The Blake at Charlottesville offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to receive the level of daily support that matches their needs. Within these care types, the staff can coordinate diabetes management, arrange doctor consultations on-site, and provide access to speech therapy. Short-term respite stays are available for individuals recovering from illness or surgery or for families needing temporary coverage, ensuring the same medical oversight and therapy options enjoyed by long-term residents.
Additional clinical resources are built into the community’s daily routine. The campus is secured for residents who may be at risk of wandering, and nurses oversee medication management, incontinence care, and hospice coordination. Physical, occupational, and ambulatory therapies can be scheduled without leaving the property, while podiatry and massage therapy services are available on a rotating basis. Around-the-clock staffing keeps a close watch on changes in health status and communicates promptly with families and physicians.
Apartments are air-conditioned and handicap accessible, and several layouts include kitchenettes, balconies, patios, or decks. Wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, and cable or satellite TV connections are standard, while select residences offer views of the central fireplace or immediate access to outdoor areas. Because floor plans vary, prospective residents should confirm which specific features—such as a piano nook, private parking spot, or terrace—are included in the suite they choose.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef, with restaurant-style service running throughout the day so residents can dine on their own schedule. Menu options include vegetarian dishes, international cuisine, and selections tailored to low-sodium needs. Guests may join friends or family members for meals, and staff monitor nutritional intake for residents who require specialized diets or assistance at the table.
Residents have access to an activity center, indoor and outdoor walking paths, yoga and chair-yoga classes, and a swimming pool for low-impact exercise. The community schedules Montessori-based cognitive programs, reminiscence and sensory sessions, live music events, socials such as happy hour, karaoke, dances, and birthday celebrations. A library and computer lounge, raised garden beds, clubs, and community outings round out the calendar while fitness programs support individual health goals.
