I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to you and your entire team for the wonderful care you provide my mother.

It means so much to me—and to our entire family—to know that she is not only safe, but that she is surrounded by people who treat her with genuine kindness, patience, and compassion. Seeing her happy and at ease gave me such peace of mind. Living with Alzheimer’s brings many challenges, and knowing that she is in a place where she is respected, nurtured, and well cared for makes all the difference. Thank you for all that you do each and every day. It truly does not go unnoticed.
My brother moved to Baytree Lakeside. The facility is an older building. It needs work. He has a private room and he is on Medicaid. It's not huge, but it's his own room by himself. He likes it because it's quiet. The food is good and the staff is very nice. He even went to play bingo, which he'd never done before. So he went on some social things which we were surprised at. The staff seemed very friendly and very caring, understanding of any problems, and they got them solved. The facility appears to be very clean.

My brother moved to Baytree Lakeside. The facility is an older building. It needs work. He has a private room and he is on Medicaid. It's not huge, but it's his own room by himself. He likes it because it's quiet. The food is good and the staff is very nice. He even went to play bingo, which he'd never done before. So he went on some social things which we were surprised at. The staff seemed very friendly and very caring, understanding of any problems, and they got them solved. The facility appears to be very clean. We did see people singing and somebody playing a musical instrument. They went outside when there was a parade going by one time. They have activities two or three times a month.
My first time using respite care for my elderly mother. Sandy, Jessica and the entire staff are fantastic. My mother was well taken care of, well fed, assisted with anything she needed, and more than anything, entertained. I'm so happy to have found a place where she's safe and well cared for if I need to go away. Thank you so much to everybody at Baytree Lakeside, you guys rock!

Baytree Lakeside is fabulous. The nursing staff and the management are very attentive. They helped me move in. They took their own vans and employees, pickup trucks, and moved all my furniture, put me in my room, and got me over here. I'm very content right here. They have a beautiful walking path. There are lots of trees and they are beautifully landscaped. I do a long circle walk in the woods outside and there's a lake surrounding the place. I can't fish there because there are fences up, but I usually fish elsewhere anyway, closer to the beach, which is not too far away. People say the food is OK. The facility is very good. I have a housekeeper come in every day and mop the floor and make sure that everything is clean and the bathroom is clean. They kind of leave you alone for a while when you first get here to get settled in. So, I have not partaken in any activities yet, but they have a bulletin board and when I walk through the main activity room, it's always full of residents doing different things. I also know they had a magic show yesterday with a magician. It's a very good value.
Although the company that owns the ALF also owns other facilities, it's administration always finds time to accommodate the special needs of its residents regardless of how busy they are. You always get the attention you need.
Jessica and staff are kind and compassionate and really get to know their residents and empower them. They go out of their way to make each person feel special and it shows. Highly recommend Baytree for your assisted living needs.
I don’t do many reviews because I haven’t had many places or people to rave about or give great opinions about. I’m a retired business professional and have been enjoying my time here at Baytree Lakside. I volunteered to come here to take care of some personal issues with my family and my mind. Their loving staff is very attentive and have gone beyond meeting my every expectations and needs.
This facility is always decorated for the holidays! Baytree has a beautiful court yard with a nature path to the lake.
