We had a really nice tour with Blair House, but my dad needed more care than they could offer.
My mom said she would not go here. It was a very dark place and not inviting at all.
We had a great tour at Blair House. There were just some things about the facility that weren't the right fit for our loved one. They don’t have full apartments there. Instead, the living spaces are almost like a hotel room that offers a little kitchenette, and I just didn’t think our loved one would be comfortable with that set-up. Also, the rooms we saw were very small, and they just weren’t as updated. That being said, there was quite a price point difference between Blair House and the community we chose. Blair House's monthly fee was quite a bit less, and they had lower entrance fees as well. The sales director that we talked to really seemed to want to get to know our loved one and very much wanted to hear about her. She made the touring process very smooth and easy.
I would say to try it. We have already picked out our apartment when we are ready. It is definitely recommended. They have food choices, such as a hot meal, a salad option, and a cold meal. Due to the pandemic restrictions they had meals delivered to the resident's rooms. The restrictions are starting to lift and the dining room is open now. There is lots of things to do for the residents to participate in.

The Blair House community is kept very clean, and when it comes to the activities they offer a lot of diverse activities for the residents to participate in.With everything that i get here and it being all inclusive i do think it is a good value for the cost.

The meals themselves would be a three in a half, and with the lock down the meals are being delivered to our rooms. The building itself is old it could use face lift, it is just worn out. The staff is thinly staffed and there are. We are very impressed with the friendliness and they try their best.

Location is great--centrally located with hospitals and shopping. Staff is fantastic --knows residents and families by name. They all go above and beyond for the seniors who live there. Activities are great--geared toward the seniors and what they want. I can't say enough good things about Blair House.

I helped my friends get into this community and it couldn't get any better. They just needed a little extra help not full care so they have a company that will do what is called spot checks. And help them with their needs as they come up. So financially was a good move. Other places didn't offer this. This place is awesome. They have a trained chef so the food is amazing and it is restaurant style 3 course meals. The staff is friendly and know them by name they know my name. They bend over backwards for us. They come in and clean and do linens 1x a week. They do the personal laundry. I would recommend this community.

My father is doing wonderful here at this community. I do feel comfortable with his move to this community. Everything is working out very well. The community is well-kept. They do a great job with the cleanliness of the community. I know he is safe, and in good hands here. I have already recommended this community to my friends, it is a nice place.

I am very much happy with the community I chose for my mom. I couldn't have asked for better staff to help. As for the meals, I have not heard a complaint yet and people speak good things of the food here. I also believe they are keeping my mom's room clean, she has not complained to me.

They've done a great job so far at Blair House! It is a bright, cheery place, the employees are all very friendly, and all the people here seem happy! They've got a lot to provide for their residents, they keep everything very clean, and even the food is wonderful! And really, what matters most, is that my Mom seems happy.

We think it’s a good value for the money. I recommend the community. It’s conveniently located. I hear the food is pretty good. I haven't had any trouble finding parking. They are clean, and I didn’t really get a chance to meet the staff, but I haven’t heard anything bad.

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
