Validus Senior Living

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.

The move for Mom to Inspired Living has definitely improved her wellbeing in just three weeks. Wish we had done it sooner.

This is a nice community with nice staff members who make you feel comfortable. The community is clean and they make it a nice place to live with good care. The menu is appealing and a nice variety. The activities are the offer to the residents who want to participate. We would recommend the care and the value of this community to other families for a good value

My husband has been a resident for the past 4 months. The facility is fairly new and well maintained and the rooms are furnished with the resident's own furniture for familiarity. The meals are healthy and delicious and there are daily activities to stimulate the Mind, Body and Spirit. But, the best thing is the caring staff! They are all trained to care for memory impaired people and are always willing to help and encourage any resident at any time. I am daily thankful to have found this facility

I am so pleased with the quality of care the staff have been providing my mom and the fact that they have been great at accommodating her needs as best as possible. They also provide her with three meals a day that she has had no complaints about as well as fun activities throughout the week to keep her busy. I would defiantly recommend this place to anyone looking into a great living environment.

We toured this community when looking for my mother. It was very nice and we were very impressed. It's a very beautiful community. They provide private patios in each suite, which is a nice touch. The only downside to this community was the cost. It was way too much monthly for us to afford.

Everything is going great here. We are really pleased with them. The staff has been doing a great job with mom. She enjoys the food as much as she can and she likes that they have a big open field for her to be able to walk around.

This is a brand new community and they have two activities directors that are working to grow the activities offered. They have fresh vegetables. The food choices are healthier and more diverse than they were at mom's previous community. Housekeeping does a fine job of keeping the community clean. The entire staff knows all the residents names and they treat them with respect. The nurses are very caring and are quick to answer my questions. I would recommend this community.

We were very impressed with the facility and the type of care the patients are provided.
