I have lived at Blair House for [time removed] and would not want to live anywhere else. Administrative is wonderful. Just wish there more variety in our activities and programs coming in.
[Names removed] Great!! Love the beauty parlor, easy to get too!
Great community with great people!
It's a very caring good home for me.
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.

We had a really nice tour with Blair House, but my dad needed more care than they could offer.
My mom said she would not go here. It was a very dark place and not inviting at all.
We had a great tour at Blair House. There were just some things about the facility that weren't the right fit for our loved one. They don’t have full apartments there. Instead, the living spaces are almost like a hotel room that offers a little kitchenette, and I just didn’t think our loved one would be comfortable with that set-up. Also, the rooms we saw were very small, and they just weren’t as updated. That being said, there was quite a price point difference between Blair House and the community we chose. Blair House's monthly fee was quite a bit less, and they had lower entrance fees as well. The sales director that we talked to really seemed to want to get to know our loved one and very much wanted to hear about her. She made the touring process very smooth and easy.
I would say to try it. We have already picked out our apartment when we are ready. It is definitely recommended. They have food choices, such as a hot meal, a salad option, and a cold meal. Due to the pandemic restrictions they had meals delivered to the resident's rooms. The restrictions are starting to lift and the dining room is open now. There is lots of things to do for the residents to participate in.

The Blair House community is kept very clean, and when it comes to the activities they offer a lot of diverse activities for the residents to participate in.With everything that i get here and it being all inclusive i do think it is a good value for the cost.

The meals themselves would be a three in a half, and with the lock down the meals are being delivered to our rooms. The building itself is old it could use face lift, it is just worn out. The staff is thinly staffed and there are. We are very impressed with the friendliness and they try their best.

Location is great--centrally located with hospitals and shopping. Staff is fantastic --knows residents and families by name. They all go above and beyond for the seniors who live there. Activities are great--geared toward the seniors and what they want. I can't say enough good things about Blair House.

I helped my friends get into this community and it couldn't get any better. They just needed a little extra help not full care so they have a company that will do what is called spot checks. And help them with their needs as they come up. So financially was a good move. Other places didn't offer this. This place is awesome. They have a trained chef so the food is amazing and it is restaurant style 3 course meals. The staff is friendly and know them by name they know my name. They bend over backwards for us. They come in and clean and do linens 1x a week. They do the personal laundry. I would recommend this community.

My father is doing wonderful here at this community. I do feel comfortable with his move to this community. Everything is working out very well. The community is well-kept. They do a great job with the cleanliness of the community. I know he is safe, and in good hands here. I have already recommended this community to my friends, it is a nice place.

We began our quest into senior living because of our love for our beloved mother, Mary Bickford, whose needs became too great for us to manage. As we researched senior living options, we were shocked at our findings. The options offered too much or too little — none met her...
