My father has been at The Blake Memory Care since October, and our family is so grateful for the care he’s receiving. When he first arrived, he was in very fragile condition, but over the past few months, the improvement in his overall health and well-being has been remarkable. Each time I visit, he is more alert, active, and engaged. He looks healthier and truly seems comfortable and well cared for. I don’t live locally, but my family nearby has shared the same positive observations and continues to be impressed by his progress. It gives us great peace of mind knowing he is in such a supportive and compassionate environment.

Open and airy meeting area. Receptionist and other staff people said hi and addressed the resident by name. There was a musician who performed and encouraged participation. Residents joined in familiar songs. I rest room available for guests was very clean.

As a community partner, I’m consistently impressed with the team at The Blake at Charlottesville. Tamika at Concierge is warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. Carol, the Activity Director, brings creativity and joy to every event, keeping residents engaged and happy. The nursing team ” Amanda and Michelle ” are compassionate, attentive, and dedicated to excellent care. Heather, the Sales Director, is professional, supportive, and truly committed to guiding families through the process. Sheri in the Business Office is always helpful and quick to answer any questions I have. Cordell, the Dining Services Director, consistently serves up great food, and Rick, the Maintenance Director, keeps the building in excellent shape. I love partnering with this team!

We, (my Mom) has been there over two months and have nothing but good things to say about The Blake. From the first meeting (with Heather Clark) it was a smooth transition to what is a daunting decision. The medical staff (Amanda) is on top of her needs. Even the front desk (Tamika) could not be more helpful. These are just a few of the competent and caring staff that makes it a wonderful place for my Mom to live. I would unhesitatingly recommend The Blake.

I couldn’t be happier with the care and support my grandparents have received at The Blake. From the moment we arrived, the staff have gone above and beyond to make them feel comfortable, safe, and truly at home. The environment is welcoming, the facilities are well-maintained, and there’s always a sense of warmth and community. A special thank you to Heather, who has been absolutely incredible. Her kindness, attentiveness, and constant willingness to help have made such a positive difference for our entire family. She’s been a steady source of support through every step of the transition, and we’re so grateful for her dedication and compassion. This is truly the perfect place for my grandparents, and I have full peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands.

I recently spent four days at The Blake at Charlottesville and was incredibly impressed. I had the pleasure of working closely with Heather, the Director of Sales, and she is outstanding”knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about the community. The Blake itself is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and has a warm, inviting atmosphere that immediately feels like home. It’s clear that the staff truly care about the residents and their families. I highly recommend The Blake to anyone seeking a senior living community that combines professionalism with heartfelt care.

My mom moved into assisted living about two weeks ago and is absolutely thriving. When living on her own, she was terribly depressed and self-isolating. Her physical and mental conditions had deteriorated significantly. At The Blake, she is going to meals, making friends, participating in activities, and forming relationships with the wonderful staff. They manage all her meds, help with cleaning and laundry, and encourage her to participate in activities. The Assistant Director of Wellness Amanda Richardson has spent about 2 hours with her, helping manage her healthcare and get appointments scheduled. She feels very comfortable and confident with Amanda helping to manage her care. Amanda Burke the Sales Director was tremendously helpful in getting her into an apartment and even lending some furniture until we can get Mom's own furniture in. She was clear about the services and costs and made sure Mom could transition to The Blake from the rehab facility where she had been ASAP. Mom was originally extremely hesitant about moving into any assisted living facility but now says she loves it there and that she feels much more secure and happier. She's even become a bit of an ambassador, welcoming new residents and offering to talk to them if they're feeling anxious about being there. I look forward to Mom having many good years there with an excellent quality of life.

When you walk into THE BLAKE, you first notice the welcoming feel it has. This community is exactly what everyone is looking for. Why, you ask?

This review is to save expense & grief of placing loved ones at The Blake. My mom moved in Memory Care 4/24, mobile & in good health. Soon, we realized the care was nowhere close to what we signed. Diet not followed, bathing irregular. Clothes worn days at a time. Fluids not offered throughout the day. She became dehydrated. She had her 1st UTI. Her medications remained the same while there. I put in a camera. One morning, an aide woke her abruptly. She was dizzy & weak. The aide proceeded to seat my mom setting a breakfast plate in front of her, then left the room. Too weak to feed herself, attempted to get up & fell hitting her head. Bloodied, she crawled trying to get up. I remembered a friend was in the common area so I texted her for help. We were in the ER for 5 hrs. Returning to The Blake, Manager, [name removed], promised she would put extra sets of eyes on my mom & make use of the alert system so this would not happen again. The next morning, 2 aides woke my mom, lifted her up, but she fell back onto the bed. They pulled her up & proceeded to take her down the long hall to breakfast! My mom was allowed to fall again hitting her head & bloodying her nose before leaving her room. They left her alone on the floor waiting for help. She was taken to the ER for another 5 hrs with the same scans and xrays as the day prior. The doctor admitted her. My daughter & I arranged a meeting with [name removed] and corp's new pit bull, [name removed]. This was the first time we met [name removed] who is without compassion, understanding or patience. Rather than discussing my mothers care, [name removed] proceeded to tell untruths turning the table on us. All [name removed] said was, "Judy, one day you like me and the next you don't." That's when I realized it was personal. [name removed] shoved a paper in front of us that said my mom had 30 days to get out. My mother is the kindest person you'd ever meet. My daughter & I were in shock! There are waiting lists for memory care facilities. 30 days? It was my daughter's bday & this ruined what we had planned for her later. I was physically ill for over a week. We were forced to tour other facilities during heat advisories. I've survived breast cancer twice. This bad experience ranked right up there. The local Ombudsman called [name removed] to say 30 days was not adequate. Asking [name removed] what she said in the meeting, [name removed] realized that she could not back up her statements. Then, she proceeded to tell the Ombudsman what to say to her boss, [name removed], to get him to wave the 30 days (recorded). She called him and he agreed, only if we removed our Google review! Reviews are FREE SPEECH! A few wks after, my mom was wandering the hallways trying to get someone to let her in her room. She fell again and hit her head. Screams finally got the attention of a caregiver. Another ER visit, this time her scan revealed fluid on her brain. She was admitted & we removed her from The Blake taking the 30 days. We had to place my mother in another facility for 2 wks until she could move to her new home during which she contracted COVID for the 1st time. We had several meetings over the 4 mos & they promised things would get better. [name removed] is the only person who has been there a while & it is she who corp believes, not fully knowing realities why it's in such a state. Corp flies in from TN & FL for short periods of time. Admitting things aren't up to par, they still sign residents up. Friends have removed their loved ones as well from the Blake. MD's have told me The Blake Memory Care is their least favorite design, huge. I can't tell you how many residents we have helped while visiting my mom. Stuck in doorways, fallen, yelling for help, etc. One resident face planted and died. Our nightmare is over.

My mom's attitude and quality of life has increased 100% since moving to The Blake! The sweet staff; the clean, safe, and spacious environment; and the healthy meals have contributed to her increased quality of life. While these factors are all very important when deciding to place a loved one in any type of facility, our family also seriously considered the daily activities that are provided. Activities and socialization are of key importance for an elder person's physical and mental health. In my mother's case, I have to admit that the activities at The Blake are most definitely the driving force behind her positive attitude! My mom is very outgoing and while she is need of some assistance, she is no where close to needing a nursing home type of environment. We find the activities at The Blake to be extremely inclusive and entertaining! The staff is very attentive and ensures that everyone enjoys themselves! I personally am impressed with the variety of activities; from various holiday parties to paint and sip to bingo! Oh and the regular outings.... restaurants, vineyards, and shopping allows the residents to get out and enjoy the Charlottesville community! My mom and our family all agree that The Blake is a wonderful place to live!

Have been meaning to post this for a while now. I moved my dad to the Blake back in May after a hospital stay. He was getting therapy and working hard to get back home. We found everyone at the Blake to be DELIGHTFUL! We were treated like family (including putting up with the frustrations of an older gentleman!) The facility was beautiful and always spotless! Heather did a great job at helping us get started. Amber was a great contact for me and really kept an eye on my dad. My dad had a procedure at the hospital while he was there and they checked on his throughout the night when he returned. His nurse and CNA were so loving and patient with him. While my dad isn't a "social" person, the activities they had were great. The other residents were so sweet too. Honestly, I was wishing I could move in!!! My dad (like most folks) really wanted to be home so we eventually moved him home. The director was so understanding and kind when we told him we were moving - even going so far as to say "this isn't goodbye, it's see you later!" and offered for us to come and attend any activities they were offering. I feel quite comfortable saying that, if we needed them again, I wouldn't hesitate to move him back in! Thank you to all the staff at the Blake for making a tough time SOOOOO much easier!!

Been here 2 1/2 years. Perfect size for Assisted Living and Memory Care. Facility is new, technologically up to date, with caring, competent staff and management. Facility is large enough to offer all amenities: dining, outings, in house activities, nurses, and medical staff to handle all issues. But small enough that it does not have a large, impersonal, hotel fee. Staff knows every resident's need and idiosyncrasies, attentive response times. Best facility for caring for residents.
