Inspirit Senior Living

Built for Senior Housing on 12800 Spruce Tree Way, are 120 apartments. I have always wanted to see the inside of the Gardens at Wakefield. Here I am in 2024 as a 3/4% age of a Senior. I have had the pleasure of touring and renting my dream apartment home. Little did I know how kind and receptive this community would be. Filled with activities, lovely living spaces, recent!y renovated, numerous amenities, with 3 meals a day. The campus also has beautiful canopies of River Birth trees and shrubs. Come on over, you won't regret it.

The Rutherford met our expectations and more. My sister never complained. They had hospice care ready for us. My brother attend family parties with her. To us, everything is expensive but worth the services because we could not take care of her in our home.

General residence I would recommend. We picked this place because of cleanliness, vibe of the place, and staff.Not so sure about the memory care unit.

I was very impressed with the Gardens at Wakefield when I toured it for my parents. It is a clean, modern facility with a beautiful garden and surprisingly large apartments. My parents were able to move into a newly renovated apartment overlooking the garden. It's so nice that they will have weekly housekeeping and all meals included! The staff and residents have been kind and welcoming to my parents as they settle in. We like how close the Gardens is to lots of shopping, a great library, and YMCA.

The staff at Woodview are amazing! They go above and beyond to care for my mother and father. I am very grateful to have them there as residents. There could be more in-facility activities offered if possible. Also, the transportation could have more times available. The activities they have for musicians to come in are good when they do come.

I love living here. I love my apartment the activities are good and she knows how to work with elderly people. staff is nice and friendly. I love going to the museum downtown

I visited this community and it is very warm and welcoming. It has also been remodeled and has a new, more modern look. The staff is friendly, the residents seem very happy and while I was there a lot of activities were taking place. It’s also nice that is it located in a quiet residential area and they have beautiful gardens in the back to enjoy time outside in a pretty setting.

Our family was in search of a new memory care community for our loved one. We visited Wyncote Place on a friend's recommendation. The staff members were friendly and knowledgeable. It was apparent that Wyncote Place was the right fit. Last weekend was the move in and we continue to be impressed by the way this community exudes caring, respect, compassion and nurturing. Our loved one is happy and comfortable. This was the best choice for us.

I found communication with staff and administrators easy, productive, and enjoyable. Administrators were receptive of questions, responsive, and helpful. I believe this a safe, clean facility that cares for its residents and treats them with respect and kindness.

It's a stable community that keeps your loved one safe. Wyncote was on my short list and they had availability.

Had a wonderful experience moving in my mother in law. Everyone was super helpful and welcoming! She is loving her new home and family. We are thankful we found a wonderful place where we know she is well cared for!

My mom felt connected to some residents from Branford which is the reason she chose this facility. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Thank you Cedar Woods for giving attention to my mom when she needed medical help. I only wish my mom was alive long enough to have enjoyed being there.

The management team is great. They treat everyone like family. The building is clean and very well kept. Food is good and the aides are great. I wish i would have found this place sooner. Cant say enough good things about this place!

Our experience has been outstanding. My Father passed after being in the facility for 3 months. He was well attended while there. The staff has been gracious and extremely helpful in guiding us to a higher level of care for my Mother. Although this is a difficult time for my family, we have come to rely on Hilltop to not only care for my Mother, but to help us adjust as well.

My loved one is a resident at The Gardens and most everything has gone very well. I would recommend this facility to others.

The staff is heavily involved with the care of the needs of patients. The care is loving and thoughtful. They have been very helpful to me adjusting from becoming my wife’s caretaker for 8 years to being a lie to visit and enjoy quality time. We Spend time in and out of the facility.

I do love the place she's in and the people who care for her. I pop in at all hours of the day and night. As far as the Value for the money I don't know that there is a correct number. You expect a certain level of care regardless of the cost. Everything we pay for has earned a 5 and we pay for that, no matter how. Good care is priceless.

I am greeted by name almost always. My mother is always greeted by name. If I am with my mom in the dining room, the chef will ask me if I want to join, Ask if he can bring me a bowl or a plate. He will prepare a meal for me specifically. The chef also ask my mother if she “wants something else”. There have been times when she doesn’t like the chili or something else and he has offered her a different item. The nurses are wonderful. They check on her, they bring her medication on time and are friendly and talkative with her. The laundry is done and folded. The room is tidied and cleaned. The salon will fix her hair or anything that she needs. The PT is done on a regular basis. The activities are planned and she is encouraged to join. The place is not fancy. It is, in a way, plain. Simple. But that is part of it's charm. There is a key pad to enter and leave. There is often not someone at the front desk (at least when I stop in) but that seems to be ok because the nurses seem to take care of anything my mom needs. When the front desk person is there, she is very kind and welcoming. But the place seems small enough, that if I ever need anything or have a question, someone points me in the right direction. The place is not Immaculate. But it IS super tidy and more importantly, it feels very homey. My mom is doing much better here than she did at her last place. Why is that? THE PEOPLE. Older people need to be talked to, asked after, they want to have conversation. It is very easy for them to feel invisible. Climb into their shell and just “be”. They must have people to ask them to participate, ask them to join in, insist that they make a gingerbread house, or paint a picture, play a card game or work a puzzle. They must be encouraged. I believe that KP is doing that. People. It is all about the people. My hope is that Kanawha Place is paying their people well. If they are not, and they can do better, I hope they do so and do so soon. Keep your people! Keep your cleaning staff, keep your nurses. Keep your therapists. Keep them! Consistency is everything with older people. Right now KP has a really good staff. If they keep it, they will keep getting more clients, if they lose them, they will lose clients. At least they will lose me. I want people who want to be around my mom. Want to be working with her, not sitting on their phones or griping about their jobs. I want people who care. Don’t we all? The cleaning staff, the hairdressers, the social activities directors. These are the “things” that will keep your rooms full. People don’t care that there is a movie theatre or a fancy sitting area, they care that there is someone sitting with their loved one, asking them how their day was. So far, I think Kanahwa Place is doing that. I hope they continue. As they continue to be kind, caring sensitive humans, I will continue to sing their praises. It is hard to find good people. Very, very hard. So when you do, keep them and pay them well!

The final cost would be nice. It was more money than expected. Just saying that everything is an extra cost. Friendly staff- very clean facility- everyone has been very helpful in answering questions. The day we moved my stepdad in staff and other clients would stop by introducing themselves.

My wife has fit right in and seems happy. I couldn't ask for more. It has great attitude, very capable staff, very clean, good services, and anything you think your loved one would need.
