Welcome to Blakehurst, a continuing care retirement community community located in Towson, Maryland. Blakehurst also offers other services at this location including assisted living and nursing home.

Blakehurst: Anything But Ordinary

One of the many things that make Blakehurst special is that everything seniors need is under one roof. A post office, a juice bar and a beauty salon are just steps from seniors' doors. A heated indoor pool and jacuzzi are on-site, too, plus a fully equipped fitness center, an aerobics and yoga studio, a woodworking shop and an art studio. When seniors want to see a movie, they can gather in the community cinema; if they want to work on their short games, they can hit the well-manicured putting greens. And, if they're in the mood for games with friends, there's a ping pong table, a croquet court and a billiards table. These spaces host daily activities, from exercise classes and painting workshops to live concerts and happy hour socials. 

Even with everything there is to see and do at Blakehurst, seniors spend time outside the community, going to new restaurants, finding deals at local shops and visiting attractions. Residents love the firefighting history at the Fire Museum of Maryland, the events at Towson University and strolls around Riderwood Hills Park.

Blakehurst: A True Continuum of Care

Blakehurst offers a full continuum of care, from independent living and assisted living to memory care and skilled nursing. It's all part of LifeCare, a comprehensive program that lets seniors lock in prices for care they may need in the future and ensure they can afford top-level services as they age in place. 

As they age gracefully, older adults enjoy lovely apartment homes with modern, open designs, bright spaces, elegant cabinetry, wood-look flooring and upscale options like quartz countertops, walk-in showers with glass enclosures and in-unit washer/dryers. Pets are welcome (even big dogs) and there's even a dog park for exercise with furry friends. There are no chores, either — housekeeping, laundry, maintenance and meals (at several dining venues) are included in the monthly price. 

If Blakehurst's resort-style amenities, beautiful residences and comprehensive care options sound like the perfect fit, we can help you take the next step. Please chat with our team to ask a question, arrange a personal tour and see prices.

Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a lot of praise, particularly for its beautiful campus, high-quality apartments, and delicious food. Reviewers consistently highlight the kindness, engagement, and caring nature of the staff, making it clear that the employees are considered a significant asset to the living experience of the residents. Many have expressed satisfaction with the overall service and hospitality offered, emphasizing how welcoming both the staff and other residents are. The amenities, such as the fitness center with its unique exercise classes, restaurant, and café, have also been well-received. Prospective residents and visitors often note the clean, well-maintained, and upscale environment, alongside the variety of activities available and the community's focus on customer service.
However, a few negative points were mentioned. One reviewer, who is a frequent visitor, raised concerns about the decline in food quality over time, suggesting that it has become inedible and has led some residents to cook their own meals. This same reviewer also criticized the community's COVID-19 policies regarding visitor restrictions as being too harsh and not logically consistent, particularly in relation to residents leaving and re-entering the community. Another point of dissatisfaction came from a former employee who described their work experience as the worst of their life, which they attributed to issues within the security department and management. Despite these criticisms, many reviews reflect a positive and satisfying experience with the community, with specific commendations for the staff's dedication and the appealing living environment.
