Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes

This is a nice facility & it’s taken some time to acclimate my husband to his new surroundings. They are short handed & keep trying to hire more people but they don’t like the work. The caregivers are generally congenial but they are reactive to patient needs instead of proactive as I am when I’m there. I visit almost every day and most days I take his laundry home to wash. He is losing belongings at every turn. Very frustrating for me. They have a very nice garden in back for a little sunshine & fresh air. Rooms are adequate. Food is generally pretty good and served to them at their table. Meals are important for most patients so that’s very good. Physical therapy is available at the facility. Communication with medical personnel is spotty, especially since they only have a PA once a week. Wound care is basically non existent (my husband has taken quite a few falls) so I change bandages & freshen antibiotics. This is a memory care unit so he doesn’t even know to ask for care.

We like that Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes is close to our (my sister an myself) homes. Staff is extremely friendly. [name removed] at the front desk remembered my name on my second visit. Memory care is very caring and conscientious.

Don't go there unless your entire family speaks Spanish or Haitian. Only the always absent office staff speak English. The meals were disgusting.

Ever since my father moved in he has never been happier. He is thriving and getting the care he needs. All the staff are very friendly and supportive. They take the time to get to know your loved one and treat them like family. I can rest easy now knowing my father is getting the care he needs and deserves. Thank you!

It is a wonderful facility for those with memory issues. What stood out the most to us, believe it or not, was the smell. It smelled clean and there is always someone cleaning something! My Mom is very happy there and ultimately that is the most important thing.

My dad has been here for almost a year and not a day goes by that I’m so impressed with the facility and staff. They keep my dad safe and my worries away. Thankful for the staff who is so caring and kind.

My husband stayed at Hidden Lakes for respite care and I highly recommend this facility. The staff is friendly, caring and very professional. His room was very nice, well kept and clean. He enjoyed the activities and backyard and I was confident that he was being well cared for. He will definitely stay there again. This was his first time in respite care and I didn't quite know what to expect . The care he received exceeded my expectations and I am so thankful for each and every member of their staff.

I’m very happy we chose Inspired Living Hidden Lakes for my father. All of the staff are so friendly and accommodating. You can tell that the staff truly cares about their residents. The staff makes the activities fun because they join in and interact with the residents. They always show such patience and compassion. Our family is very grateful for their dedication and level of care not only for our father, but for all the residents they provide care for.

I can't speak enough about the wonderful team at Inspired Living Hidden Lakes. Their support and assistance in helping our father settle in was above and beyond what we could have expected. Thank you for giving our father a lovely and peaceful home. And for giving us the peace in knowing he is at exactly the right home.. thank you [names removed] and the entire team at Inspired Living for making us welcome.

Inspired Living Hidden Lakes is a memory care facility. It is tucked away in Bradenton in a facility identical to the now- closed Sarasota facility, which my father previously lived in. I would recommend it for families who are more local and can visit frequently, not for those at a distance. The reason is simple - all people in Memory Care need more help and family contact than those in independent living or some in assisted living. To deal with this, we have hired a private caregiver. This person has become a part of our family, noticing, caring and engaging with my dad personally. No matter the star ratings, it is rare for these memory care facilities to provide enough personal care, due to staffing shortages, frequent turnover, inadequate state training regs, and low pay. This is the reality of assisted living. So, if you can provide a caregiver or visit several times weekly, I recommend HL.

Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes is the ideal home for my husband. The facility is attractive and well maintained and the garden area is so peaceful. But, more importantly, the staff is kind and considerate, very welcoming and genuinely concerned for the comfort, safety, and wellbeing of the residents. I know that my husband is eating a well balanced diet, and that his personal needs are being met. His room is ideal and the activities offered are diverse; there is something for everyone. Knowing that my husband is living in such a wonderful home, with extraordinary, caring staff gives me peace of mind that is so needed. I highly recommend Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes. It has been an answer to my prayers.

Just new to this facility but very impressed so far. Great environment for my sis who has dementia. So can't say to much more. [names removed] are very good at responding and quick to get things done.

Our sister has been a resident of Inspired Living for over a year. We visit her every week and so far have not had any grievances. The food is exceptional. The staff is always alert and have the residents best interest as their priority. Residents are always clean and the facility is also very clean and a safe environment. I would recommend Inspired Living to anyone asking for a recommendation.

Earlier in the year, we unexpectedly needed to find a memory care facility for dad. We looked at several facilities in the Bradenton area and narrowed it down to three. Other family members visited these three locations and we were all in agreement that Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes was the best facility for dad. It has a spacious court yard for him to get around or just sit and enjoy the outdoors. Room for him to roam up and down the hallways. Just a perfect fit for him. When we met the staff on our visits, they were friendly and outgoing to all of us. On dad's first day, they welcomed him with the red carpet treatment. The staff is warm and inviting with dad and with anyone that comes to visits him. It is a difficult decision to place a love one in a assisted living facility but we know that we made the right decision with Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes. Thank you to the staff for making dad feel at home and giving a peace of mind for his family.

Our situation is different than most. We had to find a place for our daughter who is only 56 years old. Back in May she and a friend traveled to Spain for vacation. Then she got progressively worse. She was unable to remember her password and steps at her work which she had done for years. Then in June she was placed on short term disability to try to figure out what was the matter. The short of it after much testing, it was determined she had Lewy-body dementia. After looking at various facilities, we picked Hidden Lakes where she is currently. The Staff welcomed her warmly and she seems content. A difficult decision was made easier by the caring staff and friendly atmosphere.

We love Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes. The staff is very caring and patient. The dining options are great, the activities are both fun and therapeutic. My father is happy at Inspired Living and loves the large outdoor gazebo and gardens. The facility is safe and secure. Highly recommended this place.

Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes facility is very clean, my uncle’s bed is always made. He is fully dressed in street clothing and changed daily. Staff greet you as you enter and leave. The place is a locked memory care facility which is so hard to find. My uncle is a walker and was looking for space for him to move. They have a wonderful outdoor grass space with pathways, benches and shaded areas for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia to walk freely within an enclosed area. They do frequent scheduled safety checks of the yard. They have separate dining rooms for those that feed themselves and others like my uncle that needs cues or to be fed. They report to me when my uncle did not eat much of his breakfast. I can get a snack bar and some milk during the in between times. They staff that pass out meds have been good at administering meds to him which was a struggle for my aunt. As long as my uncle is able move on his own this is a safe place for him.

We love Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes. My siblings & I can rest at night knowing my Mom is loved and taken care of. The staff really cares about all their residents and families. 5 Stars from me.

The entire staff is wonderful. I am always greeted with a smile and kind word. My Mom is well cared for and is happy under the circumstances. I would highly recommend Inspired Living to anyone trying to find a placement for their loved one. Thanks to all of you who care for my Mom, I know it can be a thankless job but you are really making a difference.

I find everybody kind and considerate, and always available for any guidance or assistance that I need I feel my mom is taking care of very well. Her room is always clean. Her personal hygiene is very good she enjoys and loves the meals that she is given three times a day. The activity room is always full of people and things to do. She enjoys bingo and companionship of other residence. She has also expressed how much she enjoys their outings. that the home brings them on my mother has a very complex medication schedule. She has diabetes that require strict attention to medication’s and monitoring and to date I feel that the med techs at the home have done an excellent job. She seems to always be on schedule, and balanced with our blood work due to their attentiveness.
