The Blake at Biloxi provides two principal levels of care: Assisted Living and Memory Care. Assisted Living residents receive help with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, all supervised by licensed nursing staff available around the clock. The Memory Care program serves individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia in a secured environment designed to reduce confusion and wandering while supporting cognitive function. Both care levels include routine health monitoring, coordination with outside physicians, and rapid response to medical emergencies through an internal call-system linked to on-site personnel trained in first aid and CPR.
Beyond the basic care levels, the community offers regular wellness assessments, fall-prevention strategies, on-site physical and occupational therapy sessions by arrangement, and scheduled transport to local medical appointments. Pharmacy services, laboratory work, and imaging can be coordinated so residents avoid unnecessary trips off-site. Families have access to care conferences where progress, medication changes, and health goals are reviewed. Staff members receive continuing education in geriatric best practices, infection control, and dementia-specific communication techniques, aiming to keep interventions consistent with current standards of care.
Residences range from studios to two-bedroom apartments, each laid out with step-free entry, bathroom grab bars, and emergency pull cords. Some units include kitchenettes, private patios, walk-in closets, or in-suite laundry, but not all accommodations have all these features. Housekeeping and maintenance are provided on a scheduled basis, and basic utilities, cable, and Wi-Fi are bundled with the monthly fee. The property is pet-friendly, allowing small household animals after a review of vaccination records and temperament. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Meals are prepared in a central kitchen and served three times daily in a restaurant-style dining room, with alternative entrées available at each seating. Menus are developed by a dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines and can be modified for diabetic, low-sodium, or mechanical-soft diets. Snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day, and memory care residents eat in a separate dining space that minimizes overstimulation while providing visual cues and cueing assistance. Family members may reserve a private dining room for gatherings, and room-service trays are offered during short-term illness or post-hospital recovery.
