Validus Senior Living

The friendliness and cleanliness of the community really stood out to us as a good first impression. We would recommend Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes to other families.

Inspired Living gave us a great tour and were one of the only places that actually showed us the memory care unit. The facility is beautiful and has a very nice swimming pool. I was concerned though because during our tour I did not see any residents or staff, no nurse stations were open and it seemed empty. I asked how many beds they had there and she said 120 but only 50 residents were actually living there.

The nursing staff is responsive. They do call me on a very regular basis with different updates. They recently separated the unit into two areas - one side for people who are less functioning and one side for people who are more functioning. I don't necessarily see employees as much as I would like to for my mom on the better functioning side. But overall I think they take very good care of her. They're reasonably quick to get her cleaned up with any incontinence issues. Everybody is very friendly, including management. I think the staff seem a little overburdened sometimes, with not enough people for what is required of them. But my mom enjoys the food. And they're good about getting the residents together for activities like exercises and stretching, going out to the gardens and gazebo and asking about their fondest memories, playing a news/history/trivia games. Those things all seem very positive to me.

The community is cheerful, clean, and up-to-date. It is better for those residents that are more independent then end of life. It would be an excellent place for assisted living. The memory care unit was run different than the assisted living unit. I would recommend it as a top choice to check out the community for their loved ones.. I would check several communities out for a reference point, and visit all the places in person.

We chose Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch because it sounded reasonable for what my brother needed at that point in time. They were very good with communication throughout covid. I would recommend them to others looking.

Communication can sometimes be difficult. The response time can take longer than we liked but they did respond. I would recommend checking out this community.

Our loved one physically looks brighter than what she did before coming into the community, and she looks like she is getting good nutrition. We would recommend this community to others.

We like the smallness and staff ratio here. Just seems a little expensive for what you're getting.

The layout of this community is very ideal especially with it being a memory care facility. It is very well designed, the building is in a U-shape with an outdoor area in the middle. We believe this staff is handling COVID the best that they can, we have only been able to visit once and they have done a beautiful job keeping this community clean. The staff was very friendly when we visited, everyone was great. All in all we are happy, and they have done a very good job with the activities. They have a wonderful calendar with a list of the daily activities. There is singing, games, religious services and movie nights. The food is excellent. We were able to eat there a couple times and its very nutritionally balanced, very good portions and a great variety. The rooms are a little bit on the smaller side, but a whole lot cleaner then the other places we looked at, and the bathrooms are a very good size.

We chose this facility due to affordability. The food was pretty good, there was quite a bit of variety. They also gave snacks morning and afternoon. The outside looked very nice but the inside was older looking.

I am concerned about communication with and from Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch. When calling in, staff is always "at a meeting" and when messages are left, calls are never returned. Staff apparently was accepting whatever my sister (Alzheimer's patient) told them without checking validity. She appears to not be showering and skipping other personal hygiene. If communication was better this could be handled rather than neglected. Activities offered seem appropriate and in time she may become more involved. Facility is attractive, friendly and well-maintained.

Very nice facilities. The staff was very active working with the residents. The Sales Director was very knowledgeable in the many aspects of Medicaid and how it related to costs of Memory Care. Lots of activities for the residents. Secure rooms to prevent items from disappearing. The rooms felt open and clean. Enough personal space in the semi-private rooms. All inclusive pricing was easy to understand.

The 5795/month is a flat rate that includes everything in that all thins are covered & you are not subject to annual rate raises. My mom loves the food & she’s picky!

Has a great space for those that like to walk, especially walking area outside. 2 dining rooms, residents are tracked on watches. [name removed] extremely helpful in my search. Decided that it is too expansive for my mom, who has limited mobility though. Also, located on very busy road and could be hard to get to when traffic is bad.

The facility is really top notch and the staff is very knowledgeable and supportive of residents.

My wife has made such tremendous progress being here she is able to come home by the end of the week. The staff is wonderful here they are working with her alongside an outside physical therapy service to gain her strength back which she is doing. My wife loves the staff here they are so nice and patient. After dinner, she goes to play bingo every night she which enjoys. The food she does not like it has no taste to it no seasoning. I would recommend this community

Inspired Living at Kenner is a beautiful community. It would have been perfect for our loved one because it was so conveniently located to our home. We had to choose another community based on what we could pay.

Inspired Living was a beautiful and large community. The tour was very nice and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We chose a smaller community that was a better fit for our needs.

The care my mom gets has been going very well. She loves the place and compares it to a vacation experience. The staff are respectful and responsive. They have a system to check on the residents often and monitor them throughout the facility. If my mom is motionless in her room, they check on her. They constantly have activities through out the day and it is well managed. Not to mention the food is great, which is the top complaint of all assistive living facilities by residents. A+

This new facility is very nice. The apt do not have a full size kitchen. We liked this facility. This is similar to Tuscan Gardens which is closer to our target area. The sales person was very nice.
