Inspired Living at Kenner

What we really like about Inspired Living is the staff, facility, and activities were above par compared to other facilities. They really wanted the residents to interact as a community which we thought our dad would enjoy. Other facilities we were in did not promote that to the level of this facility

They are lacking in staff on the floors and in the kitchen/dinning hall. With that being said, what was promised as far as consistent care and good meals, this assisted living is lacking. The people they do have in place are doing a good job. The hair/nail salon has yet to be staffed with a qualified and reliable person. Very disappointing!

The staff are great to work with and are helpful in answering my questions. This has been the best experience we have experienced. The staff are on top of caring for my loved one. The only concern we have had is my loved one had a bed sore on them. I just wish the staff would have let me know about this instead of me finding out on my own.. The community is willing to work with hospice to make sure the residents are comfortable and cared for. Inspired Living makes sure that I'm able to see my loved one and it is a secure community.

This is a beautiful community. There is a high turn over with care partners. I also feel like the care partners are not managed well and you have to do a lot of follow up to make sure that your loved one is really getting what it is that they need. They have activities like field trips, they have memory games, board games, physical activity and more for the residents to do to have a good time.

The community is cheerful, clean, and up-to-date. It is better for those residents that are more independent then end of life. It would be an excellent place for assisted living. The memory care unit was run different than the assisted living unit. I would recommend it as a top choice to check out the community for their loved ones.. I would check several communities out for a reference point, and visit all the places in person.

We chose Inspired Living because the facility is immaculate and very clean, the staff is very friendly, and also they offer 24 hour care if you needed it. She had her own private room which was important to us. We did have to put her in memory care even though she was completely with it mentally so that was not a good mix. But they were great here and I would definitely recommend them to others who are looking.

I think they take excellent care of my mom and they are always in close communication with me. She has fallen a couple of times which is why I gave the care a 4 but the caretakers called me right away each time that it happened which I really appreciate. The marketing woman [name removed] has been wonderful to be and I have met the executive director and they have been just as nice and always offer their help. I know she loves playing bingo and watching the movies, she usually participates in a lot of the activities. I do wish that they offered more activities in the memory care side as they do on the assisted living side. I would highly recommend Inspired Living to others. I feel confident she is getting the best care that she can get here.

The few times we have been able to visit the community it was clean and there were no fowl smells. The staff members are very friendly and cooperative, and we had no issues with the care services. The meals seemed to be pretty good, and they are being hand delivered to their rooms right now due to covid. They do have a lot of internal activities. They have a wide variety of things to keep in interesting. They also have arts and crafts, quiet times and live entertainment.

It's a nice facility, and it's a step up from the traditional nursing home. They engage the residents in memory care. I would recommend this community to others

Inspired Living has been a great experience. They have done an exemplary job during COVID and took precaution to protect the residents before the President even announced it. They followed the state department and CDC using masks, gloves, taking temperatures, and checking oxygen of residents as well. The director sends a recorded weekly update to families. The staff are very responsive. The staff really engage the residents in activities such as karaoke night, wine night, happy hour, thai chi, trivia night, and they even brought in a clothing vendor once. They have a coffee bar in the lobby with fresh fruit and pastries available all day. The food is good and they have sandwiches and salads available all day in addition to the menu at meals. The dining staff are phenomenal. The staff made an effort to match my mom up with table mates with similar interests. These people have become her core friends. We chose this community because it was recommended by a friend, they offered a locked in forever price, and everyone seemed very professional. The apartments are spacious with huge bathrooms, the grounds are nice, there is an outdoor pool, and the community is pet friendly with a dog run. They really have gone above and beyond at this community.

My mother was very mobile and her hobby was walking. They have a lot of opportunity for that and the residents can go outside. For memory care people, the ability to go outside and walk around is great. There are benches and a gazebo so it's less restrictive but still secure for people who wander. The food is real food and good variety, There is always an activity going on for the residents.

The front office staff was great. But the care she got was not acceptable. Her diaper was only changed twice a day and half of her clothes were lost.
