Validus Senior Living

The activities are still pretty limited however we do know normally they have a bunch of things going on. This community came highly recommend to us, they made the intake process very easy and smooth, and the location has worked out great for our family.

We chose Inspired Living because the lady we talked to [name removed] was awesome and kept in touch with us. It is also within 2 miles of where they lived previously and they are very happy here. I would recommend to others looking.

If you've never had any experience whatsoever with Alzheimer's' or dementia, know that the things that you think are possibly occurring due to lack of involvement with the facility are actually what the resident is doing themselves. For instance, they give my loved one two options for an outfit each day. She'll choose one and then add things later in the day, or change her outfit entirely. And memory care residents have a tendency to share their belongings, so don't bring anything expensive, including jewelry or clothing. My loved one had an expensive pair of sunglasses, and now she has $5.99 pair because she probably gave hers away. For anyone having a loved one going into memory care, be outrageously patient, but know that it does get better. Honestly the first six weeks are probably the hardest thing I've done in my life. But Inspired Living tells you all of this up front. Inspired Living is an absolutely sensational environment. The people who work there are aabsolutely incredible with what they're dealing with an a day to day day basis. They're always smiling and willing to talk. I've talked with them for hours at a time about what to expect. My loved ones sate ebbs and flows - somedays she's good, and somedays she has a hard time. But they keep the residents really involved, and my loved one has made friends. They even created an advocate position for her, because she took really well to helping new residents get acquainted with the facility. At the end of the day memory care and dementia sucks. But Inspired Living is the best place for her. She's safe, she's protected, and she's fully taken care of. She loves the food there. Comparable to other memory care, it's expensive. But the residents are monitored 24/7, and its a smaller facility with only about 55 residents. It's expensive, but it's worth it. One of my dear friends happens to manage a large memory care facility, and during the interview process she told me to ask if they just give them medication to calm them down. Inspired Living does not, and that was extremely important to me. I didn't want my loved one to be pumped up with drugs to make someone else's life easier. They use discussion and redirect the patient instead, as well as other tactics instead of giving them medication. There's a surgeon in the area whose wife is at Inspired Living after being at two other memory care locations, and that speaks volumes to us about the care here as well.

Inspired Living at Sun City Center is a very calm and quiet community. The staff members are great about responding when we have had any questions or concerns. We love it there

We toured this community and liked it very mucn. The tour was great and the staff was very professional. They were able to answer all of our questions.

It is overpriced. It was a roomy and engaging community. I would change the under staffing and overpricing in the community. My loved one was there for a short amount of time. During this time frame the communication with the staff was excellent.

Based on my experience the atmosphere was very caring and orginized. Communication

This is the best place to put your loved one. I would recommend them to others. The communication was very good with the staff. They worked with my loved one's dietary restrictions. They had activities available for the residents to choose from.

We chose Inspired Living because I really liked the people, they all came out to talk to us and I just got a good feeling and thought it would be a good fit. My mom is getting great care here and they have been great with communication, especially during covid. Next week we can finally go inside so we are looking forward to that, but based off of zoom meetings and visits, it seems like a great place. I think we made the right choice and I would highly recommend them.

The staff very attentive and treated my loved ones like family. They had a hugging wall that you could hug your loved one safely. They had lots of great ideas to still be able to visit during covid.

The few times we have been able to visit the community it was clean and there were no fowl smells. The staff members are very friendly and cooperative, and we had no issues with the care services. The meals seemed to be pretty good, and they are being hand delivered to their rooms right now due to covid. They do have a lot of internal activities. They have a wide variety of things to keep in interesting. They also have arts and crafts, quiet times and live entertainment.

It is a good place to go, if you need to go. I think they keep the residents engaged and care by the staff is good.

We toured Inspired Living LWR on [date removed]. As with Hidden Lakes the details in the design for memory care are very evident. There are some touches at LWR that are unique and provide even more supports to residents. The outdoor space is inviting and accessible to residents, providing opportunities for exercise, fresh air and sunshine. With the adjacent Assisted Living community there are also options for escorted walks along the lake and visits to the other amenities.

I was very pleased with my first tour of Hidden Lakes. The community was active and residents seemed engaged. The facility was clean and attention to detail was clear in the design and decoration. The outside space was very nice and provides a safe and secure place for residents to spend time out of doors.

It's a nice facility, and it's a step up from the traditional nursing home. They engage the residents in memory care. I would recommend this community to others

My visit today at Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes was great! A big thanks to [name removed] for the tour and the interview. [name removed] was a breath of sunshine in this confusing search for the right facility for my loved one.

I chose this facility for my brother because it had a separate facility for memory care and although he has had a stroke, his cognitive abilities are just fine. I was impressed with the outdoor choices such as a pool, pond, walking paths, lanai, etc. I am hoping for some pool therapy for him.

From what we could tell the activities were good, this was a newer facility and they were well organized and they seemed to have good policies and procedures in place. The rooms were very nice, and our loved one said the food was always fine.

I would tell friends that this is a great community for your loved one. The community gives great care; are very nice, and friendly. My mother says the food is good, they give coffee with all meals if the residents wants. Live music, arts and crafts, holiday celebration parties, cultural celebrations, and themed parties and events are some of the activities offered.

Dog park and religious services a plus!
