BLAIR RIDGE HEALTH CAMPUS

We placed my aunt here as dementia whittled away her time and light. What Blair Ridge gave us was nothing short of miraculous. We saw her smile return. She found safety within that place. Her laughter returned and she sang again. Obviously, that didn’t reverse her illness but the amazing team of people there made every minute she had left better. They loved her and us, by extension. This place was the single best decision we could have made for her care and we are grateful and blessed by Blair Ridge.

I’m writing this review as someone who has seen firsthand what happens behind the scenes at Blair Ridge. While some staff truly care, there are serious concerns that families deserve to know before trusting this facility with their loved ones. During my time there, I witnessed residents being left in soiled clothing for extended periods just being ignored (was mainly a dementia patient maybe they thought they forgot), staff brushing off supply shortages with comments like “they won’t care, they won’t even notice,” and workers openly discussing their personal problems with residents—something taught in CNA training is completely inappropriate and unprofessional, can result in firing. Not here your loved one will be hearing about their issues and have to sit through a seminar thats not educational but about their own life problems. Even more troubling, when staff raised concerns about bullying or mistreatment, management often failed to act. The culture of accountability is inconsistent at best. Some employees are allowed to violate basic care standards without consequence, while others are scrutinized unfairly. If you’re considering Blair Ridge for your family member, I urge you to ask hard questions—not just about the building or the activities, but about how staff are trained, how complaints are handled, and how residents’ dignity is truly protected day to day. Your loved one deserves better than surface-level care

My grandfather had lived alone for many years following the passing of my grandmother. He decided to move into an independent living apartment in the summer of 2024, with the thought that he would transition to assisted living when necessary. He loved not having to cook all of his meals (even as a picky eater, he really enjoyed the food!) and the convenience of the cleaning service, but he really just wanted to be around people again. He was surprised how genuinely the staff cared for him and was even more surprised by how quickly he made friends and how much he enjoyed the leisure opportunities, while still having his own private space. After a few months, he declined from a previous health issue and was admitted to the health center, where he remained for 2 months. He loved the health center staff and was given the absolute best care and attention in his final days. Our entire family felt embraced and truly cared for. Whether living independently, assisted, or with skilled care, the Blair Ridge staff will go above and beyond for your loved one and your family.

I trust Blair Ridge with my loved one. She has been there for several years. She consistently receives kind, compassionate and patient-centered care. She no longer remembers names but she does remember faces and the longevity of caregivers allows her to be familiar with those that meet her needs daily. One of her caregivers even brings her kids to visit and gives her little gifts on the holidays or special occasions. I also had another family member utilize the independent living apartments for a respite stay after surgery and she had only great things to say.

I have had multiple family members here and the staff and experience were 10/10. You won’t find a more compassionate and caring team, and the food is top notch!
