Just kidding…

My dad was at The Blake from [dates removed]. Some of the staff members were wonderful to my dad. My dad was allowed to live with my mom in Assisted Living, even with his dementia, but after a week, I began to have concerns about his anger towards my mom. I met with the executive director, director of wellness, and a nurse practitioner about my concerns and wanted him to be moved to Memory Care. The director of wellness had also suggested on different occasions that my parents should be separated, but at that meeting, they were in agreement that my dad remain with my mom in Assisted Living. About a week after that meeting, my dad found a box cutter in an unsecured area on the first floor (this was verified by a detective at the scene) and cut himself innumerable times. He’s declined a great deal since this incident, and is now in hospice care!

Do not do it!

Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. They do not care about the residents at all. The leadership is AWFUL and hide behind a door. My mother in law lived there for a year and we tried to make it work but after being given another residents medication for 2 weeks, having her room filthy and inhabitable because they don't have housekeeping she was forced to live with feces on her floor for days at a time, the toilet would be clogged for DAYS and no one to help fix it. They claim they have housekeeping and maintenance onsite but that is false. They can't keep staff so they sometimes pay for a company to come in to clean but most times they just leave it and the resident lives in filth. They gave my MIL another residents medication for 2 weeks. A med tech pushed me, her advocate and then was able to keep working with my MIL. Do not go there! Look elsewhere. I have so much more to write but there is a limit. It's gross, overly expensive and they do not care for the patients.

The Blake at Baxter Village

The Blake is 85% Assisted Living and Memory Care. Activities are geared largely to those groups, not to the few residents in Independent Living. Bingo, coloring books, and Go Fish have not come close to satisfying our hunger for intellectual stimulation. We are entitled to one meal a day and the cuisine is a step down from a high school cafeteria. Moreover, the management is remote, detached, unresponsive, noncommunicative, and are literally locked in their offices with little interaction with or interest in the residents. For $7,100 a month, it seems like a disgraceful waste of money. In fact comparing our monthly fee to our services would probably could qualify as elder exploitation.

Tour experience

We saw the Blake's independent living accommodations! Wow. Our little American Gothic cottage at The Blake seemed sparkling with fairy dust when we first saw it: perfect, precious, a sunny corner unit with beautifully manicured lawn and charming floral accents, and a front porch that quickly became our favorite room in the house. My husband knew instantly that we were home. Six weeks later, we moved in. There was an authentic warmth from our first visit at The Blake that stuck out over other places we were looking into.

Responsive staff; Beautiful living arrangements

The administration has been open, cooperative and responsive to our needs and concerns. It has been heartening to see that changes and adjustments have been made based on our feedback. We plan to spend the rest of our lives here and will gladly do anything we can to make The Blake an even more loving, unified, and supportive community.

Communication wasn't that great but my parents were living in the independent cottages so I don't know how it would be in the building.

Understaffing is my biggest concern.

I have serious concerns about their patient to worker ratio. Like everybody else, they don't have enough help right now.

Great Community

The Blake is a good place. We are satisfied with our experience here. The staff are responsive to the family's question or concerns. The Blake is able to take care of medication management, housekeeping, bathing, and hygiene for my loved one. They have food, activities laundry service, and the room that are included in the monthly fee. There is always an activity available for the residents to choose from. Celebrations, movies, walking, games, and more are some of the activities for the residents to choose from.

Community Tour

I thought they were very nice. And the community was very similar to another The Blake community we toured. The biggest reason we didn't go with either of them was a North Carolina vs. South Carolina issue. South Carolina can’t do a lot of things medically. And I felt as my parents aged and progressed in their illness, we would have ended up back in North Carolina anyway.

Tour of The Blake

We had a great tour experience with The Blake at Baxter Village. The facility was beautiful and clean and all the staff really took their time with us. It was just way too big and we knew she would feel overwhelmed.

This community was just not the right fit for my loved one it seemed more like assisted living and that was not what I was looking for.

Not worth the price

The unit was completely ignored during COVID. When we were finally able to visit, the unit was filthy to the point where we could write our names on the dusty surfaces. The phone was out of order. Prior to the pandemic, and again now, it takes multiple requests to get problems addressed. They are "professional apologizers" and each time make you think that they accept accountability and that the solution is right around the corner. There are far better options in this price point.

Our experience to date

The Blake at Baxter Village opened right before the pandemic and are having growing pains. It appears that they are having a hard time keeping staff so they have a lot of turnover which then causes issues because they aren't forming relationships with their residents.

my experence

There was a high turnover in staff and we could never get a consistent person helping. Some of the staff could have been more friendly. the management seemed to be good but I didn't think she was getting the care we were paying for.

I had a tour of this property although it was COVID limited. [name removed], the sales manager was wonderful. I was able to see a studio apartment and received information on the other units and pricing. She gave me great information and answered my questions. I really liked the property and when I’m ready to make a move; The Blake at Baxter Village will be a top choice. I like the location very much.

Energetic and modern community!

This community offers a great amount activities from movie nights, to family days where you can eat with your relatives, to memory games and bingo. They also have exercise classes everyday and an in house church services. They also have prayer time, and once a month they may explore topics like national parks and learn about them. There is also arts and carts, and before COVID they would take them out on shopping trips once or twice a week. The activities director is very creative, for instance in the summer if the residents aren't able to really get out they would have a car parade where they would drive the residents around, or a dog parade where there family members could come and parade their family dogs around for the residents to see. We haven't been able to visit this community since April, but it's very modern, and energetic. Not only are the people energetic, but the overall atmosphere is. It is also very clean. The food seems to have a good variety, there are not a lot of processed food. it was pretty much all fresh and well balanced. Our loved one however is now having to eat in her room due to COVID, and sometimes by the time her food gets there it is cold. The chef is very friendly, and is very open to taking home recipes from the residents. They also have an advisory committee and they can decide what they want to have food wise at this community and what they don't want. They really have a lot of input when it comes to the food, and they have access to healthy snacks all the time.
