The Blake by QSL Management

We initially went with Sunrise because we felt the physical structure was the nicest, it is relatively new and modern, and it is beautifully decorated. The sales director was very knowledgeable and seemed very interested and willing to do whatever it took to make her experience excellent. Her apartment is beautiful, I think she has the biggest unit in the facility. Her biggest complaint is the food, she feels a lot of it is not homeade or fresh so they could improve on the quality of the meals.

I believe this has been a good experience so far. There are some questions I have yet to still ask management about. The staff can be quick to deal with questions or concerns brought up to the family. I believe there is still room for improvement. The meals are included if the resident goes to the dining room. If the resident is not able to make it to the dining room the community charges a delivery fee to deliver the meals to the residents rooms. The staff will remind the residents that it is meal time and to make it to the dining room to eat.

This has been just what we needed and our loved one needed. It has really been a blessing. The community will listen and they address any concerns the family has. They are very good at answering any questions the family has as well. The day program features some activities for the residents. They even have a hair salon for my loved one to utilize. The check in and out process is great.

We chose Deepwood Estates because of the location, my sister is close by and can visit often. They also had a 3rd party company for the assistance part of care. It is independent living but you are able to add on additional care if needed. It felt like it was a great balance and it was scalable. The apartments were a good size for what he needed and he was able to be on the first floor close to the dining area. I would recommend them to others looking, the staff were great to work with.

the staff at Washington Commons is very caring and kind. it feels like a family instead of a senior community. right at home, enables me to remain independent by helping me with bathing and the girls are always extremely nice.

The Blake is a beautiful community. This is a good place for memory care needs. Everyone is friendly and they care about our loved one. This is a smaller community, which is a great. The communication between the different caregivers and other staff, and also with the family could be improved. The medication management and missing of our loved one's doses needs to be communicated better to the family and make sure that our loved one is taking their medication. They have an activity room, and I think it might be better to have in a common area to allow more residents to participate. The food is excellent and the family has eaten there and felt the same way. There are snacks for the residents to have when they need a pick me up. The room, laundry, housekeeping, all the meals, there are some basic outings, maintenance, basic cable, utilities and some basic care is included in the monthly fee. Bathing assistance, medication management, and more are some of the basic care provided by the community. There is a beauty salon on site for the residents to take advantage of.

We had a wonderful tour at The Fairmont. But very specifically, one of the things that took them out of my list of potential places was their anticipated annual rent increase would have been huge for me on a fixed income. I ended up choosing a brand new facility with expected increases closer to cost of living increases.

We had a good tour with Magnolia Brook on Siegen. The facility was bigger and brand new at the time we saw it. It seemed to be geared more towards the general population and had assisted living as well as memory care provided. It was located near our home, so we would have been happy with this facility if it came down to it.

So far I would recommend it. So far they have been very accommodating to our loved ones.

Our family had an in person tour and the tour was nice, but The Regency House had the same layout and amenities as another community we were looking into but The Regency House was asking for a much higher rate. That is why we chose not to move our loved one here.

My loved one really likes this community the staff are very friendly and helpful with my loved one. My loved one enjoys activities here and there is always something for the residents to do to stay busy in this community. Overall for what is paid it is decent and average community for your loved one.

The friendliness here is beyond what I ever expected. Every resident is very open and willing and happy to talk with and visit with you. For the most part, the staff is the same way, especially the manager, one of her assistants, and the chef. They are all very outgoing. Because of Covid, they're having trouble finding staff to help with transportation to appointments and things. And they're also having a lot of trouble finding staff to clean the apartments. So cleanliness has been a little lacking, although the dining area is in excellent shape. The food is very good. I like that they really concentrate on a balanced meal for our big meal, which is served at lunch. We can always depend upon having fresh salad and vegetables. They have a good variety of meat and fish. The activities are great, and very well-rounded. They offer activities that provide mental stimulation as well as physical stimulation. And I think it's a good value. Smoky Springs is not as expensive as some of the other places that we looked at.

It was a nice community that is larger and had some older décor.

My mom enjoys the meals, and I've enjoyed all the food I've tried as well. She enjoys the company of the people she gets along with. (You'll have people anywhere that you don't get along with.) The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They're very responsive to any issues. There are a lot of activities going on, and my mom is really enjoying herself.

They have wonderful a la cart services and we would recommend this community to other families.

This community was my loved ones favorite but there were a lot of things that did not line up. I could not get lined up with the nurse to take care of things that we needed to do. The fact that this could not be taken care of before my loved one was even there made me feel like they would be too busy once my loved one was there.

The staff are responsive to any needs the family or resident may have. The activities such as keno, bingo, technology assistance days, entertainment, chair exercise and more for the residents to participate in if they choose to.

Our family had an in person tour and the community was really nice, but our loved one just did not like the vibe. Also the gentlemen who gave the tour was quite young, and we aren't sure if he was just not familiar with the community, didn't have time or what but we just did not hit it off
