The Blake at Waco

Thank you, Encompass and Home Instead, for partnering with us at our annual Pancakes for Parkinson’s breakfast fundraiser benefiting the Waco Parkinson’s Association.

Join us in welcoming our new Memory Care Director, Tina Farris ✨

Tina brings more than 30 years of nursing experience, including over 20 years dedicated to senior living and memory care, to The Blake. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management and is a licensed Assisted Living Manager. Tina is also an American Heart Association CPR Instructor and has earned multiple certifications in dementia care and training.

Inspired by her grandmother, she developed a passion for nursing at the age of 12 and has devoted her career to providing compassionate, resident-centered care. She is excited to join The Blake as the Memory Care Director and looks forward to supporting residents, families, and team members through excellence in memory care services.

Outside of work, Tina enjoys music, photography, and spending time with her family. She is thrilled to become part of The Blake team and contribute to its commitment to exceptional senior living.

We are excited to welcome you to our Blake family!

The results are in! 🏆 The Blake at Waco is the home of Waco's BEST MEMORY CARE community according to the 2026 "Best of Waco" survey results in Wacoan magazine. We are grateful for our amazing residents and families, dedicated care team and passionate leadership.
