I love The Blake!! It's an excellent facility and my parents are adjusting nicely to living in their independent care cottage which is simply beautiful. Yes I would tell a friend.
The staff have always been very kind I just feel like they might not have enough coverage for the memory care unit. When you have patients that are wondering and trying to walk without assistance there just has to be enough coverage to make sure that everyone else is tended to. I go at different times and I really haven't seen any problems besides people wondering. They put a list of the activities up and they had an Easter bbq and we were not able to go due to being sick.
My experience here was very pleasurable. The staff were extremely kind and helped me to recover very well. I would come back in a second if needed and now consider these people my second family. Thank yall very much!
