Inspired Living at Ivy Ridge

My father is at Inspired Living at Ivy Ridge. I have not been inside because of the coronavirus, but I am very pleased with the people. They're very sweet and kind to me. I'm glad I got him there because I think it might be more of a caring place. There are three ways you can visit, like you can visit through the iPhone or the iPad. They also have visits where you can do it through the window; they give him a cell phone, they call my number, and then I talk to him through the window, and I have done that every other day. I don't know if there's a time limit because I've been there at the most a little bit over an hour. Most of the time it's a half hour to an hour, and they provide the phone. The other thing that they have is they have a hug booth where they have put a bunch of polyethylene and you can put your arms through. It's all in plastic, and the person visiting gets their arms in plastic, and you actually can hug your mom or dad. They were on TV about that. They have a printout they put out once a month on what they're going to do with them daily. They play bingo. Each month is a different theme, so this month is Greek. They learn Greek words. My dad said he's eating really well. He gets three meals a day and a couple snacks, and he likes the food.

We were very impressed with Inspired Living. All they did was memory care, but every person had a private room. They're able to go in and out of the building at will without being locked from the outside. The outside isn't walled, it's gated, so you can see outside and watch the people, cars, and even children. It wasn't so secluded from the rest of the world, and that impressed me. The director there was so knowledgeable about Alzheimer's and dementia. They have a cafe, and they can choose what they want. They can make their own decisions as long as it isn't harmful. All those things were very impressive to me. The room was nice, big, with an area for sitting, the bathroom was really great, with a lot of safety features, and with nice, big windows to see outside. The dining area was very nice, with smaller tables for four chairs. It's a pleasant area. The staff was very good and knowledgeable. The facility was bright, cheerful, and absolutely home-like.

The people at Inspired Living at Ivy Ridge are very loving and caring for their patients. My wife gets meals, gets dressed and undressed, and they change her diaper, watch out for her, and give her medications. They have entertainment. My wife has a single room with a bed and dresser. There are also a couple chairs, and a bathroom with a shower, and there's no climbing over a barrier to get into the shower and out. She also has television in the room. They have access to the outside open areas with walkways, benches and grass. They also exercise. I think we're getting our money's worth.

Inspired Living at Ivy Ridge was terrific, very quiet, and very small. It didn't feel like you're being warehoused there because you could get more individual attention. The rooms were a good size. I especially liked the idea that if you went there, you're locked into whatever price you pay, so no raise in future years. The grounds were pretty nice. Everything about the place was nice.

Inspired Living at Ivy Ridge was great. I enjoyed it because it was all memory care. I got a good tour and good information from Ms. Dawn who guided me. It seems pretty reasonable, and there are lots of activities. I really thought it was a good place for the future. It seemed very secure, and the rooms are spacious and great.

I was very impressed by how knowledgeable there were at Inspired Living at Ivy Ridge. They're strictly memory care, and what was nice was they broke the memory care into 2 groups so the higher-functioning ones could be together and the lower-functioning ones could be together. My aunt would have the opportunity to talk to people, but there are too many people, and she gets overwhelmed with that.
