I'm very impressed with Holiday Blair House. The people seemed vibrant, happy, and smiling, and it was just really open. I enjoyed it. It was nice. The staff was very knowledgeable, very understanding, very courteous, and did a good job. I was very impressed with the room we saw. It was a little bit larger and I think somebody had just moved out, so they had it set up how they wanted. That one I enjoyed. There were a couple of rooms that needed to have a little bit of work done. We went to the dining area. I know the chef was very well spoken of. It was in the wintertime, so there were leaves on the grounds. It wasn't as pretty as what it was going to be in the spring and summer, but it looked like a nice area. I kind of judge a facility on how the people are, and they all seemed to be happy, smiling, talking, and interacting, so that in itself is a big plus.

My mother stayed there when she moved to this area. She enjoyed it very much. She loved the food, the friendliness and the bingo party. I would recommend it to anyone.

Holiday Blair House is excellent. Everybody here has just been so nice and helpful. I love my apartment. It is clean and they try to make sure that everybody feels like they are at home. They've helped me and showed me around when I needed to find a certain place. So, they're always willing to help out. There's a nice little dining area. The chef is very good and the servers are just as pleasant and helpful as can be. They have music sometimes during a meal, so you can relax and enjoy yourselves. They've got all kinds of activities. There are card games, bingo, movies and popcorn, a library that you can go down into, and places off-set in different areas of the building where you can just go sit, relax, and read or do whatever. It's got a beauty shop, too. It's got about everything you need.

Holiday Blair House was an extremely livable place. It was clean. Everything was well cared for. The people that were there seemed engaged in different activities. The lunchroom looked like it was a dining room at a restaurant. I was very impressed with the people and the cleanliness of the facility. It looked like a home when you got inside the rooms. I viewed a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom, and a studio thing. They weren't standalone units, but they were within the main facility there. It just looked like it would be a comfortable place. All the different things looked new and very clean. They had a place to get your hair done. I thought it was a great place. The way they described the dining room, where you order off of a menu and stuff, and just by the atmosphere of the place, it looked like a very nice place. I only met three people there, but they were very accommodating, friendly, and professional.

Blair House is our first choice because they're a lot cheaper than the other place, but it has no nurse care on-site. Their staff is great. They got excellent food. Their building facility is even better. It's fancier and upscale. It's top of the top over there. You can buy nursing care over there, but they don't have a nurse in the facility, which is a bad thing. Their facilities are exercise rooms, theater rooms, and outdoor and indoor apartments. The apartments have an outdoor patio. It is a very classier, high-end place. And it's probably $1000 cheaper a month, and that's a lot for some people that don't have money. The dining room is the best that you can get and as good as any $500 hotel in Chicago. It's the best and it's top of the line. They've got a full kitchen in your apartment. The rooms are more spacious than any other place. They've got outdoor patios for all the rooms, which none of the other places do. Their entrance looks like the Hilton Hotel. Their dining room looks like you're catered to like a millionaire. They have a set-up in there for snacks like rolls and all kinds of good stuff to eat, and it's there 24 hours a day for the people, so they can never run out of food. They get three choices of their main course for each meal. The food is unbelievable. They have two different places for services on Sunday. They've got a separate room for a theater for showing movies. They've got a facility that's got a kitchen and dining room tables where the ladies can go in and prepare a meal for other ladies in the group. They can get together and eat. They can play cards, bingo, or put puzzles together. They've got a regular library and two outdoor facilities that are tremendous. They've got a facility where if somebody wants to plant flowers, you can have a little garden for yourself outside. They bring entertainment in. There's a salon for nails and hair; it's upscale and first-class. The community is first class all the way. You can go outside and get full nursing care, but they don't have a nurse on staff. They have an ambulance service that is right across the street. The ambulance people could walk there in about three minutes if you had an emergency. The staff there are above and beyond.

Blair House is basically a retirement home where you can get support, but as much support as our Mom would need. You can get assistance, but you have to pay extra for almost all of the services. The place was nice, very clean, the residents there seemed very happy, and the room sizes were nice. There seem to be many activities for them, and the residents that were actually there were very friendly. They had an exercise area, a kind of activity center area that's got billiards, or a pool table that was in one area. They had laundry on every floor and they had food available for the residents everywhere, like all day long.

The best thing about Blair House is probably the location. The least would be the age of the building. It's an independent living and I toured it in September. It's an older building and needs to be updated. It's probably 35 to 40 years old. The staff is all very helpful and courteous. I think they had a salon, a small exercise room, and a library. It's very close to the local university and close to shopping and things like that.

My first choice would be Blair House. I like the friendliness of it and the convenience, and I live just down the street from there. So it's in my neighborhood. They don't have a pool, but they have a little park area in the back for just sitting in the sun or taking your dog out. They do allow dogs. I don't know if they allow cats. They may charge twenty-five dollars a month on that.
