Validus Senior Living

Everyone there has been so terrific and extremely friendly. Overall the meals are satisfactory. They have a ton of different activities. Our loved one really enjoys the bingo and trivia. Every month they have a different destination where they encouraged the families to come and eat meals with them. For Mardi Gras they did a themed dinner, and for the state of Nevada they did like an old Vegas theme where they had a gentlemen come play songs for them. Based on our experience so far we would recommend the community to others.

This community is perfect we just connected more with another community that we felt was perfect for my loved one.

For every imaginable holiday there is some activity they find to celebrate it, and if there is not a holiday they get to explore countries. At first we thought the rooms were small, but in fact they are pretty nice and encourage the residents to get out and about. One of the unique selling points is that they can walk outside in an enclosed walk way and sitting area anytime we want. We would recommend this community to others.

Our Dad passed away 9/16/19. He had fantastic care over the past 18 months at Inspired Living Sun city center. The staff went above and beyond for my Dad and family. Thank you and God Bless.

We are delighted with the care our Mom is getting at Hidden Lakes Inspired Living. In addition to a failing memory, at age 94, Mom has several other conditions which complicate the care she needs. Mom requires very special attention. We were concerned that she might not be able to accept living at any care facility. We are, therefore, extremely pleased that Mom feels completely at home at Hidden Lakes. We thank the staff at Hidden Lakes for the extraordinary care given our Mom, for getting her to feel comfortable at her new home and for giving us peace-of-mind.

Dad is 96 with Lewy bodies Dementia and Parkinson's and always says that he is living in a beautiful place. Free access to the beautiful outdoors, two screened lanai's, great food, loving and caring well staffed new home for Dad. I know he is well cared for. Lots of activities and family involvement. Could not have found a more wonderful place for Dad to be safe and well cared for.

my wife has been there 8 months and is happy living there. They provide entertainment , the food is good and the staff is caring. There is an outdoor enclosed area on a small lake- all very pretty. I am very happy with my choice of inspired living as a caring home for my wife.

We are new to Inspire however, have been happy with what we have seen. The admissions person has gone above and beyond to help us. Also, amazing how they know everyone's name and speak to the residents by name. There also seems to be a nice variety of activities for the residents to enjoy throughout the day. Thank you again for everything!!

My wife was placed in inspired living on [date removed]. My experiences to date [date removed] have been very pleasing. My wife appears to be happier than when I was taking care of her. They have entertainment and my wife loves music and dances. She seems to really like all the staff and the staff seems to be handling problems that I could not resolve. To date, based upon my experiences, I can highly recommend Inspired Living for anyone looking to place a loved one in a home because of Alzheimers.

Overall, we are pleased with Inspired Living in Kenner. It is apparent that they are having some growing pains as the facility adds residents. Some response times have been very poor but management is quick to recognize and have taken corrective action. The Head Nurse, [Removed], has been fantastic and the sales folks are very cordial and helpful.

For the most part I do feel my mother is very satisfied with her move to this community. It is good, safe facility with great people. I think they have a nice hiring selection, and the staff that works here is good. They have been responsive to any concerns she may have. When I visit the community, and her room is well maintained. They do provide nice meals, and good activities for the residents. I do feel comfortable with her move to this community, and it is one I would recommend.

Inspired Living at Sun City has been a great move for my aunt. She is doing so much better since moving to this community. Also, the move was beneficial to our family because it is conveniently located where we can visit her more often. The food is very good, we can't wait to go on prime rib night, they have a great chef there, and another lady supplies homegrown herbs. They give the residents snacks and keep them hydrated throughout the day. We really like the fact that they encourage the residents to get out of their room and try and engage them in the numerous activities that they provide. My aunt is an early riser so she enjoys everything they have to keep her busy. They have several rooms set up for activities and entertainment comes in to entertain the residents. The atmosphere is inviting and they are welcoming to our family when we come to visit. I really enjoy the oldies music they have playing. There are porches and day rooms to enjoy the outdoor views, and a courtyard for them to walk around and get some exercise, or just enjoy the fresh air. The place is nicely landscaped and well-maintained. They provide transportation for those who can take part in going shopping, Dr. appointments, or out to restaurants located nearby. We would definitely recommend this community to friends and family.

The director of the community and the doctor walked me through everything. They held my hand and were very supportive. The staff I have met have been great. My loved one likes the food and they do offer some daily activities. The community is clean and well taken care of.

My husband is currently in his 2nd respite care at Ivy Ridge. He and I chose Ivy Ridge because the people living there have activities going on just about all the time, including a popular bingo game every evening at 6Pm. People are free to choose activities , meal choices, and may go to their rooms when they choose. From our observation of other places we felt they seem to be more oriented to the families rather than to the patients. Ivy Ridge is definitely oriented and engaged with their patients. My husband's first stay was for a month. This current one will probably be longer. I've been in al all hours and have been pleased with all shifts. My background is in nursing/administration

The food at this community is excellent and the chef comes out to interact with the residents. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. This is a beautiful place and they offer daily activities. I would recommend coming to take a look to see if it is the right fit for your loved one

The community was very organized. I received enough information about the community from the advisor. I also received a proper tour of the whole community. The staff there were all very nice and attentive. There were many common areas and activities. The community also offered Housekeeping and Laundry service / dry cleaning.

My mother spent her last three years in Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes with dementia, among nurses who cared about her and cried at her death. She was not an easy patient, but the staff treated her with tremendous respect and kindness and I am very grateful. They made her last years comfortable and she became extremely fond of her them, and they did of her. The whole experience was positive and I can highly recommend this facility if you are unfortunate enough to be in the position of needing to find good care for your loved one with memory problems.

Great Place to live!!!!

It was a wonderful place. The staff was excellent and provided great care and comfort.

Being in the health care field for 31 years in pinellas county, I have had the opportunity to visit many facilities. Dawn Gretter at Ivy Ridge really helps my families feel comfortable about making the hardest decision of their lives. In my recent experience with the staff there, all of them from maintenance, dietary and care givers have gone above and beyond to ensure my residents have a positive adjustment. The secure outside area offers my residents a feeling of freedom, something that can be of great importance to them. Debra Castro the executive director has been available to me and my families if needed. Sheri Derry the program director is wonderful, I myself held this position for 17 years out in the community, so I am very particular on this subject. I rarely stop at Ivy Ridge when something meaningful, appropriate and fun isn't taking place with great attendance. I never see residents in recliners placed in front of the television and calling it an activity. No facility is perfect, but I appreciate one that is trying to be.
