The Blake by QSL Management

Nice, friendly place. The staff were very sweet and addressed us each time we saw them. Dad is not ready for assisted living.... yet. But good to know this is an option.

This was a very nice community. It was more of an independent senior living and they didn't have any medical help. If the care needs increased we would have to move again. It wasn't a good fit for our needs.

I was pleased with them, but not with the home health service they had in house. I didn't have a choice of which service to use, we had to go with theirs. The nurse could not care for his wound, and he was no longer able to stay there. The people were very nice, very considerate. We were very impressed with it. The food was very good, they have programs for the residents.

Very accommodating. Would need ground floor apartment for the dog. Ability to lock-in the rate.

We visited this Estate. it was very nice,friendly and very clean. The rooms were a little small and our furniture is a little bulky. The price is too high for the size of the apt.

It has been fine, no problems so far. They've been very accommodating. They've been really good. A place for mom has been more than helpful providing different resources to go to. We really appreciate what they've done for us. It's a real nice place. We found them to be friendly. We had a few meals they weren't the best but they aren't bad, they are pretty nutritious and they have a lot of choices. The responsiveness and communication in the billing department could use a little improvement. There are good activities. There's enough of a choice that she can do a book club instead of bingo. It takes a little while to get to her in the evening when she needs help. When we were down there and wondering what to do, and where to go A Place For Mom was a great resource.

Caregiver supervision is exemplary. Staff is helpful

We have been very pleased with Sunrise of Decatur so far. The staff has been very friendly and seem to care about the residents. The facility is lovely and well maintained. We've never noticed any oders and all the residents in the Reminiscence unit look properly cared for. The executive director, Rhett is always happy to answer any questions and his newest assistant, Zack, is s the sweetest thing on four legs.

Very nice community. I really liked the home feel and all the activities that this facility has to offer.

This is a beautiful place and it was comparable, price-wise, to others we were looking at but we have more of my family in New York/New Jersey area so I thought that would be a better place for my mom. She could have more people to visit her up there. That was purely a geographic decision.

My mom is not really getting involved in any activities, I have seen them there, but she doesn't do any of them. The food is excellent, what they provide is way better than the other places checked; I would put them as far superior. But you just get a continental breakfast in the morning and then a full dinner, so they don't get lunch and I just wish they would get a little more protein for breakfast. My mom wanted high ceilings and there's probably 17 foot ceilings so it seems more spacious and she has a great water view and a view of several pools and some trees, it's very nice.

The lady, she's a friend from church, but she don't need a whole lot of care, it's not perfect, but all in all I think it's pretty good. I guess her mother used to be there, she's happy there and she seems to be content. The main thing I hear her saying is communication, everytime she calls them to have them take her in the van to a doctors appointmentthey say it's booked or its full so she calls me to take her and she doesn't think they communicate with her like they should, but thats pretty much what I hear her complain about.

Deepwood looked great, it just didn't have the care we thought she would need and it wouldn't provide what she would need. It's more independent living, they don't have caregivers on site, they just have residential managers and I know they have pull cords and they would have responded if there was an emergency.

My parents have only been there 2 and a half weeks, so far everything is fine. Overall it seems pretty good, my parents like the food and it did take them a while to get someone in there to clean, for some reason after the first week they didn't come in but they are now. Sometimes the managers seem overwhelmed, but I could have just caught them on a bad day or something. From the tour to my parents being there now, I don't think it's changed an awful lot. The maintenance person there is very, very good and everyone seems to be caring and friendly. I don't think they've really gotten involved in any activities yet, my father is hard of hearing and my mother has Alzheimer's, but they have all sorts of activities for Alzheimer's, it's just a matter of it being communicated to my parents. I think they send around a little paper that tells them about the activities during the week and they have a calendar and menus so they know what is being served.

I think it's the perfect fit. It's three meals a day in a pleasant dining room, there's lots of light in the common areas, the activities director is real personable. I like the size of ti for him, it's small so everybody will sort of look familiar after a while so that's a good thing. It's independent living but they saw something that they thought we might want to address so they're attentive which is nice. It's clean, and that's part of what the room and board is providing, his sheets and towels are washed once a week and light cleaning once a week so that's nice. The other stand alones in the area didn't provide the three meals a day so there really wasn't anything else to compare this to.

Awesome facility, great staff, beautiful outdoor space, Loved the atmosphere!

I think they did a pretty good job. Everybody is sort of relaxed. The front staff is very good at interacting and working with the people - they know everybody's name. The apartment is nice. They refurnished it. My dad is eating 3 square meals a day and they're good meals. The management encourages you to come and eat with them. We're still in the trial period but I'm encouraged right now. I had a good feeling about them when we first went over there and my dad would ask about the place. He's pretty comfortable there. He's still melting into the crowd but he's starting to get to know people. My only concern is that they are not assisted living. You can get assisted care if you hire a 3rd party to come in and some people do that but if we get to a point where he needs more I'm not sure if they will be equipped.

LOOKS GOOD. WON'T BE MAKING ANY DECISION FOR 6 MONTHS.

They've been flexible with my mom. What I like is that there is a very tenured staff so there is a lot of consistency over the years. The head of the memory care floor has been there for years, almost since they opened. She is used to train the other Sunrise properties in the area. Since there is such a tenured staff, that usually comes with good things for the elderly. I've been pleased. I've learned this from first hand experience as well as growing up around elderly grandparents - nothing is perfect but this property is really good. They really try.

Really liked this place and parents actually seemed interested. Will work to take them to visit.
