Far exceeds expectations! My father has been at Wingate on Blackstone in The Terrace unit (early memory care) for about a year now (July 2026). Not only is the property beautiful, but the whole facility is incredibly well maintained - inside and out - with lots of light and beautiful decorations with a home-y feel and practical touches (like plenty of places to sit).<br><br>The staff are cheerful, competent, and engaged - always impressive given the challenging nature of their jobs - and there always seem to be activities happening or coming up. Plus my father's apartment is one that I would cheerfully live in today!<br><br>But the most important thing is that my father is content and enjoys his life there. When he gets confused, he'll often tell me "but there's this lovely room that a nice person just showed me that I can stay in!". It means everything to me that he feels safe, even when he can't remember or process as well as he used to.<br><br>I am so grateful to the staff there - and I would definitely encourage reaching out to them if you are considering memory care for a loved one!

After a fall and rehab, our mom wasn’t ready to go home—but thankfully, Wingate-Blackstone offered short-term Respite Care. Within weeks, mom felt at home, enjoying the meals, activities, and friendly community. The cozy environment, excellent nursing staff, and helpful team made all the difference. Mom wanted to transition from Respite care to an Assisted Living resident at Wingate-Blackstone.<br><br>To be sure this is what mom wanted we toured other facilities with mom, but none matched Wingate-Blackstone’s warmth and flexibility. From respite care to her own apartment, the transition was smooth thanks to the supportive staff. We’re incredibly grateful—Wingate-Blackstone truly became home for our mom.

My parents are residents at Wingate at Blackstone. I cannot say enough about the staff. Valerie, the Executive Director, leads by example with caring, compassion and wisdom. Her team follows suit. The facility is clean and well run and has been very good for my parents.

My loved one has passed but was not fan. Smells like sewer. Rooms not clean or kept up facility looks run down. Kitchen staff doesn’t wear hair nets.

My mom is a resident in the neighborhood at Wingate, and I know that working with dementia/Alzheimer’s residents takes a lot of patience. Each member of the staff in there not only shows patience, but kindness and caring. That is something truly special about this facility.<br><br>On top of that Pam, has created such a wonderful environment for each resident. It amazes me everytime I come in there how much is actually going on. Many facilities advertise that they do activities daily with the dementia/Alzheimers residents but many facilities I’ve visited kept the lights low, and have the residents in front of a tv watching movies rather than engaging them in activities. I came in the other day to visit with my mother, and they had a kennel club group visiting with their dogs and the residents were all enjoying it immensely. It goes without saying that Wingate actually follows through and has activities continuously through out the day as well as staff checking on all the residents that are not participating.<br><br>It brings me to tears when I think of how blessed my mom is to be in a place that truly loves and cares for their residents.
