were extremely helpful and knowledgeable during the process, it’s only the beginning but I would recommend!

Very professional, caring, kind, knowledgeable, approachable staff. Bright beautiful and safe facility. I looked at 4 others in similar price range and this was the best. That said, unavoidably, stuff sometimes happens. The occasional fall. A resident who develops aggressive tendencies toward others. A mix-up in laundered items. But the staff is very quick to take appropriate action. I have friends with loved ones in a more expensive place and they are less satisfied. And the same issues occur.

Parveen is a wonderful Nurse always listened to her Resident and very helpful always kind to assist with any needs possible whether if its medication support in any way to her Resident family and her staff Thanks for everything you do does make a difference God's blessing ??

This place is great. I really love the outdoor space, the caregivers are smiling and it’s the same price no matter the care! P.S. It also smells good! I would recommend this place for a loved one. It feels more open then others.

This is by far one of the best places I’ve visited for mom. It’s clean and everyone is so nice. Even though we didn’t choose this location because mom wasn’t ready I must say the tour and the assessment was my favorite part. The tour was exceptional and their health director is splendid to be around mom adored her. Thankful for the experience maybe mom will move there eventually.

I toured this Memory Care facility and I was totally impressed! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, also one of the cleanest Memory Cares in the area. The staff was doing music activities with the residents and everyone was smiling and clapping along. It is also more affordable then some of the others in the area. I definitely recommend Inspired Living.

Mom was in assisted living until her memory started declining more. With compassionate conversations with the director and staff, we moved her into the memory care side. It was the best decision for this point of her life. The staff are attentive, caring, communicative, and make sure she is participating in many activities daily which is great for her physical and mental health. Love Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch.

The staff were very helpful in getting my mother moved into assisted living. I don't know what I'd have done without them.

Admin staff is extremely helpful and acts in a very timely manner The facility is extremely clean and everyone is always friendly.

We feel lucky to have found Ivy Ridge for my father. He seems to have "found his tribe" here. Always compliment his meal which is important to him.

Staff has always been caring and attentive to my mother. Facility is always clean. Food looks very appetizing.

We love the staff. So caring and kind.

Ivy Ridge has been an excellent place to take care of my sister. They not only help with my sister's dementia but are excellent in managing her diabetes. Staff is phenomenal.

Living at Inspired Living has helped my mom so much with finding a routine and a good balance of medication. We are so thankful for all of the things they do to help take care of her and make her days more fun.

Ivy Ridge is the best of the best. As a volunteer in senior living, I spend a lot of time in communities. Ivy Ridge is one of the best. the care, dining, and activities are top-notch.

great place

Everyone here is so nice and caring!
