Validus Senior Living

My brother-in-law, who has Alzheimer’s, has lived at Inspired Living for the past two years. He is so happy! His care has been excellent. The staff are well trained, the food is good, and his needs are met. He sees a doctor every two weeks, goes to restaurants and outings and is busy through the day with activities. I highly recommend Inspired Living.

I had a very good tour with [name removed]. She answered all of my questions with confidence and I felt I can believe the answers that she provided. Location is extremely accessible which was a big plus. Is a top contender on my list.

When I visited there were very friendly,caring staff and talking with residents. I felt like this was a home and not a facility. Very large beautiful courtyard! If your loved one wakes up late they can still have breakfast, flexible dining not like other facilities. Open door policy with all managers they are available and they listen,especially [name removed]. [Name removed]

Very clean community. They have unique activities for everyone. COLLEGE students come over and engage with residents,resident seem to love the students. Menu has a variety and flex able dining hours help My dad when he wakes up.late. Thank you [name removed] for all your knowledge on dementia and selling your community. I'm glad he is at Inspired Lving.. [Name removed]

Love this community. I see daily interactions of caring staff with residents. The training the staff have to complete is very strict and helpful. The community is beautiful,putting green,large courtyard!

Incredible facility; it's beautiful, spotless, and extraordinarily well run. Staff appear to be exceptional and the residents happy. We look forward to getting settled and getting to know our new family.

Nice, new facility. Many special touches about it. All day dining 7 am to 7 pm. Had swimming pool in back and green preserved area so it wouldn't change, nice area. Excellent memory care area, people looked very upbeat and well cared for. If they had a two bedroom unit available, it would have been a top contender. Actually, it still was a top contender because of the quality there.

Loved this facility. Only 5 years old. Lots of active and high functioning Memory Care patients. Great outside area. Nice rooms. Very transparent with their inspections. Rooms were nice.I feel like this would be the best fit for my grandmother but they are strictly private pay and don't use medicate/medicare.

I love this place!! Very informative staff and very helpful. It’s beautifully done with a large area for loved ones to wander safely. I love the locator watch that guests will have to wear. It lets them into their room only. Very safe!

[name removed], [name removed] and [name removed] were all wonderful and came to meet my Dad at his home on the same day we toured. The staff, residents and environment were like NO other. We felt at home here. The air was fresh, the size felt manageable. I felt like my dad would not be just a number and list of needs and meds. His interests and personality would be valued and respected here above all else.

Great place with excellent staff. Mom has improved since moving into Inspired Living. They keep her active and involved in activities. Only drawback is activity area is too small when they have most residents involved.

When I toured Inspired Living Memory Care Facility, I felt at easy, [Removed] and staff were extremely helpful, kind and understanding of my Mom's needs. The entire building is safe, secure, new and all the residents were smiling and happy. Met a lot of the staff and they were very welcoming. Inside the units are very modern, tile floor, sensors in room and track key device for locating their residents. Was really impressed with the well thought out concept of Memory Care and Safety for all who reside in their new home.

My mother in Law resides at Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch. We recently weathered hurricane Irma with Mom. The staff has always been dedicated but they outdid themselves. The organization was superior and the building was secure. [Removed], the on sight leader, marshaled her troops and everyone went calmly about the business of making sure all guests were cared for. Every staff member went above and beyond their own specific jobs because they love the residents. It was truly evident. I would like to personally thank: [Removed] and so many more. This was a well oiled machine of wonderful people.

This is a good community for my husband. I like the staff who are taking care of my husband. The community is always clean. We like the nice very of the menu and I like knowing that he likes everything they offer. He does participate in the activities with the other residents. I would recommend this community for other families.

Inspired Living at Sun City is a beautiful place on the outside as well as the inside which is bright and cheerfully decorated. The food is great, they offer a wide variety of healthy choices. The staff is very friendly and caring and attentive to her needs. There are plenty of activities that the staff encourages the residents to participate. Her favorite is going out, they provide transportation to go shopping and other outside activities. There are nice walkways to enjoy the outdoor, seating available to relax and enjoy the company of other residents or sit quietly and enjoy the beautifully maintained landscaping. I would highly recommend this community to others.

This is a good care for my mom. We like everything about the community for care the menu has a lot to choose from. We like that they have good activities for her to participate with the other residents. This community has a nice environment. We would recommend this community for the care of a loved one.

Updating my 2015 review (at which time I gave 5 stars) - if it was possible to give more than 5 stars I would. The behaviors and needs of those afflicted with dementia do change over time, and Ivy Ridge has stayed in step, making changes in my aunt's care to meet her needs. I cannot visit often, so how do I know this? It's because of communication. Emails, videos, photos - we get updates all the time so that I can see my aunt and hear her laugh and read about her daily life ... each day is truly inspired living for her. Ivy Ridge provides an enormous amount of activities all day every day. Residents are encouraged to participate or at least to be present. The staff knows the personalities of each and knows how much level of encouragement is needed, or when to back off, because they know each one's interests. Great thought goes into planning these activities, often adding a twist to make them unique, and, therefore, very enriching and never boring. Dancing, singing, crafting, holiday and birthday celebrating, games, volleyball with a balloon and other sports, movies, playing with a Wii, animals who come to visit - the list is endless. For those who can there are field trips, lunch at restaurants, community involvement such as delivering Meals-On-Wheels. But Ivy Ridge's excellence is more than just keeping my aunt entertained. Maintaining her physical health is a priority. The staff is highly skilled in using positive motivational techniques to promote success in my aunt's physical therapy, to stimulate her to eat, to encourage her to get out of bed to start a new day. At all times the staff maintains a positive attitude and shows great patience. The greatest gift that the staff at Ivy Ridge has given to me is that they make me feel as if my aunt is the only resident. This shows the level of personal one-on-one care she receives ... as do all the other residents because I, of course, know that my aunt is not the only resident living an inspired life - just looking at their very active Facebook page shows me such wonderful photos and videos of so many other residents having a blast and living an inspired life. Thank you Inspired Living at Ivy Ridge!

Every time I visit Mom at Inspired Living I am glad we moved her there. The staff is the best and monitors the residents closely. They provide exceptional care, The maintenance workers were very helpful getting Mom moved in and settled. There are plenty of activities to keep the residents busy all day long. Mom feel at home there The food is good and if someone does not like it, they will get something else. Beer and wine are available at mealtime.

This is a fabulous community, and my mother in law is doing very well since her move here. We couldn't be any more pleased with all they have done for us. She is safe, and receiving good care. Everything is developing very well for us in this community. This is a community we would recommend it.

My mother is getting settled into this community, and I do feel this is a good move for her. I know she is safe, and receiving good care. The staff have been very responsive. They are attentive to her, and her needs. Also very helpful. When I visit the community, and her room are nice, and tidy. This is a brand new facility, so everything looks great. This community has worked out well for us, and I would recommend it.
