From the moment we arrived with our mom, we knew we had made a mistake! We decided to give this facility a try, but as time went on, we witnessed many residents being neglected and uncared for. Our mom suffered a stroke, and we were not notified until days later. We will forever regret our decision to place her at the Blake. The workers were uncaring and unconcerned about her care. Thank goodness we had a hospice team in place.
