When my daughter and son-in-law drove me in to Blakehurst Retirement Community in Towson, I was so impressed with the manicured landscape and the beautiful building. I was even more impressed when I walked through the doors of Blakehurst and met all the friendly staff and residents. I thought to myself, "Even my mother would love this place, and she was very particular!" But, the best part of it all was when my daughter called me the next morning after my first night at Blakehurst and told me she had had the best night's sleep she had had since "Daddy" died because she knew I was safe. I have lived here for 3 years and I have met so many friends through all the great scheduled activities we have. From the first day I walked into the dining room, the residents were so warm and welcoming to me. Also, Blakehurst has allowed my spiritual life to be maintained by providing Bible study, Blakehurst church services and transportation to different churches. Lastly, I cannot leave out how professional and friendly the staff at Blakehurst is. It blows my mind that the wait staff can remember all of our names, and they always remember exactly what beverage we all drink. I just love it here!
