Inspired Living at Bonita Springs

A month after my loved one moved in the whole administrative staff changed, then there were temporary staff, and now the permanent director is there. He seems very good, I contacted him after hours and he responded right away. But during the whole transition, there was not much communication about what was going on at all. Communication is definitely something that needs to be improved on, I feel like I have to initiate it and there not a lot coming out.

We chose Inspired Living because of the friendliness of the staff and I liked the open courtyard in back that allows residents to get outside on their own every day. The staff members take a very personal approach with their residents and I would recommend them to other families looking.

We chose Inspired Living because the lady we talked to [name removed] was awesome and kept in touch with us. It is also within 2 miles of where they lived previously and they are very happy here. I would recommend to others looking.

If you've never had any experience whatsoever with Alzheimer's' or dementia, know that the things that you think are possibly occurring due to lack of involvement with the facility are actually what the resident is doing themselves. For instance, they give my loved one two options for an outfit each day. She'll choose one and then add things later in the day, or change her outfit entirely. And memory care residents have a tendency to share their belongings, so don't bring anything expensive, including jewelry or clothing. My loved one had an expensive pair of sunglasses, and now she has $5.99 pair because she probably gave hers away. For anyone having a loved one going into memory care, be outrageously patient, but know that it does get better. Honestly the first six weeks are probably the hardest thing I've done in my life. But Inspired Living tells you all of this up front. Inspired Living is an absolutely sensational environment. The people who work there are aabsolutely incredible with what they're dealing with an a day to day day basis. They're always smiling and willing to talk. I've talked with them for hours at a time about what to expect. My loved ones sate ebbs and flows - somedays she's good, and somedays she has a hard time. But they keep the residents really involved, and my loved one has made friends. They even created an advocate position for her, because she took really well to helping new residents get acquainted with the facility. At the end of the day memory care and dementia sucks. But Inspired Living is the best place for her. She's safe, she's protected, and she's fully taken care of. She loves the food there. Comparable to other memory care, it's expensive. But the residents are monitored 24/7, and its a smaller facility with only about 55 residents. It's expensive, but it's worth it. One of my dear friends happens to manage a large memory care facility, and during the interview process she told me to ask if they just give them medication to calm them down. Inspired Living does not, and that was extremely important to me. I didn't want my loved one to be pumped up with drugs to make someone else's life easier. They use discussion and redirect the patient instead, as well as other tactics instead of giving them medication. There's a surgeon in the area whose wife is at Inspired Living after being at two other memory care locations, and that speaks volumes to us about the care here as well.

We chose Inspired Living because I really liked the people, they all came out to talk to us and I just got a good feeling and thought it would be a good fit. My mom is getting great care here and they have been great with communication, especially during covid. Next week we can finally go inside so we are looking forward to that, but based off of zoom meetings and visits, it seems like a great place. I think we made the right choice and I would highly recommend them.

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.

It is a good place to go, if you need to go. I think they keep the residents engaged and care by the staff is good.

I would tell friends that this is a great community for your loved one. The community gives great care; are very nice, and friendly. My mother says the food is good, they give coffee with all meals if the residents wants. Live music, arts and crafts, holiday celebration parties, cultural celebrations, and themed parties and events are some of the activities offered.

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.

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.

The move for Mom to Inspired Living has definitely improved her wellbeing in just three weeks. Wish we had done it sooner.

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.

Great Place to live!!!!
