Validus Senior Living

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.

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.
