If you are looking for a memory care facility for a loved one look no further! My brother in law and my husband were residents at Inspired Living Tampa and now my husband has moved to Inspired Ivy Ridge in St Petersburg. The residents are well cared for, safe, clean and fed three meals a day and snacks. They also provide activities. Ive found the staff to be kind, gentle and attentive. I’ve used Inspired for a total of nine years.
Review – Tour of Inspired Living Ivy Ridge Memory Care (3/6/26)
I am writing this review to help people like myself who are searching for a place for their mother or another loved one.
Overall, the facility seemed okay at first glance, and the staff I encountered were polite during my visit. I went around lunchtime, which gave me a chance to see how things looked and felt during a normal part of the day.
However, once I walked into the memory care area, I immediately noticed an overwhelming mix of smells. There were strong odors from the food being served as well as from cleaning agents. The smell of the cleaning products in particular was very strong and, to me, quite noxious. It made it difficult to focus on anything else during the tour.
One positive aspect is that the two outdoor courtyards are very nice and appear to provide a pleasant space for residents to get fresh air and spend time outside.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get past the smells inside the memory care area. My mom is currently in a memory care facility in South Florida, so I do have some experience with these environments. Based on my visit, I personally would not feel comfortable placing her at Inspired Living Ivy Ridge Memory Care. That said, everyone’s situation is different, and some families may not have as many choices available.
I hope sharing my experience helps others who are going through the difficult process of finding the right place for a loved one.
I had an amazing experience with Inspired Living, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the care and support I received. From the moment I connected with them, I felt welcomed, valued, and genuinely cared for.
Angelica was absolutely incredible throughout the entire process. She was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also compassionate, patient, and attentive to my needs. She took the time to really listen, answer all of my questions, and guide me every step of the way with kindness and understanding. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond the way she does.
Thanks to Angelica and the team at Inspired Living, I felt supported and confident in my experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place where people truly care and make a difference.
