Distinctive Living

Dad is 96 with Lewy bodies Dementia and Parkinson's and always says that he is living in a beautiful place. Free access to the beautiful outdoors, two screened lanai's, great food, loving and caring well staffed new home for Dad. I know he is well cared for. Lots of activities and family involvement. Could not have found a more wonderful place for Dad to be safe and well cared for.

My Mother was in need of a Senior Living Facility and I contacted the Chelsea at Forsgate. The facility and the staff was wonderful, accommodating and answered all of my questions openly and honestly. I was even provided a tour on very short notice. What was impressive that on the day I was to tour the facility, the amount of residents sitting in the common area, reading, listening to music, talking - it was nice to see them socializing and not sitting in their rooms; unfortunately the location in Monroe was not convenient for my mother and our family but I am holding on to their Brochure in case our situation should change. This would be the First phone call I wold make.

I am resident here at The Chelsea Forsgate and have been for over a year. Staying at Forsgate is a little different from being at home, but very close to my home environment. The staff is just like family members to me. Staff will reach out and helps me with anything I need. If you are considering a move for yourself or someone in your family I highly recommend Chelsea Forsgate.

Very nice facility and employees are very good, efficient and caring. It is also a very pretty place with wide hallways and a beautiful setting. Nice views out the window. My mother loves her apartment on the Independent Living side.

The most diverse clientele of all the places I looked at. Very friendly. Leadership is very attentive and goes above and beyond to be helpful. The activities are great. Overall very pleased with the experience so far.

My mom was at the Chelsea at Brick since March 2018. I couldn't of asked for a friendlier staff of caring individuals. They have treated us like family members since day one. My mom recently passed away and the outpouring calls and asking if we needed anything was incredible. The Chelsea is a clean, welcoming modern facility, I would recommend to any family.They have many activities to accommodate all.

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.

I had to place my husband in care while I had surgery and recovery. He was very happy, well cared for and enjoyed the entire time. All of the staff and employees were absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this facility to anyone. It really is a wonderful place.

We are new to Inspire however, have been happy with what we have seen. The admissions person has gone above and beyond to help us. Also, amazing how they know everyone's name and speak to the residents by name. There also seems to be a nice variety of activities for the residents to enjoy throughout the day. Thank you again for everything!!

I don't often write reviews, however, my experience touring Autumn Leaves in Venice was something to write about. I have researched and/or toured every Assisted Living and Memory Care Program in SouthWest Florida finding nothing I could feel good or confident about. After my visit to Autumn Leaves, I finally felt a sense of relief that there was an option for my father to live in a safe, dignified and caring environment where his needs could be met respectfully. The physical facility was brand new and immaculate and was decorated in a way that was warm and homey. The staff were professional, friendly and really knowledgeable about Alzheimer's Disease. They definitely related to what our family and father have been going through. They were able to answer all of our questions and concerns. I was also impressed with the plans for high quality food services and stimulating activities for the residents. I'd highly recommend looking at this residence if you're needing to go through the ordeal of moving a family member to an Assisted Living Care environment

I have been searching for the best care for my father who sadly has suffered with Alzheimer's Disease. I have toured every possible Assisted Living and Memory Care Facility in South West FL. I found Autumn Leaves in Venice to be the absolute best residence and the only one I would consider moving my father to. The physical environment was beautiful and dignified. The staff that we met were compassionate, knowledgeable and supportive towards my father and my family. The activities, living environment, privacy and actual treatment was so impressive. We left our tour feeling for the first time with a sense of relief that we now have an option for quality and respectful care for our father.

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.

Overall, we are pleased with Inspired Living in Kenner. It is apparent that they are having some growing pains as the facility adds residents. Some response times have been very poor but management is quick to recognize and have taken corrective action. The Head Nurse, [Removed], has been fantastic and the sales folks are very cordial and helpful.

For the most part I do feel my mother is very satisfied with her move to this community. It is good, safe facility with great people. I think they have a nice hiring selection, and the staff that works here is good. They have been responsive to any concerns she may have. When I visit the community, and her room is well maintained. They do provide nice meals, and good activities for the residents. I do feel comfortable with her move to this community, and it is one I would recommend.

Inspired Living at Sun City has been a great move for my aunt. She is doing so much better since moving to this community. Also, the move was beneficial to our family because it is conveniently located where we can visit her more often. The food is very good, we can't wait to go on prime rib night, they have a great chef there, and another lady supplies homegrown herbs. They give the residents snacks and keep them hydrated throughout the day. We really like the fact that they encourage the residents to get out of their room and try and engage them in the numerous activities that they provide. My aunt is an early riser so she enjoys everything they have to keep her busy. They have several rooms set up for activities and entertainment comes in to entertain the residents. The atmosphere is inviting and they are welcoming to our family when we come to visit. I really enjoy the oldies music they have playing. There are porches and day rooms to enjoy the outdoor views, and a courtyard for them to walk around and get some exercise, or just enjoy the fresh air. The place is nicely landscaped and well-maintained. They provide transportation for those who can take part in going shopping, Dr. appointments, or out to restaurants located nearby. We would definitely recommend this community to friends and family.

The director of the community and the doctor walked me through everything. They held my hand and were very supportive. The staff I have met have been great. My loved one likes the food and they do offer some daily activities. The community is clean and well taken care of.

My husband is currently in his 2nd respite care at Ivy Ridge. He and I chose Ivy Ridge because the people living there have activities going on just about all the time, including a popular bingo game every evening at 6Pm. People are free to choose activities , meal choices, and may go to their rooms when they choose. From our observation of other places we felt they seem to be more oriented to the families rather than to the patients. Ivy Ridge is definitely oriented and engaged with their patients. My husband's first stay was for a month. This current one will probably be longer. I've been in al all hours and have been pleased with all shifts. My background is in nursing/administration

The food at this community is excellent and the chef comes out to interact with the residents. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. This is a beautiful place and they offer daily activities. I would recommend coming to take a look to see if it is the right fit for your loved one

The community was very organized. I received enough information about the community from the advisor. I also received a proper tour of the whole community. The staff there were all very nice and attentive. There were many common areas and activities. The community also offered Housekeeping and Laundry service / dry cleaning.

My mother spent her last three years in Inspired Living at Hidden Lakes with dementia, among nurses who cared about her and cried at her death. She was not an easy patient, but the staff treated her with tremendous respect and kindness and I am very grateful. They made her last years comfortable and she became extremely fond of her them, and they did of her. The whole experience was positive and I can highly recommend this facility if you are unfortunate enough to be in the position of needing to find good care for your loved one with memory problems.
