The facility is clean, attractively decorated and the outdoor spaces are nicely landscaped. The strength of the Blake at Flowood is their staff - so kind and supportive!
The Memory Care facility has been wonderful. We have been blessed to find a place for our mother. Everyone there has been so caring and kind.
