Ask about this communityInspired Living Sarasota is a senior living community in Sarasota, Florida, near the South Tamiami Trail.

When we went to Inspired Living at Sarasota, we liked that it was not a hard sale pitch. We sat and had lunch together with the sales director, and we had conversations. We talked about our mother-in-law, and as we talked, she was telling us what the facility offered. They gave us the chance to taste the food that my mother-in-law would get. The chef had the place all set up in the room when we got there, then came in and introduced himself. Then we took a tour after that. I particularly appreciate the way they are set up, there's a very large area outside that is secured where they can go in…

We talked about our mother-in-law, and as we talked, she was telling us what the facility offered. They gave us the chance to taste the food that my mother-in-law would get. The chef had the place all set up in the room when we got there, then came in and introduced himself. Then we took a tour after that. I particularly appreciate the way they are set up, there's a very large area outside that is secured where they can go in and out if they want to go outside, and it's monitored. So if someone goes out, the staff is alerted so that they will check and make sure that they're not out there too long, or get dehydrated or anything like that. It's all memory care, but they have a variety of levels of memory care. So they've got to take care of those that are still very independent as well as those that are nearing the end of life. They have a good staff ratio. I appreciated that we got to meet some of the staff as we were walking around. We also talked with some of the patients as we were walking around, or people that live there, and it has a very homey feeling to it. The food was excellent, it's fresh and made from scratch.
I chose Inspired Living at Sarasota for my loved one because of their lovely outdoors. the individual rooms were big and the community seemed to be well run. unfortunately, my loved one was only able to stay for a very short time. a situation arose in which we would need to hire an aide for 24hr assistance if we wanted to continue care at Inspired Living. I truly believe that the community handled the situation appropriately, they contacted me immediately and explained what happened and what would need to happen moving forward. we were unable to hire the aide, so we were unable to continue…
I chose Inspired Living at Sarasota for my loved one because of their lovely outdoors. the individual rooms were big and the community seemed to be well run. unfortunately, my loved one was only able to stay for a very short time. a situation arose in which we would need to hire an aide for 24hr assistance if we wanted to continue care at Inspired Living. I truly believe that the community handled the situation appropriately, they contacted me immediately and explained what happened and what would need to happen moving forward. we were unable to hire the aide, so we were unable to continue care services there. although my loved one was unable to stay due to safety risks, there were no hard no feelings whatsoever. I am completely understanding of the mutual decision we agreed on. both the moving in and parting experience were great. it's also important to note that they refunded our money with no issue.
Magnificent community!
Inspired living is a very clean community, the staff members get 10 stars and the activities get 10 stars. The care services that are provided are great but the biggest challenge that everyone is facing is staffing. However anytime we have questions or concerns with our loved one we can call management and the address whatever it is promptly.
We chose Inspired Living at Sarasota for my mom. It's very close to my home, and the people there are very genuine and caring. She is moving on Saturday, and I've been there four or five times. I've observed their interactions with the residents. They've always been kind, respectful, and helpful. I only had cookies there, and they were very good. The facility is beautiful, and it's clean. It's modern in its layout and design. The outside is gorgeous. There's a beautiful courtyard, and there's plenty of room for the residents to feel comfortable.
My visit to Inspired Living at Sarasota was great. They were very nice, the place was nice, and it had the best outdoor facility for people who are high functioning. Everybody was very nice and very knowledgeable. It was great. The facility itself was really nice and beautiful; it looks like a hotel on the inside. They had two different-sized rooms: one was a larger room, and one was a smaller room. The smaller rooms are a little bit small, but they are adequate for somebody who really likes to be out doing social activities. It serves its purpose. The bathroom was a good size, the bedroom area was a little small, but other than that, it was sufficient. The food looks amazing; it's top notch.
I visited six different Memory Care facilities to find the right fit for my father. Inspired Living has a loving and caring staff. They keep the residents engaged with activities to keep their minds active and alert. They also offer “field trips” that the residents really enjoy. The facility feels like a luxury hotel and the outdoor area was by far superior to any of the other facilities I had considered. Lovely walking paths, green grass, beautiful trees and a large gazebo. My father often comments on how delicious the food is and is happy with his new friends. Overall I am very pleased with Inspired Living.
Please visit our Facebook page to see what a day is like in our beautiful community! We post multiple times a day so you, families and friends can see what your loved ones are engaged in, what our community looks like and meet our residents and staff. Making a decision to place your loved one is not always easy. We are here to help walk you through the journey. We are always open for tours, planned, unplanned or virtual on the spot, we welcome you. For me, choosing the right home for your loved one is all about the feels. Did you receive a warm greeting, did you feel welcomed, did you get to talk with the staff and other family members about there experiences and was it warm and inviting. Being person centered means building our days around each individual’s needs, likes and knowing there life stories while keeping alive who they were when then begin to forget. It’s about love, hugs, adding meaning and purpose to their day and meeting them where they are because they can’t meet us where we are. It’s a whole different language. Those with dementia live in moments of time. We can never give them that perfect day but we can give them those perfect moments and that is a good day. I have been with Inspired living going on seven years and I strongly believe in their vision and moral compass, “We care, think, understand and act quickly. We commit to being 1% better every day. We are generous in spirit” I’m proud and honored to serve those who once served us. Having to place my own father in memory care I’ve walked in your shoes. I know how you feel, what you need and I will do everything in my will to personally walk you through every step of the way. Sincerely, Sheri Derry, Executive Director.
