For Blair house, i would give them all 5's on those questions. They were awesome. My dad liked it there, but needed more care than they could provide so we had to move him.

Excellent and caring people.
Mom fell twice at Blair House. The first time she broke her hip. The second she shattered her shoulder. The second time she fell, she used her "call button" and 911 took her to the hospital and didn't notify anyone. Not the people who run the place, not her caregiver, and not my sister or me. Now this was a call button from Blair House. We were all frantic when her caregiver came to her in the morning and she wasn't there. Anyway, I hope that never happens to anyone else. I will say the management and workers were excellent. However, with her shoulder and hip, she had to go into a nursing home and she deteriorated quickly and passed away last November.

Wonderful Apartments
Beautiful and spacious apartments. Rent includes 3 meals each day, cable, transportation, emergency medical pendant, weekly housekeeping and linen service. Prices are much less expensive than other communities in the area. They have a home health care company on site to help you for an additional fee, as well as physical therapy company. Staff was friendly and residents were very welcoming to me and my family during our visit. Really nice place!

Not What I Expected
I've only been here for about 2 months. A one bedroom apartment is comfortable, but I have to move to a studio. When I asked for some work on the apartment, it was completed in a timely manner. Some people are friendly and some keep to themselves. I expected more healthy, active people. Instead, there are so many on walkers and wheelchairs. I get nervous when Emergency vehicles arrive so often. The ear piercing fire alarm (in the apartment) is unbearable to me. I leave the building as soon as possible. This doesn't happen often. I was misled about Internet. It does come with your rent, but it isn't private, so you are advised to buy your own. The best thing about this place is a friendly, hard working staff. The worst is residents who gossip and claim a dining room spot as their own. That feels like middle school all over again.

The housekeeping lady is not that great. Food- they run out of fruit and bread sometimes. The activities are good, but they could have more of a variety. As for Care...only the food staff is a little understaffed.

Blair House has been home for us for the past [time frame removed], and we are very happy with our choice for retirement living. Our staff is upbeat and responsive to our needs. The meals are top notch, and efforts are made to schedule a variety of activities to meet interests of the varied residents. I recommend Blair House for Independent Retirement Living.

Would recommend Blair House. It's a great place.
Blair House is definitely a great place for seniors who are still able to take care of themselves but need a little help with meals. It's a great community, and my dad has been able to make some new friends. He still feels independent and not like he's in a nursing home. He seems genuinely happy there.

All and all I think it is a really nice place. Everybody is really friendly and supportive and try to help my loved one as much as they could. I think my loved one could really enjoy it if she got more involved. She has a cute little apartment with a balcony. It has everything she needs. Meals are good and can be delivered to her room for a fee and she enjoys that option. Housekeeping comes once a week.

The Blair House is a safe place to be, it is a place where you can put your loved one and do not have to worry. The residents are friendly, the day to day staff, house keeping and kitchen staff are wonderful. The meals are prepared by a chef and even though some of the meals are "off the wall" our loved one has yet to complain She does not always participate in the activities but they have a ton of different opportunities to get involved. We highly recommend this community to others, the location is good and it has great access.

I enjoy Blair House and have made a lot of friends here. Blair House is a great place to live. The staff are excellent to work with if I have questions or concerns. The meals are as good as you can expect. Some of the activities available are cards, bridge, poker, bingo, and more for the residents to choose from.

A Place for Mom has scored Holiday Blair House 9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
