The great care of my father is very appreciated.

Once I walked in the front door I knew my mom would love this place B she does along with me (Her son)

My husband is so well taken care of. The staff and owners are kind and caring! That is what I want for my husband.

My dad really enjoyed living here, the care he got was excellent and he enjoyed the people, heal so attended the adult day program next door keep active. My mom is still here and she likes the independence she get on the dementia unit and the fact that she can go down stairs and listen to music on Saturdays. We are very happy that we could find an affordable options for both parent that was small enough to not be overwhelming. Our family was happy we could find a place where they could both be even though they had different levels of care.

I am grateful that my uncle is living at The Blaire House. It's been almost two years and he is thriving in the caring and supportive environment. The staff is exceptional! I highly recommend Blaire House!

Blaire House is so "homey" everyone is warm, helpful and friendly and the meals are very good.

A beautiful and well maintained place. Staff is very professional. I am very happy to have mom there.

This place is very clean. Staff takes care of me cleaning and medicine. Food is very good.

The food is the best! My favorite is the lasagna. There are so many activities and live music every Saturday. The staff are very friendly and attentive.

I have been coming here for almost 6 years (since 2019) and have been very satisfied w/ the way things are run here and the hospitality not to mention the meals and activities!!!

So far so good! The staff are very good and the memory care pricing is great! the last place my wife was at was more expensive and the care wasn't good. No issues here.

I have been here for six months and have felt very welcome since the first day. Everyone on the staff has been very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of activities to participate in and the meals are very good. There is also an extensive library for those of us who like to read.

This is an easy rating for me... The Blaire house gets a 5 rating in each of the 7 categories. I must also share the sad news also that my mom passed away less than 3 months after joining the Blaire house, and most of that was in the medical care section of the facilities there or at the end, in Milford hospital. Nevertheless the Blaire team was exceptionally supportive and caring to both mom and my sister and as well. Our only regret is that Mom did not have enough time at Blaire as we all would have liked.

Everyone and everything was a great experience for my mother while she was there. On her last days of life, the staff were even more attentive. I would definitely recommend Blair House to others.

It is definitely a family owned and family run atmosphere and we love that. We do not feel like my dad is just another person or number. [name removed] the intake coordinator knew everyone on my dads floor by their first name and it is things like that that really stuck out to us when we were here touring. He has been acclimating well and they are great about keeping in contact with us if there are any questions or concerns. They have been very responsive and accommodating to any needs that we have had. The gal who runs the kitchen has talked to us and are trying their hardest to get dad to eat since he is a picky eater. Any concerns we have had they address immediately. I would absolutely recommend Blaire House to others. It definitely feels like one big family.

This is a very good community for our loved one. The biggest drawback for us is the distance from family. The staff communication with the family is very good. The community is clean, and the Executive Director really tries. There are activities for the residents to choose from.

I was sent to Blair House by a hospital in the summer of 2020 so that I could handle having to walk up the stairs to my third-floor apartment. It was during Covid, so I had a full room to myself and went outside to see my guests. The nursing staff was very good at rewrapping my wounded leg. The physical therapists were great at working up my strength little by little, until I was able to climb stairs well enough to go home. I am very thankful that I was sent here!

We chose Blaire House of Milford Assisted Living because I got a gut feeling that this was the right place, I looked at 5 other places. I immediately knew that it was going to be a good fit. The room sizes are great, my mother has a suite with a big bedroom, living space, and private bathroom. The food could use some improvement, there is a lack of variety and the food is not very fresh and or appetizing. My favorite part about the community would be the atmosphere, it has a non-institutional feel. I would recommend the facility without any hesitation.

Especially with the Covid-19 pandemic, they have done a great job protecting the residents. The staff is mostly pretty good. I have noticed especially during the middle of the day and after lunch, sometimes the residents are left in the activity room and are occasionally left with no staff to assist if something goes wrong. They do have activities available and have continued to during the Covid-19 pandemic and have been allowing residents to gather in small groups in the lunch room to take their meals.

My father recently moved on to the Memory Care unit of Blaire House about 4 months ago. My Step-mother, who had fallen and broken her hip, was living in a skilled nursing setting. The plan was to move her to the nursing care unit at Blaire House so that they could be closer together. From the time my father arrived, he was given warm and supportive care. His goal in life was to spend time with or talk to his wife. The staff did what they could to help him with whatever transportation we could set up, and to keep him engaged in activities as much as possible when he couldn’t be with her. Unfortunately, my Step-mother passed of co-vid before they could be reunited. It was a particularly difficult time for our family because we live in Canada and could not cross the border to be with him. It was at this point that we felt the caring support of the family-owned Blaire House encircle him. [Name removed] , the director, spent time with him, as did other staff. They had the obituary printed and framed for him. The morning of the service, Dad was agitated because he couldn’t find a tie to wear. [Name removed] arrived at his room with a tie for him. [Name removed] took the time to take him to the cemetery for the graveside service, and took some pictures so that Dad would remember that he had been there, and had participated by leaving flowers. Since we are not able to care for him ourselves in our homes, I could not imagine a better place for him to be. [Name removed], admissions officer, helped us to organize the move and get him settled. [Name removed], the director of nursing, has made us feel like part of a team working together to make Dad’s life as meaningful as possible. Communication is particularly well done at Blaire House. During this co-vid crisis, [Name removed] has been clear in his e-mails to family about the status of residents and staff. This has helped to alert us to the potential dangers but also to reassure us that they were doing everything in their power to keep everyone safe. The staff also have a Facebook page where they regularly (3-4 times a week?) post pictures of residents involved in special activities, or just in regular fun. I always make a point of checking to see if Dad is shown. There are two pictures in particular that I cherish because they show my Dad just being my Dad – smiling, waving, holding up a sign saying what he is thankful for. I should also mention that the physical surroundings are lovely. Dad is very content in his studio apartment. He can’t always remember what he’s had for dinner, but he always knows that he enjoyed it. In summary, I would heartily recommend Blaire House’s Memory Care unit for a family member who needs a safe and structured environment. I thank them for their care and concern for my father and my family.
