Validus Senior Living

The facility seemed unprepared for my visit with no warm water and a refrigerator that quit working several times, spoiling the contents. The people were friendly but seemed disorganized with a staff change about three weeks before I moved in.

Inspired was bought by another company several months ago. Many of the regular staffers resigned, many were kept on ( Activity Dept., PT/OT) . New owners brought their own people in. I have seen many changes for the better, happy to admit that. Most challenging is the language barrier...... all the residential attendees speak Spanish only, difficult to communicate with them. My husband's room is immaculate, his closet and clothing meticulously hung up and arranged. Nice scent throughout the facility.

The staff is very sweet. They try to keep them all busy. My dad always looks and smells clean. A negative would be most of the Techs speak very little English, so it was hard to communicate.

My favorite part of Inspired Living Ivy Ridge would be the staff. They're very warm and loving towards my mom and get back to me very quickly if I have any questions. The facility is clean and well taken care of.

I thought the staff did well, by and large. I liked most of the staff. I think they are not equipped for when people have a lot of needs. When my dad had more needs, he needed maybe oxygen, maybe a 2-person assist, they couldn't take him anymore, but that's true with most places.

What we like the most about Inspired Living is the cleanliness and the friendliness of the administrative staff, they are great. Where they are lacking is the ratio of residents to caregivers. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families but they need to get more caregivers

Quality of care is a hard one to rate because it varies from caregiver to caregiver. I would give an overall rating of 4. Some caregivers would rate as a 5 while some rate as a 3. Yes, I would recommend this community to others and I have done so already. The search is a hard one because what the top people think or hope is the truth about their facility is not always the case. To the tenant of your facility it is tied to the care givers. Based on my experience (not just at Inspired Living) the peace and comfort of the tenant is tied to a great degree to the care givers. I have seen them all, the really good who care, the really bad that are just putting in time, the dishonest who will steal from you and lie about you, those who do only what they have to, etc. I am sure you know all this so I will stop here. All the staff from top to bottom are ultra important to the tenant at any facility like yours.

My mom doesn't utilize much. Stays in her room most

Staffing always a problem & the attendants weren't proactive in changing out Depends so they waited until the resident was wet & all the clothes needed to go in laundry. I noticed many wet pants in my time there. Way too much trivia on TV since there was little interest in it. Many more active females than men so activities skewed toward them. The outside garden out back was a favorite of many residents. Musical presentations were also well attended & appreciated by residents & family members

My wife's been a resident now for almost a month. Majority of the staff are pretty nice. The meals don't seem to be warm enough when they're presented to the residents. Otherwise I'm pretty satisfied with this facility compared to others I've visited.

We chose Inspired Living at Kenner because it was clean and had access to the outside area. Ways to improve: Hire employees that encourage participation. Do more than bingo. With outside access they could have planting by my Mom misses her garden.

I think the nursing staff does a good job, by and large. They seem to be mostly strong people. To improve the food, perhaps they could have more meat. Not sure if they serve a whole lot of meat. Maybe they could serve steak.

I appreciate the responsiveness and follow-up of care managers [name removed] and [name removed] are great! And [name removed] at front desk is a gem!!

I find the staff to be friendly and helpful. They seem to have problems with mixing up clothes.

My loved one has lived here for nearly 8 years. She has been very happy. When she was more cognizant. She told me she liked the activities, but that she could do what she wanted to do or not do. I think they do an excellent job of assessing the resident's level of what they can do. The atmosphere is very upbeat and loving. We have been very happy mom is here.

They are doing much better with friendliness. We picked them because of the outdoor area.

I have been here for 4 years. There has been a lot of changes and we are so happy for it. I love the games and people here. They have become my family. I really enjoy the destination dinners. I miss Dean our old driver but the new one is doing great.

The management staff is excellent. They listen and take appropriate action. The day time patient care staff are kind and caring. Afternoon and overnight staff seem not as caring. My first contact at Inspired Living assured me patients were checked hourly overnight and confirmed with me my husband would be shaved as part of his personal care. Neither of those issues are correct. It would be best to have everyone on the same page. For some reason mornings are rushed and some mornings my husband is not given an opportunity to wash his face or brush his teeth. The excuse is there is not enough time. Would you like to be rushed to breakfast with out washing your face brushing teeth and barely getting dressed?

[name removed] and I have been here over 1 year and we have no complaints, all employees treat us extremely well. [name removed]and [name removed]are extremely pleasant and professional. The house keepers are very good . Every staff member greets us with sincerity. One thing l do not approve off, staff asking to weighing us and our blood pressure. We do this daily in our apartment and our primary care Dr. Is aware of them.
