Have to say, Inspired Living at Tampa provides personalized memory care and assisted living services specifically designed for seniors with Alzheimer s disease, dementia or other memory impairments. It is apparent that residents are truly at the center of their care, forming the foundation for a unique approach tailored to meet individual needs and preferences. It is a pleasure to bring Fit Minds to Inspired Living to transform the way seniors keep their brains sharp so that they can be all they can be through cognitive stimulation. The Inspired Living Tampa staff work extremely hard and care deeply for their residents! Just look at those smiles!

I am grateful for the way Charlie has implemented the safety procedures to keep the staff and residents healthy and safe during this pandemic. Inspired living Tampa has a great group of Hero s caring for their residents.

I have worked in many ALF facilities in my career as a physical therapist assistant. Inspired is definitely a shining star for multiple reasons. Not only is it a beautiful, well-maintained, extremely clean facility, the food looks delicious as well. But, most importantly, the entire staff goes above and beyond! Starting with
Charley White, ED down to caregivers, custodians, etc., Each staff member truly cares and shows it with kindness, laughter, or a hug if needed. Walking into a facility and seeing that level of care warmed my heart. Inspired has been a favorite, if not THE favorite ever since!

The staff and programs at Inspired Living at Tampa are exceptional. Our mom was well cared for, respected and encouraged to participate in all the fun and meaningful activities. Being so far away, it was a relief to know she was in such good hands I would recommend this memory care home to anyone looking for a caring place for family.

As a Fit Minds coach, I support residents at Inspired Living Tampa. I am in the community so much that I feel like I am part of their team, which is wonderful! Kudos to Charlie, the Executive Director, who has been there for years and runs a caring, high quality community.

I cannot say enough regarding the leadership and staff at Inspired Living. They went above and beyond in the care of my mom. My family will be forever grateful for their kindness and care.

Inspired living Tampa is a great place to volunteer. I have enjoyed spending time with the residents. The staff is very caring, you can tell they love the residents. The activities they have for the residents are fun and very entertaining. My favorite activity to help with was Trivia they residents love it. I can t wait to volunteer again as soon as I am able to.

The team at Inspired Living at Tampa take great pride in caring for the moms and dads that live there. There is great energy and a tremendous amount of love in the air! Thank you for all the great work you do everyday!

My mom was a resident at Inspired Living Tampa for many years. The staff took great care of her. My family and I are so grateful for the care and experience that was provided.

I am extremely pleased with Inspired Living at Tampa. My mother was in a previous assisted living facility that ignored her health concerns and social needs. Inspired Living is the complete opposite. Since she entered the facility about 2 months ago she has gone from probably 6 months to live to completely thriving with probably many years more to enjoy. The staff at Inspired Living including Misty Ryden, the director of Nursing and Charlie White, the director of the facility are extremely detail oriented, know details about every resident there, and are passionate about what they do in the care of my mother. The culture of the facility is to keep all of the resident active all day long with great engaging activities and very good food. I would highly recommend Inspired Living at Tampa to anyone looking to find a memory care facility in the Tampa area.

My experience at Inspired Living at Tampa was one I will always hold in high regard. The entire staff genuinely cares deeply about the residents. From the Care Staff, who are so patient and compassionate, to the Resident Engagement team, whose Director, Marlene, so thoughtfully and diligently plans and leads creative activities for the residents and pours genuine love and compassion into all her interactions, to the Sales Director, Michelle, who very carefully plans a seamless welcome and rolls out a literal red carpet for each new resident, making each and every person feel special and welcome and reassured throughout the entire process of moving in. I would consistently see servers, kitchen staff, even housekeeping staff take time out of their busy work day to pause and help a resident, walking them to their apartment, or lending an ear or warm smile to anyone needing a friend. Most of all, I was impressed with the guidance and heart of Inspired Living Tampa s Executive Director, Charlie White, who leads by example by demonstrating a genuine interest and care in making sure that the community is always a great experience for both residents and staff. I would highly recommend Inspired Living Tampa to anyone, as a place to live or work!

What a wonderful experience visiting Inspired Living.
There was such a warm welcoming by Mr. White and Johanna. The care and love from the staff to the residents will melt your Heart.
It's a blessing to have this place in Tampa.

We are delighted with the care our Mom is getting at Hidden Lakes Inspired Living. In addition to a failing memory, at age 94, Mom has several other conditions which complicate the care she needs. Mom requires very special attention.
We were concerned that she might not be able to accept living at any care facility. We are, therefore, extremely pleased that Mom feels completely at home at Hidden Lakes. We thank the staff at Hidden Lakes for the extraordinary care given our Mom, for getting her to feel comfortable at her new home and for giving us peace-of-mind.

Very beautiful facility. I enjoy the staff that I work with. Shari is a great nurse on 3rd shift. She looks out for all the residents and staff. I'm proud of the staff I work with.

Inspired Living came highly recommended by the assisted living staff where my mother lived previously. We visited several and it stood out to us as well. The care my mother received there was excellent and the staff who assisted her were very kind and attentive. I'm happy we chose this facility.

Mother was a resident at Inspired Living for a little over a year. Initially, care by staff was great. However, changes in leadership lead to a high turnover of the CNA staff. While my mothers health declined and she became unresponsive, it was apparent she wasn't even receiving the most basic care (mouth care, general hygiene, feeding) resulting in the development of a sacral bed sore. In addition, the wedding ring set my mother never took off suddenly went "missing" after she became unresponsive. My mother was finally transferred to Hospice and passed away the following morning. As a health care professional, I would not recommend this facility unless significant changes are made.

Inspired Living is an excellent place for that special care of your loved ones. The staff and administration are caring, respectful, and detail oriented. As a frequent visitor, I always notice the staff spending one on one time with the residents. They are attentive and respectful to everyone! Not only do they have amazing facilities, but they always bring in entertainment and exciting activities for the residents to enjoy. If you're looking for a place for a loved one with special needs, this is the place to visit!!

I am the daughter of an 87 year old Mother, now at Inspired Living. What unfortunate circumstances my brothers and I endured with a facility on the East coast, for 3 months prior to finding Inspired Living. Through personal research, and much trust in a local professional, we have now found Mom's forever home. She will be at Inspired one month tomorrow, and the difference is astounding. My first window visit was last week, and all I could do was giggle, at her smiles, her wit, and how beautiful she looked. Prior to Inspired, she was allowed to wear a nightgown all day. Saturday, she had her clothes on, with makeup and her jewelry. But, the best by far, was that smile and continuous chatter, that made my heart melt. Thank you Inspired Living Tampa for giving our Mom back ;D

P.S. If ever anyone is unsure of choosing Inspired Living Tampa, I will be happy to share my story.

My mother has been a resident of Inspired Living for over a year. After touring all of my options, i knew immediately that Inspired was the right choice. The facility is clean and inviting. It does not have an institutional feel at all, as did so many other memory care facilities that we toured. The resident rooms are large and well laid out, and the common areas are very comfortable and homey. The employees are kind, patient, professional and truly engaged. We have been very impressed with the level of personal care. My mother is doing well; she is happy and engaged. Knowing she is safe and well cared for, gives us great peace of mind during a very difficult time. Without hesitation, I would recommend Inspired Living of Tampa.

Very impressive first impression. The staff and facility made my family feel very comfortable, and happy we found a great residence for Dad to enjoy. First Class all the way! Thank you to all the staff for what you do on a daily basis.

My mother recently past after being a resident at Inspired Living for 20 months. Our family believes that the level of care and compassion they provided for her truly extended and increased her quality of life. The care also extended to us as family members.
I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the front desk staff of Myriam, Michelle and Dee for always being a bright spot when you first come in. A very special thank to Betzy and Amber who through the 20 months went above and beyond to take care of my mother and the family. Thank you for the attention, kindness and tenderness that you treated her with and the constant communication that you provided to us.

Inspired Living of Tampa is most likely the premier facility in Tampa for memory care. The care level is unsurpassed. If you've ever had a loved one in a memory care facility you know the level of care and expertise is THE most important requirement. I think it's fantastic that children come and visit with the residents! The care level, the activities, the building, the food just all around everything you could ask for in a memory care facility!

Inspired Living Tampa is a beautiful facility. We are always greeted by Dee who is kind and helpful. The administration and staff, Charlie and Yuni, always treat my grandmother as if she were their own family member. As difficult as it has been having a loved one with Dementia, they always dignify her and have been supportive every step of the way. We are always impressed with their amazing activities director, Soraya, as well. The activities are appropriate and stimulating for memory care patients. It warms our hearts to see the residents singing and dancing, if able, with smiles on their faces.

What a great facility specializing in Memory Care. The staff is simply amazing, super patient and very kind. Everyone (from the chef to the receptionist, to the admin and nursing staff) is always smiling....you can tell because the most important part, their residents, are always smiling too.

Marlene is amazing ! The entire staff at Inspired Living of Tampa are taking wonderful care of my dad! Thank You and God Bless all that care for our parents when we are not able to!

I am so pleased to have found Inspired Living. When it became obvious mom needed to be at a Memory Care facility I did a lot of research and visits to ALFs. Upon my first visit to Inspired I knew I found THE PLACE warm, friendly, clean, open, bright.
My mom is outspoken, independent, and sometimes cantankerous but she can be herself here and it s okay. The staff are what makes Inspired wonderful, everybody here wants mom to have a good day and try very hard to ensure her safety and happiness.
This is THE PLACE.

Inspired Living at Tampa has done a terrific job caring for my father, who suffers from significant cognitive decline and non-Alzheimer's memory loss. He is treated kindly and with respect, and is well known by the staff, despite his penchant for reclusiveness. Speaking of staff, the resident/staff ratio is very good. The facility is exceptionally clean, and they keep up dad's room very well. I've toured a dozen facilities in town, and dad was in one other prior to ILT - ILT is the best.

My first impression of Inspired Living of Tampa was nothing but exceptional. From the state of the art community to providing the best service and care. 10/10 would recommend for a loved one.

We have photographed a lot of events at Inspired Living Tampa and are always impressed with how kind and caring the staff are. They go out of their way to make the residents comfortable and content. They have a lot of events throughout the year and the residents seem truly happy. We love working events here!

We have been part of the ILT family since August 2015. I thank God everyday for helping me find our way here. Thank you all for all you for us everyday!

I feel so lucky that we found Inspired Living, Tampa for my mom. Their care and attention to detail for every resident is astounding. Their efforts during the COVID crisis has been unbelievable and I cannot thank them enough. They quickly put social distancing rules in place (even before the governor mandated it) and have kept a phenomenal balance between quarantining the residents while still keeping them entertained and active on an individual basis. It has taken a phenomenal team to quickly change their job descriptions to give each resident personal time now, put themselves at risk each day they come to work, and provide it all with smiles and empathy. Thank you so much to Charlie White, director and the entire team for everything you are doing to keep our loved ones safe!

With deep gratitude, I thank you. You gave my dad a home, not just somewhere to live and keep him safe, but a home. You gave him dignity, love and compassion as Alzheimer's took him away. During his last days you blessed me with stories, memories of his time with you. Dad was part of your family, and I felt I was too. I still watch the facebook videos, no longer looking for a peep of dad, but looking for his friends and what everyone is up to. Dad is with mom now. But when they were planning their retirement, it didn't include memory care living. We had some pretty bad experiences before we found you guys. I highly recommend this home for your loved one. Its not fun to make this decision, but Charlie and his dedicated crew go above and beyond. I will always be grateful to the Inspired Living family.

Inspired Living was by far the most impressive memory care facility I saw when I began searching for a place for my father. He has been there for 8 months now and I am even more impressed than I was when I first visited. The management and staff are patient, helpful and kind. The facility is cheerful, clean and well kept. There are lots of activities to choose from that my father enjoys. He also really likes the food. It's such a huge relief knowing my father is safe and well cared for.

Great place with exceptional staff. Mom has improved since moving to Inspired Living. The staff keeps her active and involved in activities. Only negative is activity area is too small as the staff usually has most residents involved. Food service is great.

I have visited Inspired Living several times and have always been impressed by the kindess of the staff, the cleanliness of the facility and the quality of activities keeping the residents engaged!! They treat everyone with respect and dignity and the best part is that you can really tell the staff love what they do and are always finding new ways to help, grow and care for their residents!!

I have been a visiting Zumba Instructor to Inspired Living Tampa for almost 2 years now. I have to say that it is such a privilege for me to be a part of the magic that goes on there. The staff does a fabulous job of keeping their residents very happy with all the field trips and activities. By the time I arrive there for the dance party, the staff, as well as the residents, all participate. For an hour in time, we are all 21 years old. If I did have a family member that needed their services, I would feel quite confident that they would be in excellent hands.

I'm writing this review in the wake of Hurricane Irma and reflecting on all the help I received before, during and after the storm. The Inspired Living at Tampa staff and Director Charlie White are at the top of the list.

If you are reading this you probably have a loved one that is suffering from dementia and know that traumatic events and disrupting their routine can have negative results. This was just one of my concerns in the days leading up to Hurricane Irma, along with what to do with my family, boarding up the house and pitching in to help the neighborhood.

Charlie White and the Inspired Living at Tampa staff put my mind at ease, when it came to the issue of what to do with my mother. They had a well thought out plan, tracked the storm and communicated with me on a daily basis, before, during and after the storm. Knowing that my mother was in good hands allowed me to focus on getting my family and neighbor out of harms way. I can't thank the folks at Inspired Living enough for their professionalism and dedication. These staff members left their families in a time of need in order to ensure the safety and well being of their residents. Again , a big "Thank You" to the staff of Inspired Living at Tampa!

My mother is going on three years at Inspired Living and I can't say enough good things about the level of care, cleanliness and professionalism she receives there on a daily basis. If you are searching for a Memory Care Unit that will treat your loved one with dignity and go the extra mile to provide them with the best quality of life possible, I highly recommend that you look into Inspired Living at Tampa.

No one ever wants to relocate a loved one to an assisted living facility, but sometimes you have no choice. There are many to choose from, but if you are fortune you may discover one that stands out above all, like I did. Inspired Living at Tampa is not just a memory facility, it is a home away from home giving your loved ones a sense of friendship, love, and security. The staff s attitude, I can help you with that, encourages friendships with staff, residents, and resident s families, giving you a feeling belonging. No matter what s happening, the staff goes above and beyond, whether it s Yuni reaching out with an update, Marlene sharing her world-wide adventures she creates, Enrique offering operation assistance, along with numerous other staff members who support you in so many other ways, and Charlie, the rock who is always there ready to assist and provide guidance down the path we all must follow. What more could anyone ask for. Thank you all for your friendship, love, and security you share with my Dad, Jim, and myself, Lynn. You have given my dad a quality of life that far surpasses any expectation I could have imaged. If you are looking for a home for your love one, look no further. I promise you; you will find everything you are looking for and more at Inspired Living at Tampa.

Inspired Living of Tampa is a beautiful community. Activities are fun and the staff are very upbeat and caring. All of the residents are well taken care of. Menu is great- lots of options. Would highly recommend.

We were looking for a facility that was strictly Memory Care, not combined with Assisted Living. A Place for Mom, thanks DEBBIE Rogers, suggested a starting point of 3 communities. Since I live out of state, my sister in laws girlfriend did the legwork for us.
Throughout the process, Courtney Wick, at Inspired Living of Tampa was our liason. Never had we seen such professionalism combined with love and diligence in a contact. She made a house call to meet and greet my sister-in-law prior to our decision and this greatly eased the transition for us.
The move took place 5 days ago and Courtney is making sure that all the bases are covered. The staff is outstanding, the food is way above average, and the facility functions at a very high level.
Kudos to everyone at Inspired Living of Tampa for making a painful relocation, a thing of beauty.

We moved my mom in 6 months ago and have been very happy with the level of care she receives. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. We visit several times a week and find mama involved in some activity. When we ask for something to be done we can rely on the staff to follow through. I would highly recommend ILT.

My mother has been in this facility for several months and during that time has been very well cared for. Because of the challenges and restrictions necessitated by COVID-19, we have not been able to see or visit her in person, but are grateful to have been able to stay in touch by video conferencing. The staff is very accommodating with FaceTime visits and the care and attention she receives is wonderful. My mother always looks clean, happy and well cared for. The staff goes the extra mile to provide excellent care, which is much appreciated by our family, especially in these difficult circumstances.

As a past employee with Inspired Living Tampa, I can tell you without a doubt that this is a fantastic facility for everyone who lives there and works there. The love, time, and attention given to each resident is incredible. There is a warm feeling the moment you enter the building. As someone who saw "behind the scenes" each day, I can tell you that this is hands-down the ONLY place in the area that I would feel comfortable sending a family member to live!

Inspired Living was the best decision my family made for our mother. It was a tough decision because she had been independent for so very long. In the perfect world one of us kids would've taken her in but we all worked full-time and she needed full-time care. Attached is a letter I wrote last week to Inspired Living thanking them for the last 2 years. Our mom did pass last week but we are all so grateful she was able to spend the last two years with such an amazing community of residents and staff; they truly became her extended family. I will FOREVER be grateful to the staff of Inspired Living.

I am so pleased with my Dad's experience at Inspired Living. He has been in several other facilities but I have always been worried about him and his level of care. Finally, because of Charlie and his staff, I can sleep well at night knowing my Dad is lovingly cared for and treated with respect. My kids will be making 60 Easter cards for all residents to show our appreciation. I would recommend anyone with a loved one with memory issues strongly consider making Inspired Living their home. Thank you to all the caregivers for taking such good care of my Dad. God bless all of you for sharing your love and compassion with your residents and their families. You all make a meaningful difference everyday!

We were so lucky that we moved my mother in a year ago. During this hardest of years, not only has she been kept safe and sound, but she is happy and thriving. The staff is wonderful, activities are plentiful, and communication is pleasant and helpful. While everything else has been hard in the world, knowing mom is well cared for and happy makes all the difference.

I do a lot of video work at Assisted Living and Memory Care facilities, but Validus Inspired Living Tampa really stood out in a great way! Not only was the facility clean, organised, and meticulously maintained, the staff were exceptional. Throughout my visit, the staff knew everyone there and gave them top priority... because they cared genuinely! I always say that great employees are ones who do their job with pride because it's the right ting to do, not because they have to... this location is blessed with great quality people who care! Thank you for putting a smile on my face that day, and on your residents faces every day!

As a regular entertainer at Inspired Living Tampa I always look forward to performing for the residents and staff at such a fun facility.

I have worked in many facilities in the past 30 years, and am truly impressed with the care provided at Inspired Living Tampa. When you walk into the facility, you feel surrounded by professionals. The residents are well cared for by the nursing staff, the activities department is active throughout the day, and the food looks delicious. I highly recommend this facility for your loved ones.

Knowing my mother is in a clean facility with plenty of planned activities gives me a great sense of relief. Inspired Living provides that and more!

I couldn't be more thankful to have found Inspired Living at Tampa for my dear uncle. The last thing we wanted to do was move him from his home but at Inspired Living, we found a beautiful place for him to live with warm, friendly, upbeat people who care for him. I selected his apartment for it's view of the garden walkways out back but mostly for the gorgeous marine reef ecosystem (aquarium) and outstanding underwater scene mural (by Ron Berman) positioned outside his front door. WOW! These amenities are truly inspired. During the holidays I was delighted to accompany my uncle to an abbreviated performance of The Nutcracker and on another day, Inspired Living was hosting a holiday disco and dance party. The groove and the mood were uplifting and as a frequent visitor there, I appreciate the thoughtful attention to details and programming. Thank you Inspired Living at Tampa for providing a safe, beautiful and positive environment for my loved one.

My late husband George stayed at Inspired Living -Kelly Road and just like the name it is , he felt inspired by everyone there! Everyday he was inspired to live his best life there. The staff made him feel that way and so did the residents. When deciding on a place I looked at five other places and left crying but when I visited this place I left crying happy tears because I could sense this was going to be a great place . AND IT WAS!!!

I visit Inspired on a weekly basis and the place is beautiful. The residents are always so well dressed and appear to be very well taken care of. This is the only memory care place I have seen with such a huge outside area for the residents to spend time in. The kids that come are great too! Smiles galore!

Inspired Living of Tampa is a beautiful, warm and loving home with a wonderful staff who genuinely care about their residents. I have been thoroughly pleased with the amenities and activities they consistently provide for my loved one. The facility is well maintained and clean, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and the residents are well cared for.

My experience with Inspired Living Tampa has been wonderful. Mom has been there since March 18, 2020. When she went in, we had no idea COVID 19 would be as it has been. I ll admit it has not been easy on us or Mom, not being able to visit since she arrived. It has made the transition much more difficult. But through it all, the entire staff from Courtney, Michelle and Charlie, Yuni, Louisa, Betzy, Dimmeras, and all of the many I ve spoken with have been personal, kind, compassionate and caring to Mom and our family. They have gone above and beyond the call of duty keeping us up to date on her progress.

Mom says, This place is beautiful, very clean, the grounds are lovely, the food is good, the caregivers are wonderful and my friends. She is participating in most of the many activities. She says she has improved since she got there. She would still rather be at home, but wants to take the caregivers with her. That will take time. It will be better when we can finally visit in person. But even in this difficult time, they have gone the extra mile to make FaceTime, window visits and now the hugging booth available and personal, and the daily experience for the residents fun, stimulating, and safe.

Thank you, Inspired Living, you live up to your name!!

I am very confident with the care my loved one is getting here. The staff truly cares, everyone is friendly and being able for the residents to walk outside is a big plus.
