Inspired Living Hidden Lakes sits just north of Sarasota, Florida, designed solely for people who need memory care, so if someone's living with Alzheimer's or other memory issues, this place was built with them in mind from the ground up, and you'll see lots of secure features-like bracelets with alarms to help keep residents safe from wandering-and the staff is always awake and on hand, with licensed nurses available 24 hours a day, which helps families rest a bit easier, you know. The community can hold up to 68 residents and has dedicated floor plans, so you see Serenity studios, Radiant private studios, and shared studio options, with average prices of $5,695 for a studio and $4,495 for a semi-private room. Every room comes with basics like cable, option for a phone line, utilities, air conditioning, heating, and even wheelchair accessible showers and private baths, which is nice for comfort and privacy.
Here, services focus pretty tightly on dementia and Alzheimer's care, so you have the Moments Matter and Inspired Journeys Memory Care programs, both aiming to help residents feel more fulfilled with routines and lots of personalized support, and the staff receives training in over 100 specialized areas like behavioral support, the Dementia Live program, and more. They keep the calendar full with daily activities-think art classes, stretching, Tai Chi, trivia, wine tastings, trips, karaoke, gardening, and intergenerational programs, plus club rooms, arts and crafts rooms, a movie theater, outdoor gazebos, walking paths, and gardens for fresh air and scenery. There are both indoor and outdoor social spaces, and if someone wants devotional services, those are available too, both onsite and off, along with a beautician.
Meals here try to work for everyone, since they've got an All-Day Dining menu, restaurant-style meals, and even "Grate Eats" for smaller bites; the dining program can handle vegetarian, gluten-free, low sodium, or low/no sugar diets, all put together with advice from certified dietitians, and you can eat in your room or join friends in the dining room whenever. For getting around, transportation's on hand for appointments and outings. The community allows pets, both cats and dogs, recognizing that companionship is important, and housekeeping, laundry, maintenance, and utilities are included, so residents and their families don't need to worry about chores or extra bills.
Inspired Living Hidden Lakes stays focused on a holistic lifestyle, offering health and wellness programs through things like the Thrive initiative, which includes exercise, learning opportunities, community service, and spiritual activities. There's help with things that come up every day, like reminders, bathing, dressing, managing medicine, incontinence, diabetic care, and even transfers, including for people who need extra help or have mobility issues, and they're equipped with tools and systems to help residents who sometimes act out or tend to wander. They've got a stand-alone, secure building, remote cameras, and use the iCare collaborative care platform so help and support can shift as needs change. There's also respite care available for short stays, so caregivers get a break, and the same high level of care and amenities applies, including access to the programs and events.
Signature programs here, like Inspired Living Lifestyles and Inspired Journeys, put an emphasis on quality of life by keeping residents engaged, connected, and comfortable in a warm, home-like setting, while support and resources are also there for families-offering information, planning tools, glossaries, and hands-on caregiver support. The place always aims for a sense of community and wants everyday moments to feel happy and bright, while making sure everyone stays as safe and well as possible, and you can see all this reflected in consistently positive reviews, giving the community a score of 8.9 from residents and families. This community belongs to the Distinctive Living portfolio and tries hard to balance care, comfort, and steady routines without overwhelming or underestimating anyone's needs.
