For persons with memory-related disorders, dining can be a source of confusion & frustration. The design and purpose of the Palm Bay Memory Care Dining program provides a person-centered approach to help support independence, choice and appropriate stimuli to support eating & hydration and to limit frustration and confusion.
A bright & roomy dining room provides plenty of light and space for our Residents. Our Residents help set the table, to help signal that it may be time to eat and to encourage independence & purpose. As we offer our Residents their menu choices for the evening, we include finger foods for those residents who may struggle to use cutlery. Adaptive eating utensils may also be recommended to maintain independence.
We can all relate to the memories we have that include music. Remember how you felt dancing with your father at your wedding or tapping your foot to that hit song your favorite band played; the power of music brings life to the human spirit.
Palm Bay Memory Care residents will continue to experience these memories in The MUSIC & MEMORY® Program. Grounded in extensive neuroscience research about how our brains respond to music, Music and Memory personalized playlists re-create important life events with detail for each resident. These musical favorites tap deep into memories that are not lost and the music enlivens the soul empowering our residents to feel like themselves. Ongoing research and evaluation of this program shows consistent results that foster a calmer environment thus reducing agitation and anxiety.

What an amazing team at Palm Bay Memory Care! Michele and James have been so extremely helpful throughout this process. It is difficult to make decisions for a loved one when they reach a particular point in their lives and Michele and James guided us through each step with love and patience. My father’s move went so smoothly. The maintenance crew (Cooper and Eli) were extremely helpful and even helped hang all the pictures. My father’s nurse (Kareen) was so kind and made him feel welcomed. Francesca has such a kind heart and helped him become more comfortable with his new home. Every staff member has a smile on and are so extremely helpful. We are so grateful for everyone at Palm Bay Memory Care and feel at peace that my father will be receiving the best! Thank you to everyone at Palm Bay Memory Care!
My father has now been there for over 9 months and the care he receives is superb! They have so many activities going on daily that he joins in and he is excited to tell me all about them. He is feeling safe, secure, loved and happy. Palm Bay Memory Care is a huge blessing!

We selected Inspired Living, it was extremely impressive, and the staff appeared to be very competent and friendly. The leadership seemed to know all the residents' names, and it was very personal. All their services are under one price, so it's all-inclusive. The rooms and building are extremely clean, and the residents are happy, and very pleased with the care. They have a system that allows the residents freedom, everybody is trained to deal with memory care, and their understanding of the issue is exceptional. They have a nurse available on site 24/7. They treat people with respect, they help them maintain their dignity, and they help people have a purpose. That's why my husband is going there.

Inspired Living is a beautiful place. It is 5-minutes away from my home, so it is very convenient for me to go and visit every day. No problems, no complaints, it is a beautiful place. The people are fantastic; everybody is helpful. It is clean, it is friendly, and they have a lot of activities. They are the best. I checked out other places, and I talked to people, but this one is beautiful for my husband, it is convenient for me to visit, and I have absolutely no complaints. I am so pleased that I was able to get him there.

I researched numerous communities for my mom as my dad could not care for her any longer due to his health. I had the pleasure of working with James B through the entire process, it was a long one has my dad did not want let mom leave home.
James answered all my calls, emails, texts no matter the day or time. He really goes out of his way to make this transition as easy as possible.
Can I give 10+ stars?

I did not like Inspired Living at Palm Bay at all. It was cold and didn’t look warm. Some of the people who greeted us and took us on the tour were heavy smokers and had the smoker’s cough; you could smell smoke in their clothing. I didn’t care for it. I did not meet James, who is the director, but he has called me numerous times and is very nice. It did not make you feel like you were at home. You want them to be comfortable, and it did not look like a comfortable atmosphere to me; nothing was really that nice. I knew immediately that it was not the place I wanted for my mother. They had a fenced-in outdoor common area where you can walk, but that was the only positive thing.

I liked Palm Bay. They were very accommodating. The director called me 10 times just to find out how my search was going, which was just very nice. They had a nice area outside. It was a clean, well-run facility. However, I wanted a small, homey facility. There was nothing wrong with them.

I was most impressed with Inspired Living at Palm Bay. It's a beautiful place, and it focuses on the best quality life to the very end, and they would do everything they could to ensure that. They serve top cuisine for the residents. It was awesome. The staff was wonderful.

I chose Inspired Living at Palm Bay for my dad. It’s a new facility with a state-of-the-art computer system. They have 24/7 GPS on the residents, so they know where they are at all times. That was the reason why I chose it. My dad is allowed to go anywhere inside the building as well as outside, so he can have independence. The staff was fabulous. They know all of the residents, and the place is set up like a small family. They have two dining room where they can eat out and a couple of places where they can watch TV. They do activities every day and post a calendar of events. They have a birthday party every month and some kind of outing for their residents.

I visited this facility on August 4, 2016 with my husband and from the moment that we walked through the door you could just feel the love. The entire staff from James, Michelle, Jill, and Debbie just to name a few opened up their hearts with caring, understanding and patience for my husband's father. Through this difficult time to reassure us that his father would get excellent care and that this would be the right place for him at this point in time. His room is amazing and we decorated with all the comforts of home for his father. That you all for what you do it truly takes Angel's like your staff to care for loved one's when family is to far away in another state. Another thing that keep's us close to my husband's father is that they have a Facebook page and they post wonderful picture's of his father periodically which shows us how he his enjoying his time at Inspired Living facility.

Inspired Living was brand new. They had the best hi-tech tracking system. On a wall, they had this tracking board for the residents to make it tell where anybody is at anytime. So it was really cool. The bathrooms and everything are made just perfectly, and you walk into the shower. It had everything -- every amenity -- to make life easier; it was a state of the art place. Another thing that's very nice was that they have an extended license. In the other ones. they had one part for the memory care, so it 's only one part. You come in atassisted living, and then if you can't take care of yourself anymore, then you go to the memory care unit. In this place, they are licensed to keep everybody in the same bed, so that you don't move to another area in the building. You stay right where you are.
The rooms were beautiful; they were actually gorgeous -- homey, nice, and you can bring your own stuff. They didn't have refrigerators and stuffs in the rooms, but they had snacks. You could go to these huge dining halls -- they had two dining halls -- and they eat their meals in there; if you don't like what they were serving, the cook could make you something. They had little tables and big tables, so you could eat by yourself or eat with everyone else. It was very nice, and they had a little kitchenette there. But if you wanted to have people, or if you have family coming to visit and have a birthday cake or something, you could use that part of the facility; it was really nice.
They were doing something when we there. It was like a game, but it was more about current events and things to the past and things like that. Of course, if you want to go shopping, they have facilities to take you shopping, and you can still have your own car there if you wanted to. It was a little more expensive than the other ones like $100 or $200 more expensive, but the service for what they offered was well worth it. They work with the insurance companies. The lady was very well-versed with the policy I had and what she was saying was exactly what my insurance company said, so it was like she knew what she was talking about. Another thing I liked was that we were not met by the sales people, but we met with the actual manager of the assisted living place.
The security was top-notch. The only way to get in and out was by this one door. The entire area and the huge courtyard in the back was absolutely gorgeous. It was a big property -- bigger than all the other ones -- and the doors don't open unless you had a code to go out. If you have a special bracelet, then you can't get out, but if you are not one of the patients that need to be monitored, then you have free will to come and go as you like.

I have placed my father in InspiredLiving, and I was very impressed. It's a brand new facility, so everything is clean, nice, and orderly. The rooms are a little smaller than I hoped, but they're still OK. The reason that I decided to move him there was because the residents have electronic bracelets issued to them that allow them to go in and outside a courtyard on their own, if they wish, without being stopped by staff or finding out the doors are locked. They have a good security system that tracks them throughout the building. They have motion detectors in the ceilings of the rooms so that at night if they get up and fall out of the bed, it is evident that they have done so. Everyone there seems to be very cheerful and upbeat. I also recognized five of the staff members from previous places that father had lived, and they were excellent staff members, so I was very happy to see them at the new facility.
