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.... Read more

My grandmother is living here. She loves it! They have lovely grounds, caring staff, and are very helpful if she needs anything. I love the big beautiful backyard with the pool, tiki bar and fishing pier. They recently went out to see the Christmas lights! Also had a great family holiday party!

I love how everyone is friendly and treats the residents as part of the family. Also if there is a problem of any kind they try to fix it as soon as they possibly can. My dad has made friends and plays poker with them at least 3 times a week. I like that they have a list of activities every day for the residents and they also take them to a different place to shop twice a week. It also nice that they make it easy to be able to eat with him whenever I can. Thank you to all the staff that makes his stay as nice as possible

We visited for a holiday themed party on December 13th - Inspired Living had a beautiful cheese board with plenty of meats, cheeses, etc and cocktails in the lobby. We even enjoyed live entertainment, plus Christmas Carolers at the end (girl scouts!). The food was great - especially the turtle cheesecake. Chicken Oscar (Chicken Breast with Flanks of Crab & Asparagus, topped with a Hollandaise Sauce) and a Steak & Mushroom Demi Glaze was served. Presentation was top notch. Thank you to the team.

I had always been nervous in sending my mom into a senior living facility, until I came across Inspired Living. Touring and speaking with lovely sales advisor [name removed] and Executive director [name removed] eased my nerves. Once I moved in mom, she changed completely! After 2 weeks from move in day, she made friends and is having fun with the activities here at Inspired Living! This is the place!

Inspired living lake wood ranch is a caring and loving facility. The staff is caring and a few of them really go above and beyond to care for the residents. I did have a tour with [name removed] and she was wonderful. She went out of her way to make sure our questions were answered. Both executive directors were amazing at explaining the billing process. The facility it’s self is amazing with the pool area and also the deck that leads out to the pond. The location is a plus and that is one of the biggest reasons why we love this facility.

The staff are incredible, they truly care about our moms and dads. The community is extremely beautiful. I’m excited to have my loved ones here. The team is engaged and tuned in to the residents. Dining is first class, food served is fresh and made in house. Most senior living communities will used processed foods to save cost but not here at Inspired Living Lakewood Ranch.

The process was a bit overwhelming. Upon check in the floor was a bit dirty but overall ok. [name removed] is the most personable sweet and caring person I've ever met!! They seem to keep the old folks busy. As far as I'm concerned all assisted living facilities are way overpriced.

December 13, 2023Thank you Brian for the review! We appreciate you taking the time to leave us some feedback and will share it with the team.
I came here to visit a relative and noticed residents were playing games in the lobby and enjoying snacks by the coffee bar area. I saw a lot of people smiling and they seemed to be truly enjoying themselves. It certainly made me feel welcomed and that everyone was involved. The employees assisting in the activity even knew all of the residents names and it was evident that they made those personal connections. Thumbs up to Inspired Living and their enjoyable community.

December 14, 2023Thank you for the 5-star review, we appreciate your feedback!
Bridge to gazebo is rickety. I got a sliver in my hand from the railing. Also could be dangerous if someone fell. They could easily fall into the water. It should have vertical supports to the railing to prevent someone from falling in the water.

My mother has been a resident at Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch for the last 6 months. We previewed 5 facilities in the Sarasota/Lakewood Ranch/Bradenton area. But not one seemed to be as good a fit for her as Inspired Living. The staff is wonderful. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, which meant a lot since she was not only going from living alone but the move required she relocate to another state to be close to family. Of all the places we considered, Inspired Living has the nicest outdoor space. There are front porches to gather as well as a large back area which includes a pier overlooking a large lake and decking/walkways leading to an outdoor pool and bar area. All spaces are easily accessible for her use in a scooter. Although meals are served during specific hours, a resident can order food from the dining room all day long. I had heard wonderful things about the food, but honestly it is a little disappointing as far as variety. [Name removed], the manager, has heard the complaints and is working on some changes. The residents are extremely friendly. There are weekly trips to Walmart or dollar store via the bus but they do provide transportation to doctor's appts or other appts within I believe 8 miles. There is a physician who comes weekly and she is fabulous. There is a beauty salon and nail salon. Activities include bingo, poker, karaoke, music, and special "themed" events. The transition to an Assisted Living situation is difficult, at best, but these folks have made it quite nice. My mother has settled in and has new friends. All is good!

November 16, 2023Thank you very much for your review. We are honored to care for your mother and look forward to celebrating this holiday season with you all.
Hands down Inspired Living Lakewood Ranch was the best decision when it came time for my mom, who has Lewy Bodies Dementia with Parkinson’s, to find care for her. They are compassionate, patience of saints, attentive and always available when needed. Overall the food, accommodations, activities & medical care including the entire staff are impeccable! A special shout out to [names removed] for loving and caring for my mom as if she was your own! We couldn’t be happier with her forever home at Inspired Living!

November 15, 2023Thank you Susan for the 5-star review! We appreciate your feedback and thank you for your help!
We were looking at various communities for a loved one and found that Inspired Living Lakewood Ranch was the best fit for our family and also location wise. When we walked in, there was an event happening in the lobby with various hor dourves and adult beverages. The residents were mingling and enjoying themselves. The front desk staff member was very friendly upon arrival when we were signing in. The grounds are absolutely stunning with a beautiful lakeside and fishing pier for everyone to enjoy. We also learned that all of the meals are made from scratch and they can adhere to different diet requests. Thank you!

We're really happy with our choice of Inspired Living LWR. We looked at several places and this was the perfect fit. Staff, food and service are all amazing. Mom has adjusted well and her quality of life has definitely improved. She was hesitant to leave her home, but she looks healthier and more relaxed now that she's here. The facility is nicely maintained and the outdoor area is great for exercise. The staff in the memory care unit are so kind and patient. I feel very comfortable with Mom in their care.

November 15, 2023Thank you so much for your excellent review. We are grateful for you and for trusting us to care for your loved one.
I've been a volunteer for Inspired Living Lakewood Ranch for over 6 years. After I retired as a nurse manager at Blake Hospital, I wanted to have some fun and I've always loved the older patients . At Inspired Living, I love the care and love the staff show the residents. I assist with Wine Wednesday and enjoy seeing residents every week and seeing how they're doing.
