About the facility
Blackburn Seniors Retirement Home Inc.

Blackburn Lodge Seniors Residence is a locally-owned, single-building, full-service retirement residence which provides accommodation and care for middle and lower income seniors. The current owners have operated the residence for 16 years.

Although the Lodge is cleaned and maintained to a high standard, it is an older building (completed in 1986) that is not full of the marble, brass, and hardwood that usually put the newer buildings in the city far out of reach for seniors with more modest incomes.

Our Experienced and Knowledgeable Staff:


We encourage prospective residents and their families to realize, however, that moving to a retirement home involves far more than acquiring new real estate. Over time, the care and services offered by the facility are likely to impact the comfort and well-being of the resident far more than the physical surroundings. The five senior staff of Blackburn Lodge (Executive Director, Director of Care, Dining Room Manager, Head Housekeeper and Activity Director) have a total of 75 years of experience behind them serving seniors in retirement homes. In addition, our core group of front-line staff have been been with us for more than 6 years on average. Three of our nursing department staff...

Needs improvement!
My Mother is in this home. The situation has got worst since the new owner took over. There are no games or excerice classes. There use to be a bus that would take them shopping. That is gone. There is nothing to do! They just sit around and rot. The new owner will not allow Pork to be served in the residence because of his religion. So no bacon! No more happy hour drinks to be served.

Lots to consider before heading there
My mother has been a resident for 3 years there now. It has changed hands and will be changing again apparently June 2018. No information is shared with the residents as to who is the new owner. Place is definitely run down and could use a facelift. Meals are sometimes good, sometimes bad. They do hired quite a few young and inexperienced PSW's. Best bang for your buck I suppose. Overall if you are independent and on a limited pension/income it could be the place for you. They do seem to accomodate all kinds of individuals from every walk of life that require some home care. Don't expect much in the way of activitivies/outings as they are limited and quite frankly attendance for any of those seems low. Common areas are quite small and not frequented or used to full potential. Hoping new ownership will bring some life into the place.

The facility was runned down, the shared spaces such as lounge, activity room, library were small, closed in spaces. Resident informed that the quality of the meals has dropped under new ownership one year ago. The shared accommodation option is not a viable option for anyone in my opinion.

The lodge is a little tired and needs some tlc. Staff for the most part exceptional. The elevator was broken for 3 weeks hopefully that will not happen again. Meals are plentiful but lack fresh vegetables. Maybe a veggie meal with legumes as a protein should be considered. Mum is safe and that is comforting. Everyone is really helpful and it feels like a big family. I would recommend this assisted living home it is a really nice environment.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Ontario regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Ontario regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Blackburn Seniors Retirement Home Inc. 2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
