Taste of the Blake was such a fun and memorable event with our residents and their families! ๐ŸŒธโœจ The dining room was beautifully transformed into a garden, bringing โ€œThe Secret Gardenโ€ theme to life. From the dรฉcor to the delicious gourmet meal cooked by Chef Adam and team, it was truly a magical experience for everyone who attended. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŒฑ

It's with great excitement we say a big warm "Welcome Back," to Haley Gardner as our Assistant Executive Director of The Blake at Waco ๐ŸŽ‰

No stranger to The Blake, Haley played a great role in Waco's community opening as our Sales Director and continued to successfully lead our sales efforts for 4 years. She built many memorable relationships with our residents, creating a connection from the beginning and a continued place of trust throughout their journey. Excited to be back "home" at The Blake, Haley finds this opportunity especially meaningful.

"Senior living isnโ€™t just my careerโ€”itโ€™s truly my passion. With 8 years of experience, I can confidently say that the residents are my why.

There is something incredibly rewarding about walking alongside families during this season of life. I love being able to support, guide, and serve as a resource for seniors in the Waco community. One of the most fulfilling parts of what I do is seeing residents who were once hesitant to move in begin to improve in their health, build connections, and truly thrive.

I believe there is so much life, purpose, and quality in senior livingโ€”and Iโ€™m honored to be a part of it every single day."

Congratulations, Haley! We are proud of you and we are looking forward to seeing your continued success!

Join us in welcoming Melissa Talley to The Blake family ๐ŸŽ‰

Melissa is our Director of Memory Care here at The Blake. Born in California, she has lived in several states before settling in Central Texas. She earned her bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Baylor University, then her associate degree in nursing from McLennan Community College, and her MBA from Texas A&M.

With over twenty years of healthcare experience, Melissa has worked in a variety of specialty fields from women and children's health to chronic care. In her free time, she spends a great deal of time in the stands of soccer and baseball fields. Outside of that, she enjoys working in her workshop, building or fixing things, or somewhere by the water.

We are excited to welcome you to the team, Melissa!

Our people are at the heart of what we do and we are proud to celebrate another promotion ๐ŸŽ‰

Congratulations to Bayleigh Cobb for being named the new Director of Wellness!

From small town Reagan, TX, Bayleigh earned her associate degree from McLennan Community College before going back and obtaining her LVN certificate. She joined our Blake family as a charge nurse a little over nine months ago and has been a rockstar since day one.

Expressing her excitement for her new role, Bayleigh said, "My favorite part about the industry is the friends we make along the way and how much of a difference each person makes in a resident or family members' life. Learning their preferences and schedules allows me to step into this role with ease knowing that I already have a wonderful connection with each individual. Finding comfort in the fact that it feels like home is something that I truly enjoy."

Away from work, you will find her spending most of her time with her family, reading a good book or occasionally farming alongside her father in their farming/ranching operation in Central Texas.

We are looking forward to seeing Bayleigh's continued success!
