The Blake at Edgewater

Somerby Edgewater is an AMAZING facility, run by a PHENOMENAL Executive Director (Yvette) and TEAM , and I am so happy I found them. From day one when I walked in the door for my tour, I was greeted by a smiling Concierge (Jenna) and my name was posted on a nice frame upom entering the building which let me know that they were looking forward to meeting me. The entire staff was more than compassionate, professional, accomodating,, loving. and kind...AND, I knew right away that Somerby Edgewater was my dad's new home within their Memory Care wing. This facility is VERY CLEAN with NO SMELL, NICELY decorated, and the residents rooms are spacious, modern, and clean. The leasing and move in process was smooth and easy thanks to Lejla (Sales Director) and Ernestine (Wellness Director), and when I tell you the entire staff rolled out the red carpet to receive my dad on his official move in day on the 28th of May, that is an UNDERSTATEMENT!! My dad's welcome was OVERWHELMINGLY WARM AND HEARTFELT!!! The caregivers are compassionate and truly CARE, The culinary staff (Jazz & Paul) are WONDERFUL...they prepare delicious and nutritious meals for the residents and accommodate all types of dietary needs. Mercedes,(Memory Care Director) is very caring, kind, and on point, making sure her residents and their families are comfortable and well taken care of. This is my dad's third Memory Care facility since relocating to the Carolinas in January 2025, and hands down, I know that this is THE BEST facility for him because the staff at Somerby Edgewater truly LOVES and CARES about their residents!! It's like we moved my dad from Motel 6 to the RITZ CARLTON!!🤣🤣🤣 If you are looking for an assisted living facility for your loved one...LOOK NO FURTHER....SOMERBY EDGEWATER IS THE PLACE TO BE!! THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE SOMERBY EDGEWATER STAFF FOR ALL THAT YOU DO, and for allowing my dad and our family to be a part of your wonderful community!!

After an extensive search for a memory care community, my wife and I selected the renowned Lilac Trace Memory Care approach at Somerby Edgewater for her mom. Sales and Marketing Director Lejla Dotson guided us through the process with commpassion and understanding that made the move seamless. Wellness Director Ernestine Jackson worked closely with my wife to ensure all her mom's medical needs were addressed prior to arrival. Executive Director Yvette Pearson has selected a staff that provides compassionate support and a safe, structured, and engaging environment. Our interactions with the directors and staff during each visit whether during the week, weekends, or holidays have been consistently impressive. The staff is highly visible and interacting with the residents, the food and snacks are catered to the residents individual likes, the cleanliness of the community and the rooms is apparent of the dedicated work and pride that goes into the community. In summary, if a loved one needs the special care that you truly desire and expect, then this is the community you should visit and tour! Russ Olsen

We had the opportunity to work with Lejla Dotson while exploring options for my dad, and I truly cannot say enough good things about her. From the very beginning, Lejla was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. She took the time to answer all of our questions and made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and even comforting. Somerby Edgewater is a beautiful community, and we felt confident in our decision to place my dad there. Much of that peace came from the trust and connection Lejla helped build with us. Unfortunately, his Alzheimer’s progressed quickly, and he developed Lewy body dementia, so he was never able to make the move. We are so grateful for her compassion and guidance during such an important time. She is truly a gift to the families she serves.

As a senior care resource in our community, I've had the opportunity to spend time at Somerby Edgewater and have been impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the caring staff. The team is friendly, attentive, and works hard to create an engaging environment where residents can stay active, connected, and supported. It's clear they are committed to helping seniors enjoy a high quality of life, and I would encourage families exploring senior living options to include Somerby Edgewater in their search.
