    I have been going to the Blake to visit residents that are and have lived there over the past three…read moreyears, and see the loving care the residents receive. There are so many activities planned for the residents either at the Blake, like music concerts, luaus, country western, or trips to exiting places, like ice cream, pubs, wineries and more. The Director of Sales is always very cheerful when you see her and makes sure the residents are always heard.

    This is THE WORST experience with a company I've ever experienced!!! Memory Care is a complete FAIL…read moreon humanity. Don't be fooled by the nice looking facade! The care is neglectful to say the least. Heather initially LIED to us as we signed our contract, we asked about staffing issues. She said, "We've got that fixed now because we don't hire agencies anymore, they all work for The Blake." HA! They couldn't function without agencies! And if you don't know what that means, there are random people coming in that don't care about doing their jobs and lie about your loved ones care. We got a camera for my grandmother's room where we found out some horrifying truths. 1. Agency workers talking about how they aren't going to do x,y and z for a resident because they're tired of being told to get off phones. 2. No one offering water and letting my grandma go without meals and taking meds on an empty stomach! I had to text Heather that no one had been in my grandma's room to get her up for breakfast OR lunch. Probably not dinner either if I hadn't said something. Then agency makes up lies that my grandma was tired from being up all night. Come on - we have a camera, she was in bed! 3. Workers on camera saying my grandma had, "Ants crawling all over her," in bed. 4. Because she was dehydrated and taking meds on empty stomach, she had multiple falls even when 2 people were assisting because according to one of the employees, "They are afraid to touch Memory Care residents." 5. Hygiene was terrible. Her teeth were never brushed and she rarely showered. To top it all off - we spent months talking with a merry-go-round of corporate people who are quite laughable and did nothing to resolve any care related concerns and they are also a revolving door. We shared concerns to Estella, Lorriene, Mindy, Paula (gone), Kyle (gone), Heather, and more. Because we constantly pointed out the lack of care and because Heather "didn't feel we liked her," their solution was to discharge my grandma. I'm a teacher and work with all types of people all the time and I've NEVER seen such a complete lack of management skills, professionalism, and huge deficit in empathy. They had no care about the trauma it would cause my grandma to move and she's one of the easiest residents they've had. It is sad what passes for care. They'll lie to you too and say oh, everything is fixed now. If you want your loved one's life to be short, move them in here. Oh, and then they said they would let her stay if we only gave them positive PR and reviews! We refused and moved her to a place that's actually caring for her. If you want more details on a wonderful place as I know good care is hard to find, my number is 434-989-7870. If your loved one is a resident here, I recommend filing a DSS complaint if youv3 noticed similar issues. They've had so many violations that they are on a 1-year probationary license that is up for renewal in December I believe. See attached documents of their ridiculousness. It's hard to say our care concerns are "unfounded" when it's all on camera. They're just afraid of being in hot water. I think I'll laugh out loud if I get a comment saying, "We're sorry you experienced this, call this number because we care." They care about $$$$$!

    My 87 year old mother ("the Unicorn" as they called her), was in assisted living at OLOP for 2…read moreweeks in the summer 2020 during the beginning of covid until they threw her out for leaving her room and wandering (she was disoriented with her new place and being unable to leave her room--only masked and repeatedly reprimanded by staff--plus she was not on any meds at that time). Before throwing her out they forced me to stay in her room with her twice saying they would throw her out if I didn't come stay with her, and then a couple days later the head CNA called me at 10:30 am on a Tuesday to say come get her NOW --that she was out! After that my mother then stayed at my house for 6 months until Christmas of 2020 when OLOP took her back, but only in the locked memory care facility. After a year and a half of her doing well in memory care--not belonging there at all--after many meetings I was able to get her moved back to assisted living. In the meantime we had paid a lot more money per month for memory care. When she was moved from one type of care to another they charged us a full month's rent in both places (to and from) because of their "30 day notice policy". So we paid double rent twice while she was there because of their policy even though they were initiating the moving each time She did very well in assisted living until the summer of 2023 when they neglected to keep her on her meds--saying it wasn't their job. She became agitated off her meds and without more than 2 meetings in a short period of time they moved her back to memory care--and again charged us double rent because of the lack of a 30 day notice. She went crazy then not being on her med and being locked up and threatened to climb over the fence and leave. Even though she was 90 plus at the time they said she was a flight risk and that by saying she was leaving she had "discharged herself". They threw her out with no place left to go and no place she could afford in Charlottesville after taking most of her retirement money. They told me as she left they would be willing to take her back if "she changed". Bottom line--they care about their liability and money. Not much compassion that I saw, except for the social worker. I hate to name names but most of the people who were working there in 2023 are still in charge now in 2026. If your parent has plenty of money, is docile and doesn't need much meds or care--send em there.

We were able to tour several floors with my mother-in-law. I can understand why she would like to make this her next home. Each floor carries a different geographical theme. The attention given to decorating each floor is pleasant to the eye without overload. It was nice how all the employees greeted each other and to hear many employees have been employed 6-7 years out of the 8 years of being opened. Even the residents greeted us and spoke very highly of Rose Wood. The facility was extremely clean and the air was not masked by any perfume sprays. Resident apartments were spacious and with lots of natural light. Each floor has its own cleaning service team. We were able to view laundry being delivered to resident rooms. It was nicely folded or ironed placed on hangers. It was nice to see residents actually getting their own belongs returned to them. Residents are able to take part in many daily activities, such as games, exercising, swimming, and mini field trips around Charlottesville. Personally knowing the owners is very comforting!

    Like another reviewer I wish I could give 0 stars but it's not an option…read more On March 31st my mom had a TIA (minor stroke) we went to MJH ER and they were great, she stayed there 3 days and was released to a rehab (The Laurels) to work on some left side weakness. Her paperwork said she was a good candidate for rehab. That was all that was wrong with her going in there. I visited every day for hours and brought up my concerns that she was seeming confused. I was told that happens with a lot of people when they come in because they are in a strange place and disoriented. It kind of made sense and I accepted it which I hate myself for now. On the 5th day she was very confused and kept trying to get out of bed on her own. I talked with the nurse and he assured me when I needed to leave for work around 3pm they would put her in a chair by the nurses station to keep an eye and make sure she didn't fall. That evening I got a call at work that she'd fallen out of bed. Why was she in bed? Why weren't they keeping an eye on her? I told them I was leaving work and coming over and he tried to talk me out of it, I went and what I found when I got there broke my heart. My mom was hallucinating and was so weak. I told him I was calling a squad and taking her out. He said I couldn't do that. I pulled the power of attorney from my pocket and said oh yes I can, do you want to call a squad or should I? He still tried to get me to wait til morning which I refused. He finally relented and called a squad. While they were loading her in the squad I noticed an employee in her car and the smell of weed coming from her direction. That about summed up this place. I don't care if you smoke weed, but not when you're taking care of mine, or anyone elses mom! At the ER my mom was diagnosed with severe dehydration, a UTI, pneumonia and a diaper rash from lying in her own urine!!! None of which she had when she went in there. 3 more days in the hospital and she got a bit better but she never got back to herself. She was released to another facility (which was wonderful) but the damage was done. My mom never recovered from her ordeal and passed away on April 23rd.

    If I could rate this facility a zero, that would be overrated! I wouldn't be surprised if some of…read morethese reviews were made by staff. The unprofessionalism of the Case Manager, Lynne Radin was horrific and her character displayed no concern about patient care, but more about monetary gain. She assured my family member's daughter that there would be a long-term care bed available for her mother, but recanted once the daughter began complaining about her mother's care. Lynne also went against the daughter's wishes when it came to physical therapy, which also, we felt, played a part in Lynne forcing my family member to be moved from the facility. I am making this post on behalf of my family member. Our family member was placed at The Laurels on January 2, 2024. The entire time she was at this facility, she wasn't given a proper bath. Her daughter had to come to the facility daily to give her mother a full bath, sometimes finding her mother covered in urine and feces. When her daughter would inquire about daily care and request to review the log book to verify baths, mysteriously the staff could never produce records. Her daughter washed her laundry every week and all of her clothes would be drenched in urine and would have to be washed three times to remove the smell. I came to visit from another state some weeks back and had to step out of the room in anger because she was lying on wet sheets, her clothes were drenched, and she had a fever of over 102 degrees, her daughter had to call the staff in the room to check her temperature. She was very clammy when we came in and very out of it. It was evident that no one had checked on her for hours. I watched her daughter give her a bath along with two other staff members. Windows had to be open just to get her temperature down. It was very hard to come to visit a loved one and see this type of treatment. It seems to me that this facility is more about the money rather than authentic patient care. The Case Manager was very angry when my family member's daughter declined their services for physical therapy because she felt her mother didn't have the physical capacity to continue as her health was declining. The Case Manager wanted her to continue so that the money could come to the facility. If anyone is considering this facility, DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT bring your loved one here and expect magnificent care. In closing, avoid LYNNE RADIN, the Case Manager at all costs! I plan to assist in filing every complaint possible against this place until there are changes made for current and future residences.

The wide range of daily activities offered there was stimulating for them both and created solid interaction with other residents. This made for a true feeling of family.

Who is in charge? 2) Patients fall and are not attended to and the employees say that their "families did not want them sent to the hospital". Isn't it procedure and always appropriate to send people who fall on their heads resulting in 2.5-inch diameter bruises/swelling and continuous sleeping to the hospital for evaluation? Again-who is in charge here? 3) There is no place to take a loved one outside to enjoy the day because all of the outside areas are full of smokers (workers & patients). Couldn't there be a designated smoking area? 4) When you walk into the common area and especially the dining area you will slip and slide due to the grimey floors. Yet-the workers are "busy" laughing and gossiping in the office area. No - this is not a safe environment to leave a loved one.

But when we drove up to Culpeper Baptist Retirement, we just had a feeling this would be the right place.

We met with Rose and Tammy and immediately my uncle felt at ease with them. They were forthright and easy to talk to. My uncle has been with them for two months and, so far, everything they said about how they operate has been true. They are easy to reach and they don't hesitate to contact me with any issues my uncle may be having including any time he visits the doctor. For someone who lives in another state, it gives me great comfort that I can call and reach someone at any time and that they, too, call me consistently to give me updates. The people who work there have all been kind and all seem to work together well. My Uncle has enjoyed the varied menu of food offered at meal times (he loves not having to cook). And there are PLENTY of activities offered to the folks who stay there. There is more to say...but more than anything, we feel they are a place of integrity and they treat their clients well. We are big fans.
