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.
Finding this place as been a blessing, My mom has never been more happier and fulfilled and at peace than ever before. The staff truly goes above and beyond from catering to our needs to helping my sister who lives in Spain connect with my mom on a daily basis. Racheal, Nurse Naj, and everyone else are so phenomenal. Sometimes our mom forgets about me and my sister and it’s not because of her dementia but actually because there’s so many activities that my mom is too busy socializing and participate in everything. Every place should be run like Ivy Ridge, for once me and my sister can feel at peace knowing our mother is happy and safe and well taken care of mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. It’s truly a blessing to have found such a wonderful place
