Updated review 6/26/2026: I recently learned that the Executive Director and the Assisted Living activities director are no longer at The Blake - and I think there’s more that have left. I don’t know what is going on over there but there’s a regional person who took over and her name is Kelly and she doesn’t seem to have a grasp on keeping the good employees or keeping spirits high among the residents.<br><br>The Blake is a wonderful senior living community! They do so many activities that are fun and engaging! Each month they have a theme and there’s so many activities surrounding the theme - art projects, baking, movies, documentaries, talks, Taste of The Blake. It’s a very enriching community

Had an appointment to tour for my father, got someone to watch the kids and drove a half an hour to the location to be told as I walked in he was rejected. He uses a walker and has newly diagnosed Parkinson’s and they said, “if we were money hungry we would take him, but we aren’t” “he’s a fall risk”and this was after they read his medical records and “sent them up to corporate” before getting my fathers permission or mine to review his files and before ever laying eyes on my father. Every other assisted living facility in town accepted him with open arms. Plus, always bad when the person stinks of tobacco in a health care setting. RNs should know better not to smoke, maybe you shouldn’t smoke in your car or home Kelly.
