My husband is a new resident in Memory Care at Baylake. We experienced something very special today. They provided a wonderful Thanksgiving meal to my husband and our family. The food was delicious and the staff were beyond kind.

All the staff at Bay Lake have been wonderful with my mother. She had some heath issues that made her entry into assisted living challenging. Bay Lake was helpful and attentive and took care of all of her needs. She is doing great and loving it there.

We moved my aunt into Bay Lake one year ago and it was the best decision we've made. It is a beautiful clean environment with a caring staff that went out of their way to make my aunt feel welcome and at home. . The food and dining room crew are excellent. Everyone is very friendly and the environment is upbeat and positive. She has adjusted very well and we feel good knowing she is well taken care of 24 /7. We love visiting her here because we feel like family and are always welcomed with hugs and smiles.

I was able to attend the Bay Lake Retirement open house last month. The facility is absolutely beautiful and in such an incredible location - blocks from the bay. As soon as I entered the community I was greeted with a smile. Everyone I met at the open house was so warm and welcoming. I learned about all of the free events open to the public and was blown away by how many community oriented the residence is. Pets are welcome and they even have dog walkers. The grounds are gorgeous. Definitely take a tour!

WOW! Cannot say enough about this assisted living community. I was extremely hesitant putting my mother in any assisted living facility, but Bay Lake made the decision so easy to make after our first tour. It is absolutely beautiful, well-kept, and my mom is SO happy here. My heart is happy knowing that she is in good hands. I cannot recommend Bay Lake more!
