78 Independent Living near Facilities Litz, VA. Page 3

The staff is very helpful and friendly. They are very good about communicating with the family about your loved one, and you can call and ask about them any time. The move-in process is smooth, but be ready to produce documents like Medicaid info, living will, driver's license, etc. The meals are very good. I would highly recommend The Blake at Kingsport to others.

When it comes to the meals and dining, this area needs lots of work. There needs to be healthier, fresh food...more vegetables and fruits. And better quality meats. The activities has recently dramatically improved with the hiring of a really good activities director. Previously, there were limited activities for the residents. Overall, we are happy with The Courtyards but there's room for improvement.

I would recommend it. Of the facilities in our area, this one is the best value for the money. I picked it because it is a clean, updated facility, all on one level. They have suites with doors open to a courtyard. The staff is friendly and helpful. They allow residents to have meals in their room without charging for "room service". The staff has been very good to work with me on doing the very best for my brother's complicated condition.
