Inspirations Memory Care

They don't have an activities director right now. The caregivers and nurses perform these functions at this time and do a great job at it. The location is a nice size and a nice fit for my mom. I think the food looks good and is prepared fresh daily. It's kept very clean and they are the least expensive facility for compared to others with the same amenities. It's not too big and not too small. This is a great place to place a family member!

this was the place I chose! nice warm feeling and the perfect size for my mom's needs. Ilka was very nice to work with and I look forward to working with her in the future!

My mom loves it there. It's outstanding!

8/6 Spoke w/Erica. Best one so far: minimum stay required. $175.00 per day, 2 wk notice for respite. This one was most impressive.

Very nice place, I liked it a lot, and I am sure my mother would too.

Beautiful place, and liked it very much. This feels like a place my mother would like, and I do as well

Visited the Lutherville location on 1/25 @ ~3p. Very helpful and friendly staff. All rms are priv w/a bath attached. They stand by while residents takes showers to ensure safety. They do laundry. 16 beds. The residents I saw seemed happy and comfortable. They provide furniture, but residents can bring their own, and are encouraged to personalize their room. Rms are small, so a queen bed would dominate. Cable & tele hookups in each rm. Res provides phone if desired. 24hr care on site. A doc from GBMC visits. Outside doors always locked. No visiting hrs - can come at anytime. Can take Mom out anytime too, for drives or shopping or whatever. Daily activities M-F. If she misses a meal, she could only get a snack (the example I was given was if she missed breakfast, she could get coffee and toast). Meds can either be provided by me or go thru their local pharmacy. Med techs will administer. There is outdoor porch and a library room (plus a common area and an enclosed inner "porch"). Overall the place was clean and no odors. I also met the daughter of one of the residents who told me her Mom had been to several other AL facilities and to Shephard Pratt several times before coming to HeartHomes. Her Mom has been at HH for 4 yrs and has never returned to ShepPratt in that whole time. Also, the prev AL facilities were too large for her Mom to handle (which got me thinking maybe that added to Mom's anxiety at Sunrise).

I love this facility. I think it would be perfect for our Mom. I liked just about everything they have to offer and director was great!

Toured. Very nice, room somewhat small.

I've not experienced a whole lot yet with Covid restrictions. I've found that sometimes when I leave a message, it takes a while for someone to get back to me. I get the feeling they're short-staffed. The person who helped us get moved in was extremely helpful, but he has since left for a different position. And since then, it's been difficult to get ahold of someone. But they're very friendly and accommodating. They've been especially accommodating when it comes to visiting my loved one with my busy schedule, and that's been very helpful. The people I've interacted with are awesome. I hear form the staff that my loved one joins in all the activities and is the life of the party. With her dementia she often doesn't remember, but the staff do a good job keeping me up to date with what she's doing. All senior care is an investment, but they're on par with other places. And I know my loved one is safe. That's the most important thing to me.

The aids at this community are great. They are nice, friendly, outgoing and let me know what is going on with mom. They do seem to offer a lot of snacks during the day. They keep the community clean. They do offer a few activities, however I think they could add some additional activities. I would recommend this community.

My mom loves this place. Everyone there is very nice and has gotten to know her. The food is wonderful and all the residents love the cafeteria workers. The cafeteria is the highlight of the community. They have a sheet and they keep track of if the residents come down to meal time. I would recommend this community and I would suggest that everyone looking into a community have a sit down meeting and get the email addresses of everyone in charge.

We moved my mom into Inspirations Bayside in December. There was quite an adjustment, for my brother and I, more than probably for my mom. The facility had recently changed ownership and you can see that they have been upgrading a few things which is nice. The meals have been okay. It seems like the longer my mother has been there the more aware the staff are that she needs help with cutting her food due to being visually impaired. Her room is nice and is overall well-maintained, although we did find a pile of dirty Kleenex under her bed which suggests that they don't necessarily clean under the bed. We have our laundry done at the facility and I like that they do each residents laundry separately so we have had minimal issues with disappearing linens and clothes. Our biggest concern has always been the response to her call button. My mom sometimes need needs assistance in the bathroom and they don't always respond in a timely fashion to her call. The thing to keep in mind is the helper to resident ratio. This is a reasonably priced facility, but the ratio is not as good as some of the higher priced facilities.

Everything about Inspiration's Bayside Assisted Living community has been a great experience. We toured 5 and this is by far the best. Friendly, good food etc. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families!

What our family likes the most about the Inspirations' Bayside Assisted Living Community are the caring aides they have working there. We also really like the atmosphere of the community, it is a beautiful place. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

I toured this community and it was good!

I would not hesitate to have my mom stay at Woodlands Assisted Living. she likes it here and we especially like the room that my mom has, it's very lovely. its also a nice size, so she has plenty of space.

We chose Woodlands at the time because after speaking to a lot of people, we found out that no matter how much money you pay, you will get the same care. Also the convenient location played a factor for us so that she can be close. They tell me they have a chef on site cooking gourmet meals, but after seeing the meals they are not truly chef prepared. She has foods she is not able to eat and they continue to feed her these things. Whenever I speak to the director she is not able to give me straight answers on things. I think that she needs to be more involved in things that are going on. There has been a lack of communication and understanding and I feel they do not truly care about the residents, it is more about filling the beds. I do not feel that the value for the money is there for the amount of care she is receiving. If your loved one is going into any facility, you need to make sure you are an advocate for them.

I think its cheery and bright and feels very homey. What I've seen has been very clean. The furniture seems new, and everything seems new and clean. I've never noticed any smells, which has been an issue at other places. The staff seem caring and attentive. It's a small place, which I think is good. My loved one has fallen a couple of times, and they're always right there doing what they're supposed do, and they call 911. Their doctors will come in at any time if they're needed. They've been pretty attentive. They're starting to take the residents on little drives through the neighborhood on the bus. They have music during the week, which my loved one enjoys. I've seen an activities calendar, but it's hard to tell what she's actually participating in since she has dementia. When I ask her if she's happy there, she says yes. She's gained weight since she's been there and looks so much better. Everyone who works there seems very caring and compassionate. I feel comfortable having my loved one there, and I don't feel like I have to worry. My only complaint is lack of communication from their doctors, and I'm not a fan of their medical portal either. But the doctors do show up and are attentive.

We chose this community because they were smaller which we thought would be a better atmosphere, the location, and the price was more affordable. The room sizes were fine. The food options were okay, but they were not as good as some of the bigger facilities. They did not have a lot of activities provided for the residents in the memory care facility and her level of dementia was a lot lower than other residents, so my mom got a little bit bored and did not have enough stimulation. I would want others to know that the staff members here did truly care about the residents. I would recommend, overall and they were wonderful.
