I had an accident, I was in a diaper for 3 days develop bad cramping.. they wouldn't help me.. I was forced to call 911.. the police add rescues people took me to the hospital.. they did a CAT scan and found out I had a blockage.. the doctor said if I would have stayed I would have died.... I have bad memories of this place. Keep safe!!! And stay miles away from here....

My grandmother was recently at Blue Lake Post Acute for therapy. I would like to thank the therapy team (Karrie, Ian, and Howie) for always listening to her and making sure she was able to do the things needed so we could bring her back home. The nursing staff of Alana and her team had great patience and ensured that she got what she needed within a timely manner. I would recommend Blue Lake to anyone needing help getting back home! - Jamal

During my stay at this center staff has been very helpful and pleasant meals are excellent over all a welcoming atmosphere I give it 5 stars very compassionate people thank you all very much I appreciate everything everyone has done for me very empathetic to my situation and circumstances

Very convenient location. I don’t know anybody who’s ever used their services, but it is a great location.

Just an FYI , my sister has been here for a few months and every time I have visited her , the place has smelled nice and clean clients are well taking care of! My sister enjoys her meals so much that she asked for seconds! Praise God! My sister was malnourished upon arrival! So we are very grateful for the cook! Every one has been wonderful talking great care of our sister! Thanks to you all! God bless! ❤️

The food is the best I’ve had in a nursing home/hospital setting. The cook cares! She deserves a raise!! Everyone that has cared for me has been pleasant.

I went Sunday with my girlfriend to visit her mom. Majority of her clothes were missing, the hair products were missing, the shirt she had on wasn’t hers, her clothes that was there were damped and now they acting like they don’t know what happened to everything. It was very hot and humid in there. Everything has been documented by us and we are looking into pursuing legal action. This is unacceptable. We had her mom transferred to different facility 2 days later.
