Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch

My mother has lived here at Inspired Living since 2023 I am happy, and so is my mother. I would recommend this community to others. I am pleased with the care and my mom feels safe. She has activities all day long and she enjoys the things she goes to. She can participate in as much or as little as she likes to. She loves to sit on the front porch with others.

We have recently noticed a very pleasant change in activities - Inspired Living has created a memory care family picnic for their residents and family members. The day prior, they made tie dye shirts and everyone wore them the following day together. It's been great to see the new activity director, [name removed], enter the community with new ideas for everyone, especially those with dementia and Alzheimer's. My loved one is in good hand and enjoying what's happening.

Disappointed with the facility. We had electricity out in 1/2 of the room. Staff said no one to fix. No one is available for emergency situations such as this? Elevator has been out of service since we moved dad in. Ants in room. Had to wait till next day to treat. Staff seems slow to respond to his requests. For the money he is paying it seems inadequate not to have people on call for services.

Anyone new that decides this is facility for their loved one they should work with [name removed], she makes things happen!! Wonderful to work with!! They all complain about the food but none of them understand about the dietary restrictions. Quality of care is more about slow response.

We liked it. For some reason, the staff changes frequently. But it seems that way with every place. But like I said as soon as his condition got worse, we had to move him somewhere else.

If you’re searching For an assisted living for a loved one stop looking, Inspired Living is a place that you must visit and you must take to Based upon their management, their personnel and their care to the individual. That is the most important thing. They really take care of you. I know my wife was here. The executive director is wonderful and runs the organization. He will be glad to see you anytime. Just call the organization. The number is [removed].

My mom has been living at Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch for a little over a year. The care the facility provides has been getting better and better with mom’s every need. The staff and management listen to every concern we may have and come up with a personalized solution. The quality of care that the staff provides is outstanding and they are very caring. Thank you for taking care of mom in her time of changing needs.

Upon moving here, Dad has been treated well. He is getting better with PT services directly onsite. They even offer speech therapy and occupational, too. We enjoy as a family, the special events such as the destination luncheon's. They've often had this performer here named [name removed] who is excellent and really interactive. Dad presses the pendant when he needs something and is glad they're here all hours of the day.

An explanation of grade for care is the facility is understaffed especially on the weekend. She has had to press her button at times and waits a long time for a response. When my mom entered the facility we were told front desk would be manned 24/7. No one is there after about 8 pm. For the number 3 for the food, I must say the dining area is wonderful and the staff so very nice but everyone complains about the food. When she entered we were told there was a well thought of chef. There isn't. I am fully aware that folks in these facilities have to complain about something and usually the food is what they complain about. That is probably the one thing my mother would change. Need more variety. Explanation of the value- The overall facility is wonderful. The reason I lowered the grade was because of the food and understaffed. There used to be a physician who comes every Tuesday. She seems nice but trying to refill prescriptions is unbelievably difficult. The director of the facility is FABULOUS. He is always available to anyone with concerns. He has monthly meetings with the residents and works tirelessly to handle every situation. The staff and management are superb. It certainly is not cheap. We are paying roughly $[removed] a month for a two bedroom unit. She manages her own medication so we have no up charges. Honestly, I don't think we could ask for a more pleasant environment. Also know that the management /owner is on site.

1. The physical, occupational, and speech therapy professionals are amazing, thoughtful, and caring. (They are not staff members, they are contracted from Heritage. ) 2. The recently appointed Activities Director is superb, creative, and uses the residents to advise her on possibilities. I have been cleared by [name removed], Wellness Director, to pay rent at a Level one resident since [date removed], but I have continued to be billed and paid $900 more a month at the silver 4 level than the services I have received. The cleaning is way below level.

The Memory Care Facility is outstanding!! Staff are caring & very attentive to my husbands needs and condition. He is happy & safe!! I I am so grateful for the care he is given 24-7! Inspired Living Lakewood Ranch is easily 5 Star !!

Mom has been there for 3 months and so far so good. Plenty of trips and activities available. Staff is friendly and helpful. Her room is cleaned twice weekly. I have switched her to the Dr on staff there which is very convenient.

Both of my parents were there for a few months, whether it is for a few months or a few years this place was absolutely amazing. The employees and the patience that they have is top notch. I need to give a huge shout out to the front desk [name removed], she goes above and beyond her duties and you know it’s not just a job to her, she truly cares about the residents. I highly recommend this place to anyone that needs to place a member of the family because they take care and treat everyone there as if they were their mom or dad.

I would highly recommend the facility to others. All of the staff (front desk, salespeople, caregivers, dining room staff, activities personnel, salon, PT/OT staff, and the Executive Director) are ALL phenomenal. My mom's condition has improved dramatically since she moved in at the end of December. She went from needing 2 people to help her with almost all ADLs on the maximum care plan, to almost being completely independent now in her wheelchair and making progress with her walker. The staff is so empathetic, kind, and motivational. She had a very difficult time adjusting in the beginning from living completely independent in her house to here (the result of a car accident). The staff was so welcoming and never gave up making her feel at home. The quality of the food seems to be good, but I know my mom and others complain from time to time. It may have more to do with being finicky or selective than the food itself. The move in process was very easy and accommodating. They roll out the red carpet (literally) and the entire staff greets each new resident as they come through the door. It is also by far the best value for the money in the area. I can't say enough good things about Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch.

Everything (but the food) has been great! We are a little disappointed with the food. Even the burger wasn't good. For the price should be a little higher quality food. Staff is great - very accommodating and helpful. Most residents are much older than my mom, she is 76, but ill.

Once the staff managers were established (there was a period of continual turnover), we have found people to be responsible and responsive. The staff always seem pleasant and are clearly familiar with my loved one. I do wish there was a greater variety of activities available. I think the residents could be better stimulated. I would recommend this facility, but I would encourage family members to maintain communication to ensure ultimate care.

Staff are always willing to take time to visit with family. They all knew my mother's name, likes/dislikes before she moved in. Communication has been timely and responsive. They are patient and taking time to really get to know my mother from the front desk staff to all those who work on the floors, in the kitchen and the activities.

Inspired living gave my mom the red carpet treatment upon arrival. She was in for a 14 day respite. They have a nice courtyard for the residents to use. I am pleased with inspired living. Becca Wolfe is the life style director at inspired living. She has a warm loving personality. She is a rare find working in this environment for the elderly.
