The Blake at Charlottesville sits at 250 Nichols Court in Charlottesville, VA, and offers assisted living and memory care with a focus on comfort and support, with families running things to make sure residents feel cared for, and you can see that in the details, with two landscaped courtyards full of lush greenery, a putting green, walking paths for outdoor relaxation, and tranquil spots where people can sit and talk or walk alone, and you'll find spacious outdoor patios with comfortable seating, dining tables, and big arched windows for scenic views that make everyday life feel a little brighter. The apartments come with walk-in closets, pantries for storage, and high ten-foot ceilings with traditional millwork, giving a roomy feeling, and there are 118 apartments with over 100,000 square feet of living and community areas, so no one feels crowded.
Residents get three homestyle meals each day served in an elegant dining room lined with large windows and white linen tables, and there's also a bistro-style area with cafe tables, a coffee bar, and lots of natural light, plus a private dining room for special events, meaning there's always a place to enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee with friends or family. The community holds a full calendar of activities, including outings, guest lectures, and curated social programs so folks can stay as active as they want, and there are amenities like putting greens, a Piano Bar, Grand Lobby, Upstairs Balcony, Family Room, and more, all in a space that values Virginia's history and traditions.
Wellness is a main focus, with a state-of-the-art fitness center featuring parallel bars, a recumbent bike, and fitness classes, and there's a beauty salon and barber shop with modern styling stations, comfortable chairs, and plenty of natural light for anyone needing beauty services or a haircut. The Blake offers memory care for seniors living with Alzheimer's and similar conditions, with quiet environments and specialized therapies that help reduce confusion and prevent wandering, while assisted living services support activities like bathing, dressing, and managing medication, and every resident gets an individualized care plan that can change with their needs over time.
Common areas have soft seating, tables for games and activities, and a full kitchen for when people want to gather and socialize, while the community also has a library and business center with built-in bookshelves, computer workstations, and comfortable spaces to work or read, plus a movie theater with white armchairs for enjoying films together. People can bring their pets, take part in daily activities, join fitness classes, or just relax on the balcony, and if they need help, services like 24-hour staffing, transportation, weekly housekeeping, laundry facilities on every floor, and light housekeeping are available. The staff treat everyone like family and there's a clear commitment to personal care, whether someone needs help getting around or just wants a friendly chat, and the design of the place-with over 100,000 square feet of space, arched windows, and resort-style hospitality-makes it feel like home, not an institution.
