The Blake by QSL Management

We toured this community and it is very nice. The facility looks good and they have had a good covid plan in place. I have a friend that is at this community.

I think no matter how prepared you are, you're not going to cover everything. It's a learning experience. Try to have patience and give things time. And every one of our loved one's needs are different, like fingerprints. Try not to beat yourself up too bad about your decision. Looking back on the several months my loved one has been there now, it seems to have gotten better, and it does seem to have been the best answer. It's a lot of money, but they're able to provide the extra care we're not able to. And I think she's happier. She gets to focus on the here and now. I promised my father that I would keep her safe, and I think with Sunrise that I've met that obligation. The staff are absolutely very friendly. Activities seem to be good. Talking to my loved one, she's raved about someone they had come by to sing one night, and they play lots of games. They send out a newsletter. I'm sure that there are more expensive, better places, and I know there are less expensive, worse places. So here locally in the Baton Rouge area, I would put them in the top two thirds of places. It's terrible that money has to come down to a consideration for something like this, but that's life. But I think we've made the right choice. It's in a good location for our family to stop by and visit. It's convenient right off the highway. I think it was the right call for us.

It is a very good community for the price. Some of the staff seem overwhelmed at times. There are times where the staff could be improved with their communication and response time to the families. My loved one is getting the care he needs though.

My dad has not moved in quite yet because we are waiting on his furniture, that is why it was a 4. They have been very nice and accommodating and are very thorough when answering any of my questions and great with communication. He got the vaccinations through them even though he has not moved in yet. I am up here frequently and they know me by name when I walk in. Everything is starting to come alive here and I saw they had entertainment there during lunch time. My dad is a very picky eater and he said that the food here is great, they do provide a menu to choose They have a banner outside that shows that 70% of their residents are fully vaccinated now.

I would recommend The Blake. My experience might be different than what most people go through. It was so quick. My loved one ended up needing a lot more care than we expected. At first we thought she would be fine in assisted living, and then she ended up going into memory care and deteriorated pretty quickly. I can't blame that on the Blake though, it was just the situation. I liked them very much. The staff have all been great. They're very friendly, and they seem to honestly care. The food is pretty good, and there seemed to be a good variety. If a resident didn't like some of the options they were serving, they had additional options the residents could choose from. They were offering plenty of activities, but my loved one just wouldn't participate. The hallways, the cafeteria, all the main areas were very clean. They did not pay as good of attention to my loved one's room as I would have liked. It would have been nice if they could have had some light daily cleaning. But it was clean there overall. They're just a little more expensive than other places, but it's so nice, it feels worth it to me.

We toured this community and it was a very nice facility. The tour was really good but they did not have the type of memory care that our loved ones needed so the community didn't fit our needs.

If it's for somebody who is not bedridden, it's fine. For someone who is bedridden, as was the case with my loved one, the staff is not available to be there enough. And it was hard to get in touch with the staff if you needed anything to be done. The only help she had available was one of the Life Alert buttons. It would contact Life Alert, who then got in touch with the staff. I didn't have a problem with the staff overall, but there was a little tiff between the hospice nurse and the caretakers there at Ashley Park. Each one did not think the other was doing everything they should have been doing. But it was clean there, everywhere I went. I would recommend this community to more able seniors.

We were able to do an in person tour at this facility, it was very very nice, however our loved one is very picky and he did not think it was going to be a good fit.

Great job!

In general, everybody was very friendly and helpful, except for one wellness nurse who needs to take some lessons in compassion and interactions with humans. There were some blips in continuity -one staff member told me one thing about handling of a lab, and the wellness nurse got snippy with me and told me otherwise. She also treated me with insensitivity when I came into the facility after my loved one passed away. In looking for care for my loved one, I was led to believe it was different than what it actually was. Whether nursing home vs assisted living vs memory care, I kind of envisioned it to be a lot more hands on than it was, especially after the conversation I had with Sunrise about the level of care my loved one required. I did understand that unless someone was there 24/7, certain things couldn't be avoided, and there's only a certain number of staff in ratio to the residents. But I was led to believe it would be more individualized attention, especially in memory care with the extra surveillance needed. I believe my loved one had more falls due to lack of individualized attention. My loved one would wake in the night, and it was almost like they had never dealt with such a thing before. I was caught off guard by some of the challenges they were running into. I would have thought these would be a daily experience for them caring for residents with dementia. On the more positive side, the food looked appetizing and well presented, smelled good, and my loved one happily ate it. She also liked to participate in activities like cooking/baking, and singing.

I like it here, and I have recommended this community to others. I like my Apt. and it's quiet here. I am able to come and go as I choose. The director is very nice and I feel blessed to know her. Communication is very good and they return calls quickly.

The food was being delivered to the resident's rooms due to the pandemic. There has been a chance for the residents to participate in an invitation request to eat in the dining room. My loved one enjoys the activities. The staff is very friendly. The management is very good and helpful. The community looks nice. The residents are overall happy.

I feel like it's a good option for someone who shouldn't be alone and needs to be cared for, but doesn't need medical care yet. They're very on top of billing and bookkeeping, making everything clear and easy to understand, unlike our experience at a different community. The staff here is very responsive and supportive.

Overall the community is excellent. The staff is very very friendly. I don't really like just living there I feel like I'm with family. I would recommend this community to others. The community is neat and clean

The community is good. You will need to keep in mind that they need more nurses on staff.

We chose Washington Commons because it was pretty convenient and from what I saw we thought it would be a good fit for her. It has been a great place and we have had a good experience so far. She does complain about the food and it could use improvement, they serve a lot of sandwiches and I think they need meals that are more nutritious. Overall, I would recommend them to others looking.

Excellent property. Very new and fresh. The interior common spaces are excellent, but not overly large. The community is set in the Township which is beautiful setting beside the lake. Numerous amenities from spa to movie room and much more. They have a staff of two NP's and several RN's with 24/7 medical staff on premise. The NP's are practicing on site basic medicine for the residents so they do not have to leave campus for smaller medical concerns. They begin at the assisted living level and we are looking to begin at independent living level. Otherwise the Blake would be a contender for us.

We chose Sunrise because of the location, we also thought the facility looked clean and cheerful, and it got good reviews. The room sizes seem adequate compared to others that we looked into. I would tell others that the test for us was during the pandemic and they have managed to keep residents safe and secure and they have done a great job. I would recommend.

We chose Sunrise at Webb Gin because I liked the whole look and feel of the facility, it is very homey but up to date and very inviting. The staff members are all very friendly, and the folks who have managed my moms care have shown genuine interest when caring for her. Whenever my mom had any issues they were very on top of things and good with communication. They do also have great activities for residents when the pandemic is not going on. I would recommend to others looking.

If you are looking for independent living for your loved one, this would be a good place. The staff was great. My loved one's room was a nice size for the money. The food was very good and I was able to eat with my loved one on occasion. I would recommend looking elsewhere if you need memory care, or assisted living.
