Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch

They are very friendly at this community. They provide good care to my loved one. They are low on staff at the time but the staff that they do have are good and work well with my loved one. They have activities like noodle ball, bingo, wine down Wednesday, movies and more for the residents to do to stay busy and active in the community.

It's friendly. Overall it's a really good place. Sometimes it depends on who's working the shift. But most of the time it's excellent. It's nice and clean. They have some events sometimes, although that's limited due to Covid. They used to have a Wine Wednesday. I just make sure I go and visit her every day. Overall it's a good place. It's helped her, and it's helped us.

The staff are great here. They take great care of my aunt. One thing the community could improve on is assisting the residents with using cash or credit cards for dining out on trips.

The community is very caring and loving. The community is open to making changes to assist your loved one, such as adding more activities and additional training for the aides. The service of the food in the memory care, could be improved. Some of the activities for memory care include walks around the community, swimming, and arts and crafts for the residents.

Inspired Living community has a great meal and dining service, and they offer a lot of activities every single day. They have an entire monthly calendar filled out with different activities for the residents.

It is overpriced. It was a roomy and engaging community. I would change the under staffing and overpricing in the community. My loved one was there for a short amount of time. During this time frame the communication with the staff was excellent.

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.

We chose Inspired Living at the time because the director was very nice and the price was right. The location was also great for us. Everything was great in the beginning then started to go downhill once management and staff members changed. The communication was not great, they never called me. They did have a big covid outbreak and had to isolate some of the residents and split everyone up. After all of this, then they raised the rent $500 a month. We ended up moving my wife out of here to a different place.

We toured Inspired Living LWR on [date removed]. As with Hidden Lakes the details in the design for memory care are very evident. There are some touches at LWR that are unique and provide even more supports to residents. The outdoor space is inviting and accessible to residents, providing opportunities for exercise, fresh air and sunshine. With the adjacent Assisted Living community there are also options for escorted walks along the lake and visits to the other amenities.

The administration staff would be a five out of five, but aids that give one on one care would be a two out of five.

I chose this facility for my brother because it had a separate facility for memory care and although he has had a stroke, his cognitive abilities are just fine. I was impressed with the outdoor choices such as a pool, pond, walking paths, lanai, etc. I am hoping for some pool therapy for him.

Dog park and religious services a plus!

We never see any mess and the community is usually clean and smells fresh. The staff is all very helpful with the whole admission process. We never had any issues with the care either. We do feel like Inspired Living At Lakewood Ranch is a good value for the price.

My parents lived at Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch from the time they opened. When they opened we had great hopes for the facility. In the almost 4 years they've been open, they are now on the 9th Executive Director. They even changed Executive Directors during the pandemic. This once again cause loss of key personnel. I've had many issues over the years, including my parents getting stuck for 45 minutes in the elevator during a power outage! Their cleaning crew has never been good but I've found out this week they are horrid now given th pandemic and noone is inside checking on them. After the new ED came in and their best nurse left I started looking at other facilities. I found that they are gouging me on cost. I've been able to cut the costs by about 40%, and the new facility provides a higher level of care. I moved my parents into a brand new full memory care facility with amazing care and attention this week. They are so much happier already. I was not allowed to go in and pack and move them, had to have their named movers do it. When their belongings arrived at the new facility I was called by the Executive Director to tell me their beds were in awful condition, I needed to buy new ones (theirs I had bought 2 years ago but they weren't keeping the mattress pads on it). Also that their clothing was in awful condition, smelling of urine. The furniture was caked in dust. Before the pandemic I went in 2-3 times a week and picked up their apartment, always telling them what wasn't being done. It appears since I haven't been in there they have not done their jobs. Also, in the time that I gave them notice they ran out of one of my dads meds and I had to complain to get them to fill it (I pay for them!). I also found that some other things happened that they should have called me about and never did. I have called the parent company CEO in the past to voice my issues but they were never addressed properly. This place has had ups and downs since they opened with all the turnover, but this is outrageous what is going on now. Don't let the nice pool fool you, your loved ones need much more.

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.
