Distinctive Living

I am completely satisfied with Inspired Living @ Lakewood Ranch at Inspired Living this time. My brother-in-law [name removed] has been there since mid November 2025 and appears to have made the adjustment to assisted living and enjoys the facility. [names removed], as well as the front desk staff have been immensely helpful considering the long distance communication with have with them. I thank "A Place For Mom" helping me navigate the difficult system of finding "a place for [name removed]

We are truly grateful for the wonderful care provided at The Ridge at Grandview. The administrators and entire staff are consistently kind, helpful, and compassionate. Being a smaller facility creates a strong sense of community, and it’s clear how much personal attention and genuine care my mother receives every day. Everyone who works there is understanding, attentive, and passionate about what they do. It is truly a blessing that my mother is able to live there, and our family has great peace of mind knowing she is so well cared for. We are sincerely thankful for all they do.

-staff very good - very clean facility -easy to visit with ample parking -food is very good -daily activities are excellent -very friendly establishment - my brother seems very happy here.

In my brief visit, I encountered staff members who were very pleasant and willing to assist me with my inquiries. The environment was neat. Staff interruptions with residents was observed to be with utmost respect and empathy.

It's great. Our mom lives there now. It's very nice.

Inspired living was very clean and well run, as with a place for mom, they offered my help and guidance making the transition moving my husband there. unfortunately he was only there 2 nights before we needed to move him to hospice and that is where he passed.. I believe I moved him there too late and he would have done very well there..

I loved this tour as it was my second tour of a memory care facility which I feel is the best kind of care for my father at this life stage. I felt it was top notch and I was excited for my father to have such a great opportunity to receive care at a place that he could call learn to call his home. Unfortunately, the location was not ideal for my 83 year old mother to drive and she wanted a closer option.

Grandma has been in two other facilities and this one is our favorite. The staff really listen to her and us. They keep her busy and always have things going on. They also are great at communicating. Top notch place.

[removed name] goes out of her way to explain all the features and care involved with this facility. Staff seems engaged with the residents. The rooms were nice and lots of activities. The outdoors areas are excellent and contained but not in an obtrusive way.

Mira Vie's staff and residents were very welcoming. The facilities are clean and homey and up-to-date with today's decorating and standards. The activities schedule seems diverse and full and I could easily see my loved one here.

As a son of a current resident living with dementia, I’m incredibly grateful for the care my father receives at Inspired Living at Sun City Center. The staff is compassionate, patient, and truly understands memory care. They treat residents with dignity and make families feel supported every step of the way. Knowing my dad is safe, respected, and cared for brings our family real peace of mind. Highly recommend.

Inspired Living Lakewood Ranch is an amazing community with a fantastic staff who genuinely care about the residents. There are so many activities offered, creating a fun, engaging, and supportive environment. It’s clear how much pride the team takes in what they do. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had a conference with [removed name] about the possibility of getting my sister placed. [removed name] was absolutely straightforward and considerate. She spent close to an hour with us and never seemed impatient or outdone. Furthermore, I received followup calls from Amanda who was very generous with her time and gave me a great deal of information as well. I am grateful to them both.

1. 10-I know there were challenges getting [removed price] to agree that she needed assisted living and adjusting to being there but I saw the caring in the Director of Nursing and P.J. the nurses that made the home visit to assess [removed name]. Warm and caring. 2-10 [removed price] has said from the very beginning that the facility was very clean. I know how hard that is, working in healthcare myself. 3-10 The pre-admission visit, although teary, due to the sudden need for admission. [removed names] were amazing. [removed name] had a good feeling after that visit. Professional yet compassionate. 4-10 [removed name] had a rough start, she was not progressing with her physical therapy, prior to admission (2wks post op knee replacement), [removed name] had been told this was temporary, so she packed up her belongings several times before finally settling in. The staff were kind, despite offering help to [removed name] and being refused, they continued to try but did not force her. Eventually, with encouragement from her sister's visits, she unpacked and started getting into a routine. 5-10 As stated above, [removed name] was our first impression of Mira Vie and we both felt like we were in good hands from the beginning. 6-10 [removed name] has said from the beginning that the food is very good. She has always been a great cook and I think she enjoys having the option of using the dining room. She wasn't cooking or eating properly for some time prior to admission, so that is the big benefit. 7-10 While [removed name] did complain about not meeting people the first couple of weeks, something changed. She started meeting people she could talk to, sit on the porch with, especially when her mobility was limited because of her knee. Eventually, all within a matter of weeks, the switch flipped and [removed name] surprised everyone when she said she wanted to stay, that was the best idea! 8-10 Although I do not handle the finances, I did assist with looking for a facility and could see that Mira vie was competitive with many of the facilities offering aging in place. [removed name] is very happy with her apartment, she can drive and still be involved in activities outside of Mira Vie. Overall I think you did an amazing job. I explained to my niece that this transition went very smoothly and we have you to thank.

This was my very first tour so I am not at all experienced in doing this. The facility was clean and neat (even though it was lunch time), staff was friendly and accommodating, and residents I encountered seemed very happy there. [name removed], with whom I interviewed, took me on a tour of the facility. She was very knowledgeable about the facility and asked what I perceived to be important questions about my husband and the care that he needs. She was very sympathetic to his condition and knowledgeable about dementia related patients.

Excellent and friendly staff, paired with a clean, well-planned facility, made my overall experience very positive. Everyone I interacted with was attentive, professional, and genuinely kind, which helped create a welcoming environment from the moment I arrived. The layout and cleanliness of the facility also stood out — everything felt organized, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. The only drawback was that the paperwork required for admission felt a bit excessive and time-consuming. While I understand the need for thorough documentation, simplifying the process or offering some portions digitally ahead of time could make the experience even smoother. Overall, though, I was very impressed and appreciative of the care and atmosphere provided.

Before we placed our mother in the Inspired Living Memory Care facility, life was complete chaos in her home. Our mother had two adult children with learning disabilities that made things so much more complicated. My sister and I spent every day going over there to control the chaos. Unfortunately, it caused Everyone in the household and everyone out of the household a lot of stress, anxiety, and depression. Finding Inspired Living was a Godsend. Our mother now has her own room. We have scheduled daily visits from family members so that she sees someone familiar each and every day. But when we're not there, I can say truthfully, that we feel comforted knowing that someone is looking after her. There is someone making sure that she eats three meals a day. There is someone making sure that she is clean, goes to the restroom and gets herself changed when she needs. There is someone there to administer her daily medication. These three things have relieved so much stress just knowing that they're taken care of . Everyone at Inspired Living is extremely nice and friendly. We've even gotten to know some of the other residents. All questions are answered, they communicate with us if there's a problem. And they really seem to care about our mom. She is treated with respect and love and has willingly cooperated with the staff which is amazing.

Mom was only there for two weeks respite care. I was out of town. So I am giving ratings according to what she had to say. I was very impressed with how lovely & clean the Gardens is. However, after her stay, she had complaints about the food being cold all the time. And that she stayed in her room most of the time. She did not tell me of any activities she did. Since she does have memory loss, I'm not sure how reliable her complaints are.

I think all these care facilities are overpriced and out of reach for most people but comparatively speaking out of all the facilities in visited Mira Vie was the best value. Yes, we would recommend Mira Vie East Brunswick to other families based on the experience so far.

Staff plus outdoor space and access is we chose them
