We chose Blakey Hall for my mother-in-law. Her room there was clean and has plenty of room. The dining area was nice and seems to serve good food. The staff is very helpful, nice and professional. The value for the money is as good as the rest of them, they're all costly anyway so it's okay. The place is well-kept and clean.

I came by for a tour for my family member and was appalled by how the staff or shall I say lack of staff they had and for the amount of money they expect people to pay you should not be told by staff member and current residents that they are ALWAYS “short staffed” and working with no one on the floor. This’s is absolutely discusting, the way they treat those poor people!

My Mom lived here for several years. This was the perfect place for her,as she was very independent and yet it still allowed her to feel safe and secure. She made some wonderful friends here,and enjoyed the daily socializing at meals. ( although the food could improve a bit,LOL!) . The Activity Director really strives to have a variety of activities available, and I think the residents have a lot of fun too! Overall, the staff was very kind, and responded quickly to requests. We would definitely recommend this to older adults looking for a nice place to live that they can also afford!

My wife is a resident at the Cottage at Blakey Hall, a building housing only sixteen people with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. She has been there for almost four years and gets excellent care from staff who feed and bathe her as well as care for her personal needs as she can no longer care for herself. The staff listens to family member's concerns and is very attentive to all of the resident's needs.

I think they had a lot of interaction among their residents at Blakey Hall. They also had sofas, chairs, and tables in the hallways where people can sit and talk. They had a friendly atmosphere. The people were very nice and very helpful. The dining setup looked nice. They had restaurant style dining where you order from a menu.

Their staff are rude to the residents, the food they service is horrible. The staff do not wash their hand as they go from room to room to pass out meds. The staff wear their street clothes and are unprofessional.

We were really impressed with Blakey Hall. It was extremely nice. It had a more homey atmosphere. The rooms were great, and they are beautiful. The staff seemed very friendly. They have three or four things, I think, going on Monday through Friday every week, like bingo, music, singing. They also do things on holidays. It didnÕt seem to be a place for elderly people. It's much more enjoyable, more friendly, and more homey.

Blakey Hall is like nothing I have every seen before in an assisted living facility. It is literally a community. It is not a building but an actual community of little apartments with security and 24 hour medical response. Even though it sits on a modest 14 acres, this place is perfect. It even has a horse farm nearby that the guests visit from time to time. What sets this place apart is that there is a section for smaller children also in a different section of the building or part of the area rather. It is a very unique area. The grounds are very well kept and the inside is even better. The staff seems to enjoy their job and the patients seem to get along with each other with the greatest of ease. This facility definitely deserves a lot of respect of dignity from a former Army medic.
