I can't express all of the gratitude I have for the level of care and accommodations that we found and experienced for our Mom at Blue Lakes!
First of all, the house itself is gorgeous! So clean, all of the time! It even passed my mother's cleaning inspection, which I thought was actually physically impossible!!! It sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a well kept, lushly landscaped neighborhood. You would never know the size of the place from the street view! It looks like a regular sized upscale home and you would never imagine it is an assisted living place. But what really hit me when I first walked in, was it felt like someone's beautiful home! Relaxing, but alive....people were smiling and talking, the residents and the caretakers!
Mom was very well cared for, even in the smallest of things that are important to her. Not only is the staff there wonderful, but Ben, who is the owner, is very hands on. He was always available anytime we ever needed him, and he was continually critiquing Moms ever changing needs and/or wishes! I am very grateful for his kindness and patience towards our Mother!
Another thing I was impressed with was how special they made birthdays and holiday celebrations for the residents. Mom went on and on about how Ben's sweet little boy brought to her, her "very own" Easter basket! So cute!
While living there Mom really did enjoy participating in the all the different activies they make available for residents. While other days she chose to read her books alone in the quiet of her room.
Overall it was a great experience and I was soooo relieved of so much worry and anxiety knowing that she was in a safe environment and being well cared for!
I highly recommend Blue Lakes!
