Great experience in a difficult transition.

Great staff. Food is great, variety of options over and above daily menu. Chef cooks all food from scratch. Facilities are not fancy but are very nice. Activities are numerous and of great variety. Would recommend Blake at Hamlin highly.

Our family's experience

The nursing staff is great -- very responsive and kind to the residents. [name removed], the executive director, is very responsive and engaged. The location is also great because of its proximity to stores and restaurants

Review for The Blake at Hamlin

My mom was in the hospital when I needed to make the decision to place her in an ALF instead of bringing her home. I had reached out to 3 facilities a week or so before, knowing the time was coming, but knowing it would come so fast. The staff[names removed] in particular, bent over backwards to get mom placed in their facility and to work through the logistics with me. They put mom in a furnished, temporary room that they normally use for respite care while I had things moved in and set up. They were there for me with answers to every question: medical, financial, emotional, etc. I will forever be indebted to them as this was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. The staff seems to genuinely care about mom and care for her. I do think there are times that among the staff, which can be frustrating. The small, minor hiccups have been nothing compared with knowing my mom is in a quality facility that is clean, medically safe, with caring, diligent people and is close by for visits. 100% would recommend.

Nice staff, good food, problems with medical

The Blake is beautiful and the staff is very kind and friendly. My mother loves her room. She is enjoying the activities. The only problem we seem to have is medical. It took awhile to get her medicine straightened out. Then they would come very early in the am and late at night with her meds and wake her up. She just came down with Covid, they said they would get her medicine for it and order an x-ray as she has COPD. She never got the x-ray and she didn't get the medicine until 3 days later. Because of that she may have to be quarantined for an extra day.

Grateful for The Blake.

When choosing an "apartment" make note of the distance to dining room if you have difficulty walking. Only issue was the space in the bedroom with two walkers and having them handy for bathroom trips. Also a few more electrical outlets spaced in different places would be useful. My parents needed more activities aimed towards their age group. I appreciate so much the help of A Place For Mom in finding The Blake. It was a stressful situation and you made me aware of places that I didn't even know existed. They lived there seven and a half months and were happy with their surroundings which was comforting to me. My mother especially liked all the windows--a wall of them in each room which allowed natural light in and also a view of their surroundings outside.

One Day at a Time

I feel the staff really mean well and try, but communication is lacking. Maybe due to being understaffed. Food probably needs to be healthier and non processed. Activities there is a problem with lack of communication. As for instance residents that loose track of time or time blindness, they should go and get them out of their room for activity. Some days are truly better than others. Then you have to bite your tongue not to say anything.

Clean, friendly facility

My mom is very comfortable there. My only concern is the frequent staff turnover. It's new & very clean. We're very satisfied.

Mom is living like a queen

The main reason that we chose The Blake at Hamlin in the first place over others that we toured was mainly just due to how convenient the facility is to my home. My mother says that the meals are very tasty and satisfying and she especially likes the fact that there are activities that are going on 7 days a week.

She is happy which is all that matters

Our loved one absolutely loves The Blake at Hamlin. She really likes all the different activities going on and we get a monthly schedule that shows everything. She really enjoys going out on their shopping trips and to the luncheons. They also bring in live entertainment during dinners. We see her multiple times throughout the week and she is always bragging about how much she loves it here and to us that is the most important thing. Based on our experience we would most definitely recommend The Blake at Hamlin to other families.

Tour Review

Our family had an in person tour and the sales director who was supposed to give us the tour had a family emergency so someone stepped in for him and overall it just was not a good first impression. We knew right away it was not the place for our loved one, it felt very sterile, institutional and not a homey environment at all.

Community Tour

I liked The Blake at Hamlin very much. The facility was very clean. They had lots of activities. It seemed like a nice place and was our #2 choice. It was just a smaller community than were were looking for and was less ideally located (not as close to stores/restaurants, etc.).

tour review

Our family had an in person tour and we didn't see anything we did not like, we thought it was a fantastic tour but ultimately it just came down to location and what would be more convenient for us.

Grateful for The Blake

This is the place to be if you have higher level of care needs. We love the staff. The whole community is good. They've had trouble with staffing in several departments. Housekeeping especially, but they do a great job keeping up. As far as the food, mom says dinner isn't always great, but lunch is. If chef is there, it's great. One downfall, they don't have a pool. But I will say, mom really came to life in this place. She always has something to do and there is a variety of activities to choose from. However, the activities director for her unit is leaving. He's amazing and very fun, even just to talk to. Replacing him won't be easy. We've been told that the director from the Memory Care unit is taking over and will run the activities for both units. I'm concerned about their ability to keep up with both, but we'll see. I feel comfortable and like mom is always safe here. Even during the hurricane, mom was safe and they did a great job staying in contact with us. I have and absolutely will continue to recommend them to family and friends.

Tour experience

We had a great tour experience with The Blake at Hamlin, I liked this facility a lot. It was a great location for us and the staff were awesome. They had a welcome sign for us when we walked in. The facility was having an "Aloha" day and all of the staff and residents were dressed up so that was cool to see. They do also allow dogs in the memory care unit which was a plus. Before my moms insurance and all that would kick in, it was going to be pretty expensive which was why we went with another facility.

The Blake at Hamlin - Horizon West

Warm, friendly and inviting is the first impression from The Blake at Hamlin, this continues throughout the community from all staff. A true sense of a caring neighborhood from management communication to residents assistance from the care staff. Meals are carefully planned and served in the bright spacious restaurant, lots of activities happening in and outside the community. The Blake at Hamlin is a great addition to the Horizon West Community for all our seniors.

The Blake is AMAZING!

The Blake has been so amazing with the transitioning process as well as throughout the continuing living for my mom in their assisted living. My mom recently had surgery and is in a rehab for a short time and she can’t wait to get back to The Blake. My mom received a homemade banana pudding created by the chef for her (she loves banana pudding) and brought to her by someone from administration from The Blake along with a sweet card signed by many of the staff and leadership. The personal touch given by The Blake is so reassuring for family members as well as the resident. They always ask if there is anything special she wants to eat and provide a good selection of options. Everyone is kind and attentive. Also, the communication is great regarding your loved one.

Awesome staff & delicious food

I have referred many of my senior clients to The Blake @ Hamlin. What they tell me the most is how friendly the staff is and how good the food is!! They are happy with all the choices. I have been to a few events there where the chef prepared the food, from breakfast sandwiches to meatloaf, and fabulous desserts. Everything has been outstanding. I highly recommend The Blake @ Hamlin!
