The Blake by QSL Management

We liked this place! It's nice and homey and the food was great! They have eight vegetarians and prepare vegetarian entrees, not just side dishes, for them. They have a limited number of apartments with patios. And they aren't too far from our house.

The only thing I would say is that he pays a lot of money for his medical compared to other places; however, the base rent is very affordable, and you get a lot for your money! They have an Olympic size swimming pool, a 34 seat movie theater, a cafe for friends and family, villas for guest to stay in when they visit, and the place is just beautiful. And overall, he is happy. The thing is, he does have dementia, so he would be better off if he had one on one care. Given his age and issues it would be nice if someone was with him to encourage him to do things. He doesn't use the cafe, pool, or theater. I know they offer things, but with dementia, it is an individual question. He could use a job, because at 90 he really doesn't have any reason to get out of bed in the morning. For him, where his room is, is great, there are activities right outside his room.

River's Edge was practically identical to Ashley Park. The property was the exact size she wants, with all the amenities she desires. There again wasn't a sad face among the residents or the staff. The staff there also helped me expand my thoughts on other options during our search. They also had Ashleigh's notes from Ashley Park and that helped pare down the interview process.

We have been really very, very pleased with The Fountains at Lake Pointe Woods. The facility is beautiful, the nursing staff is responsive, the apartments are a nice size. We really feel very positively about it. We had visited several communities before selecting The Fountains.

Ashley Park was exactly what we are looking for. The dining room was immaculate and the property was the exact size she wants, with all the amenities she desires. There wasn't a sad face among the residents or the staff. This will be the benchmark from which we judge all other places.

Very nice. It felt like a big cruise ship instead of a facility, kind of like a big party. As far as the assisted living, I was worried that it was too big and overwhelming for my mom. For independent residents, it would have been a blast to live there.

It's wonderful! I love the whole place. If I have to go somewhere later, this is where I'm going! They have plenty of activities. They play bingo, they go on trips, they play this bean bag baseball and they're making Christmas things to sell at a Bazaar. They really keep them busy. My mother is there and she likes it. The food is wonderful. I've eaten there so I can tell you it's good. There is a variety of choices. The whole experience is like begin on a cruise ship. We knew it was the right place for her.

They make her feel great, I don't know if she even knows where she is but she's happy all the time, they play with her, they talk to her, there's someone there to talk with her all the time. They do what they can with activites, they exercise them in the morning and they'll do a big piece puzzle but sometimes she'll just grab their hand and start dancing so they'll dance with her instead. I'm so impressed with having her there, it's so much better than having her home, we can't provide the same entertainment they do. They know her by name and she's always smiling, they're just so friendly and it's been great. I feel like they've become so familiar with her case and her personality, I just feel like the really have gone above and beyond.

The apartments were large and the people friendly. There were lots of little 'nooks' where people could talk or watch TV. It was my favorite place I toured.

This place was very good until her mind started going and she needed more medical help. I had to get caregivers coming in and that was very, very expensive. The ones I had had some sort of arrangement with Haywood but she was there for 4 years and could come and go and do whatever she wanted to.

We were very impressed with the Fairmont. Jed was great also. D is seeing his mom tomorrow and taking the broacher to her and his lap top to show her virtual tour.

It was a shock as to how much it cost, so that was kind of a learning process. This is more of a senior living facility so they don't really provide care, just 3 meals a day and housekeeping, so I think that's fine. I don't eat there, but at first he thought the food was wonderful, a five, but then it kind of wore off and got old, just like everything else. They do have activities, he just doesn't do them. He's always been somewhat of a hermit, he socializes with his friends at mealtime but I think it's more of the woman who participate in the activities. He's always lived on his own, so this is his first time living in an apartment type place. He wants to do an in-law suite with us, he knows he can't live alone anymore, but I have to keep reminding him that he won't get 3 meals a day and no one will be home because we all work.

I really enjoyed the tour. The staff was courteous and every resident that I encountered had wonderful things to say about this senior community. I was very impressed and felt very welcomed. All of my questions were answered and I was given an abundance of information to pass along to my cousin.

Laurel Grove is a very nice place for seniors, the staff is very nice, they show you that they care and make you feel at home and welcomed. My senior advisor was awesome. I definitely would use them again.

Visited this community yesterday. Very nice. Lots of encouraging care here. I'll bring my parents here for a visit in the next couple of months.

R loved the hustle bustle of ALL the people. She loved the garden and atrium with benches and the winding path in the back grounds of this facility.She preferred the studio room over 'the landing at Behrman' and the fact that it was closer to both her children's residence.

talked with activities director, saw several rooms , 2 bdrm seemed good, spacious rooms for residents upstairs for activities outside of their room. Not sure of pricing will have to follow up with costs etc...

My parents are participating in activites and that's very good because before they were very isolated, they were ready to go to a place like this. I was the one to do it, both of them use walkers so I had to look at places and it got to the point where I was desperate and I didn't see anything that really resonated with me. When I got here it felt right, I literally had tears in my eyes. It's a very pleasant environment, very homie and there's lots of activites for people to get involved in. They know people by name, they know me by name and it's like you're apart of a family. It's always kind of distrupting when you're leaving what's familiar to you, it may have taken my father longer but he's found people that have similar interests and i got so excited when he told me my mom was going out to lunch with some ladies.

We're very, very happy! Mom is really happy. She's getting the right care now. She was borderline diabetic and that's all gone away. She's eating the right food to maintain a healthy weight. I love Deepwood Estates! The people there are so professional and friendly and caring. My mom really knows the people there and I think that has made a huge difference for my mom.

They were really, really fantastic. I have raved about them to so many people. I'm going to give them high marks accross the board - they really earned it! The thing that made the difference was the staff. The people that worked there were so genuinely nice and patient and went above and beyond any expectations. They all went out of their way to help my mother.
