A New Era of Senior Living: Discover The Blake at Hamlin

September 6, 2024

Assisted Living and Memory Care in Horizon West

Set within the community-focused villages of Horizon West, The Blake at Hamlin introduces a vibrant new chapter in senior living. Whether you want a maintenance-free retirement, you need a helping hand with day-to-day living or you’re looking for professional memory care for a loved one, you'll find it at The Blake. There, they blend hospitality and personal attention with top-notch care, creating a home where you can feel relaxed, comfortable and secure. 

Merging Luxury with Lifestyle 

Upon walking into the lobby at The Blake, you are instantly transported to the golden age of hospitality. Each communal area blends modern aesthetics with functional design, creating a living environment that supports the comfort and needs of its residents. Areas for social gatherings, an on-site movie theater and beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces provide ample opportunities for leisure and recreation, reflecting the high standards of hospitality one would expect at a luxury resort.

As well as a variety of spacious suites, they offer active lifestyle programing that promotes emotional and physical wellbeing. From chef-prepared meals and daily housekeeping, to an on-site salon and game-room, The Blake fosters a sense of community engagement where every day is filled with opportunities for personal growth and connection.

Customized Care

Independent, assisted living and memory care residents each have unique needs. The Blake provides customized care plans with medical, physical and cognitive support designed by the resident, their family and professionals to enhance each resident's independence and quality of life.


Residents also have the benefits of professional physical therapists and modern, senior-specific equipment in their fully equipped, on-site therapy gym. Upon move-in, new residents go through a screening process to assess current fall risk, in-home safety and any muscular, neurological or cognitive declines. Assistance is provided in organizing and providing home adaptive strategies that set the resident up for success in their new home.


For those loved ones with Alzheimer’s or memory loss, their exclusive Walk With Me care program uses an interactive system called It’s Never Too Late which helps with sequencing and memory impairment. Daily activities are included to stimulate the five senses and all areas of the brain. This helps residents with memory loss to stay active in areas they feel most comfortable. 



Delicious Food Leads to a Delightful Life

Nowhere is their hospitality approach more evident than in their chef-created cuisine served with fresh flowers, real china and a smiling staff. The Blake works with the same suppliers of fine local restaurants to create thoughtful and well-balanced menus. The culinary team prioritizes brain-boosting foods, including nuts and fish, as well as beans, fruits and a wide array of vegetables to promote overall well-being and enhance cognitive abilities.


Once a month, the Chef invites the community to drop in for a Taste of the Blake. This themed event is free to the public and is an ideal time to stop by and familiarize yourself with their culinary delights. More information on community events is available below.
