Validus Senior Living

I am very pleased with our choice of this community, our apartment is spacious with a beautiful view of the lake and lots of natural light. The complex is brand new with the latest technology and they offer a variety of activity programs. Every service we need from counseling to around the clock nursing is available to my loved one and I on campus. I am very pleased with this facility and would highly recommend it.

This week, we moved our mom into Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch. She is soon to be 91, is legally blind and hard of hearing, so you can imagine our concern about moving her. Yet, the experience for mom and our family has been far, far better than we could have ever imagined. From the moment I walked into the facility months ago to attend a caregiver education program, through the research of other local facilities, signing of the lease, and the move itself, I have been impressed with the professionalism of the staff and the warmth of everyone we have met. When we finally got mom into her newly designed room, she was HOME! Staff members continually stopped by to introduce themselves, there was assistance at ready to acclimate her to the facility, and they made sure she had someone to sit with at meals so that she did not feel quite so alone. I have to praise Nadine and her wellness and caregiving staff, Hope and the sales team, and the concierge, the meal staff, the chef, the General Manager; all have been as welcoming, warm, and polished as one could possible hope. What a relief to find such a safe, welcoming home for mom. Our family is grateful that mom is now somewhere where she is able to receive the assistance she needs to live as full a life as possible, for as long as she lives. So glad that we found Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch!

Mom moved in 2-weeks ago, and so far everything has been 5 stars. We are especially pleased with the number of activities each day, which is important for those with early dementia. The care staff has been very friendly and helpful with Mom's transition from another memory care facility.

This is a great community and they are trying their best to care for my mother. They keep the community very clean, everything looks nice and neat. The staff has been very helpful and kind. They do offer good activities for the residents. The food is fine. I would highly recommend this community.

The food was nourishing and was a balanced diet to promote good health. The LPNs are all very versed in the treatment of Patients with Dementia and any other memory problems. I would feel comfortable recommending Inspired Living especially the one in Tampa. My wife has actually started to improve in ADL's and takes part in most activities. The living quarters are spacious and kept clean. The whole staff is very giving and very nice to all the patients.

The staff at Inspired Living LWR is phenomenal! They are very caring and genuinely interested in providing for the specialized needs of each resident. They make family members feel welcome and plan activities to make us feel involved. The brand new facility is lovely and spacious and cleaned and maintained very well. It has state-of-the art technology that allows staff to know immediately if a resident needs assistance. They also have a beautiful, heated pool with a lift chair that not many facilities provide.

Mom & Dad absolutely loved this place! It is a new facility, clean and the staff was wonderful. Unfortunately, the price is quite high, and they may not be able to afford it.

I think that they have done extremely well, but I think that because it is a new place that they have some kinks to work out, but they are minor ones. Sometimes the food is very good, sometimes it's not quite as good. I'd say they are doing well though.

You guys, this really is a five star place. If memory care is what your loved one needs, this is the place. I can not express my gratitude enough to the staff. They are kind, generous, thoughtful, and dedicated. They really do go the extra mile. I live in Chicago, and am thankful every day, knowing and trusting that my dad is safe and happy in his home in Florida. The residents are clean and well groomed, their lives are filled with fun, laughter, and meaningful activities. The rooms are on the smaller side, and the community itself is simple. There are two lovely enclosed out door areas, and a dedicated van for regular outings, as well as doctors visits etc. Please see their facebook page for pictures, videos and additional information. Highly highly highly recommended.

I moved my mother to this facility in July 2015. She is happy and loves it there. The staff is great and the facility is very clean.

My father was one of the first residents in this community. The facility is so clean and well appointed I wanted to move in. The staff are always friendly and willing to help. Well worth every dime!

My father has been at Inspired Living at Sun City for about two months and everything has been great. The nurses and all the people at Inspired Living at Sun City are all very kind to everybody. They have good activities and do different things on a daily basis. They are very people focused and really friendly. They know all the people by name, know what they need, and the nursing staff is just excellent. It is a very safe and secure place as well. We have been very pleased.

They do an absolutely wonderful job at Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes! I'd give them higher than 5 stars if I could! The staff here is unbelievable. The CNAs do a great job looking after the residents, and the activities directors are excellent! The facility itself is nice looking, and always very clean. I've been there at all different times of the day, and it seems like they've got someone out 24/7 making sure messes get tidied up quickly. I highly recommend the place!

I have looked to a lot of places and found this Hidden Lakes to be the best of all I like the cleanleness of every room and hall I am very empressed with the bright cheerful colers of the rooms and halls I have looked to many places and found that I could have paid more and sometimes less but I am sure you get what you pay for I am very satisfied with hidden lakes Bradenton

So far we are having a very good experience. They really seem to understand patients with dementia. A horrible disease that anyone who is experiencing it with a loved one knows.The whole atmosphere and the staff are perfect for patients with memory problems. I am a critical care nurse and have never been on this end until now . Our experiences have been less than I could ever imagine. I think we found the right fit for our family member to live out his days in a safe environment with staff that really understand and care. Thank you to all the staff for what you do!

Wonderful, wonderful Place. Dad is extremely happy and so are we. Actually, we brought him from TX, and he is 93, so we were really concerned about him adjusting. The staff is so caring and loving and made an effort just like they said they would. They put someone with him all day long until he adjusted. They were there for him because he is legally blind and now he is really comfortable. They helped us get furniture and home health for his knee, something that wouldn't have been available at his previous community.

We chose Ivy Ridge Living Center for several reasons, first - the price was right, second - it was neat, clean, bright, and very appealing from when we first walked in. There were no bad smells, they do laundry everyday which I really liked. The people there are very friendly they answered all my questions. The staff addresses any issues or problems right away and even change their process if they find a better way of doing something. They have a very progressive dementia unit, every resident has their own room and wears a bracelet that can only unlock their door. The doors automatically lock and they just installed lights with motion sensors so the lights automatically come on if my mom heads to the bathroom at night. Throughout Ivy Ridge there are no ridges or rugs for residents to trip on and walkers easily slide on their floors which I really like. It is very bright and cheery, they did a study and found dementia patients respond better to bright colors so they painted part of the facility yellow and part green in an effort to help better orient the residents. Ivy Ridge is fairly new and has only been open about a year. A friend said there were 14 residents in January of this year and now there are 38, so it is filling up quickly. The staff does a good job with answering questions and discussing financial options. Also, the social director updates us on how my mom is doing and will take a handful of residents on outings for dessert. Her nurse speaks to me directly and is on top of the medications and medical needs of the residents. I also really liked that there is a locked courtyard that residents can access as they please. It doesn't allow them off the grounds so they are safe within the facility but they can still go outside when they want. They even can even put a GPS chip in resident's bracelets for residents who tend to wander off. My mom did not need this but it was nice to know Ivy Ridge has the technology and will use it if needed. Everyone treats my mom with dignity and respect. They also have a very nice dining experience, there's no rushing the residents through a meal. They sit about four to a table and offer residents seconds and keep checking on them which I really appreciate. I toured about 30 other places and I knew right away that Ivy Ridge was our first choice for mom.

I toured Inspired Living at Kenner and it was absolutely beautiful, I loved it. I preferred for my mom to be there, but it was outside of her price range. I worked with them for quite some time, but we just couldn't get the price to a point where it would be feasible. My initial tour was good, I went back again and I didn't really like it because I felt that the lady was speaking as if my mom wasn't there and she was on the tour with me. She was very nice, but regardless of a persons mentation, you should give them that level of respect. That was the second time; the first time, [name removed], who I really liked did a great job on the tour. I built a rapport with her and I appreciated her.

My loved one is very happy, loved their apartment. My loved one has become more social, which is great. I picked this place because of it's all in-inclusive( etc cleaning), a convient location, it looks newer, and it's affordable for my loved one.

Inspired Living was relatively new. The facility was beautiful and very nice. We had a wonderful tour. I felt they had the same quality of services and staff as the place we chose and are happy with.
