“Don’t fall for the Hotel-Like” atmosphere. As soon as you need medical care; run for the hills! One million dollars btw ! 🫣 I’ve had friends who could not wait to leave! Oh, lastly, all the monies go to “curb appeal” … not the wellbeing of residents. Shameful.

The director of nursing none of the other nurses are knowledgeable about supeapubic catheters! The staff was rude! My clients needs were not being met. I have never seen so many clueless nurses in my almost 30 years of being a Cna. I knew more than them. Also they did not listen to anything I told them about her medication and her regimen. Getting orders changed was impossible. I signed her out Monday she got her there on Thursday evening. Visit your loved ones advocate for them.

My client had 24/7 care while she was there because we couldn’t trust the staff to do their part. Also they charted she was showered and she absolutely was not.

This place is amazing. The staff and patients are great.

Terrific senior living

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Beautiful Place — Full of Heart and Compassion For anyone who can’t personally care for their loved ones anymore, I want you to know there are still places where love and compassion shine — and Bay Village of Sarasota is one of them. I had the honor of visiting today with my emotional support goat, Billy, and it was one of the most heartwarming experiences I’ve ever had. The residents were full of joy, laughter, and curiosity — most thought Billy was a dog at first and did a triple blink when they realized he was actually a goat! It was priceless. What made the day even more special was Virginia Johnson, the Activities Coordinator. She literally went door to door, gently knocking and saying, “Hey, you’ve got a visitor today — Billy the Goat!” The way she encouraged everyone to join in and made each person feel included was beautiful. You can tell she truly loves her residents and cares for them like family. The building was spotless, every room looked amazing, and every staff member I met — from the nurses to the CNAs and front desk — was welcoming, kind, and professional. If you’re ever faced with the hard decision of finding a place for your parents or loved ones, I would highly recommend Bay Village. After what I saw today, I would even be happy to be somewhere like this myself one day. It’s not just a senior community — it’s a home filled with heart, laughter, and real human connection. ❤️

Beautiful, classy elderly residence. The patients seem very happy, entertained, and cared for. We visited a friend and had lunch in the downstairs dining room. It was delicious. We're happy to think of our friend being in this place.

What a classy, all around beautiful environment for the people who reside there.

Best facility in town! ALF, Independent living, skilled nursing, and new Memory care unit. Well staffed and pleasant environment for residents and staff.
