The Blake at Woodcreek Farms

My dad is in the memory care area of The Blake at Woodcreek Farms. He has a wonderful room. It's spacious enough. He has a sense of having an apartment and the people are wonderful. They try very hard to keep up with everybody and make sure everybody eats and is safe. They're all very caring and tender with the residents. The staff is a little lacking sometimes, but for the most part, they are very good. They come in and change his trash and clean up. They have been very caring of every resident, no matter what role the staff has. I see them come in, even the physical therapist stops by and makes sure somebody takes a few bites of food when they're not eating. So, they all work together very well to take care of the residents. They were also doing bingo with them one day, and everybody seemed to be enjoying that. I would highly recommend this place.

The Blake at Woodcreek Farms was a very nice facility but the rooms are in a hallway like a hotel. I also thought that the common area was a little sterile for the memory care patients. They also had a nursery for baby dolls, which I know can be comforting for some but I found it just a little creepy. While we're down there, I like the lady named Gail. She's a wonderful person and I cannot say enough good things about her. The facility is older though. It was built in the 80s, it had window units inside the rooms, underneath the windows, like a hotel, which I didn't like. The rooms were rather small for the price that you're paying. Even though I know that they have a lower ratio of patients to staff and I like the homeyness of it, it was dated and that was a kind of a turn-off for the money that you were spending there. I thought the staff and Gail were just outstanding. The room that I would have picked for my mother was very nice. It had a lot of separation between it and it had a sitting room. They also had smaller rooms but I thought the room itself was the nicest. If I had to pick something, I would have picked them if I was forced to pick something, even though I didn't like the nursery part. It's one of the most expensive places and also a gated community. It had enough security and homeyness there and the staff and patient ratio are just outstanding. They're in the process of updating some of their parts too but it was hard for me to justify a $2,000 difference between where my mother was and putting her in a much older facility, even though I like the staff better. That's a hard decision for me.

The Blake at Woodcreek Farms was beautiful. The people were nice, the dining room was very appealing, and the apartments were lovely. The staff and everybody was very nice, the amenities were good. They had a nice movie room, and they have arts and crafts. They didn't have a game room for something that would appeal to my father, but the apartments were all modern and very well laid out. I was a little more biased for that one because it was close to my house and that's where I want my parents to be.

I went to The Blake at Woodcreek Farms. It was beautiful. It was gorgeous. I told my husband I wouldn't mind going there. It was well organized. I like the activities they had. The room was well set up. It was very pretty and very charming. I like the menu in the dining area, and I like the openness of it. They have little garden areas. It was very quaint and there were a lot of options like shopping trips and other events. I said, 'Wow, I wouldn't mind staying here.' It was very pretty and well-kept. I like the various activities. The staff who accommodated us was very personable. He could relate to what I was going through, and that made it worthwhile. It was very personal because when someone can relate to your experience, and you can talk at their level and vice versa, so we had a real good conversation. I like them. The rooms looked like mini apartments. There are trips to the local stores, and they have some other trips that were more fun like group trips that you could participate in, so I like having that option. You want to get out sometimes, so I like that availability of being able to move around and to see some things, and if you didn't want to go, you can stay put. One man even had a vegetable garden, and it was nice. It was a small space outside, but it was a fantastic garden, he truly had a green thumb, and just having that opportunity to do that was nice. They had a nice gym, a nice spa, and a salon area. The gym was fantastic. It was very nice. They have exercise classes available to you. You could do your physical therapy there if you needed it after a hospital stay or what-have-you.

I did a tour at The Blake at Woodcreek Farms for a friend of mine. It was very clean, very nice, and the staff was nice. It was a clean environment. The place looked kind of new. The staff were very respectful as far as speaking, and it was a nice environment all the way around. I saw a shared room, and a single room; they were well lit

I went on an in person tour of The Blake at Woodcreek Farms. It was well maintained and well kept. They had a lot of activities in terms of their activity calendar. From what I could see, and with Covid you could only see so much, it looked like it was a nice place that anybody would want to possibly have their relative. There were no meal options. They sent us home with praline, but I didn't eat those because I have food sensitivity, so I didn't get a chance to try anything. They talked about their courtyard area that has exercise walking trails, they talked about games, and they talked about where residents can get their hair and nails done, and those were really nice options.
