Community Reviews
Very Pleased with this place
reviewed on: 04/28/2015 by AnonymousI am very pleased with this place. It is very clean. The people are professional and caring. This is a place that I would want to go if i had to lived in an assisted living facility. I would recommend this community. My overall rating of this property is 4 stars. I can't rate the activities because my loved one did not participate in them. I would highly recommend the Bay Lake Retirement Community.

Truly caring staff who go above and beyond
reviewed on: 12/01/2020 by Nancy R.The staff at Baylake are wonderful! They take great care of my Dad and always keep me informed of how he is doing. Nothing is too much to ask and they are always patient and kind even when it's a stressful time. My Dad was hospitalized overnight while I was out of town and they took care of my Dad's dog - his best friend- until he returned. They are truly the best and have made my life so much easier as I am not always worried about my Dad being alone or taking care of himself. Having him move and become part of the Baylake family was the best decision we made.
Awesome facility!
reviewed on: 05/14/2020 by BartWhen we were looking for a new permanent home for my Mom, we reviewed many facilities. Once my Mother visited Baylake she immediately said “this is where I want to be!” Many factors contributed to her excitement, but mostly the friendliness and professionalism of the staff won her over. She also loved the decor and the many activities that are offered at Baylake. We also enjoyed a couple of delicious meals at Baylake before making our final decision. My Mom has now been at Baylake for seven months and she is absolutely convinced that she made the right decision. She continuously tells me how friendly and courteous the staff continues to be. Everyone there truly takes terrific care of my Mother. She loves them all. Having a doctor on site is also very comforting and reassuring to our whole family. My Mom and the rest of us are also very impressed with the “special” events/functions that Baylake creates for the residents such as the Thanksgiving meal, the special holiday get together and the Mothers Day parade. Our entire family wholeheartedly agrees that we made the absolute best choice for our Mother and she is the number one cheerleader!
Bay Lake Tour
reviewed on: 10/15/2019 by Ernest BrownI toured Bay Lake for my grandmother. The staff was very friendly and the community was extremely clean! During our tour all of the team members were friendly and welcomed us. My grandmother also got a chance to speak to some of the residents who were very happy their. We ate lunch at the end of the tour and the menu options were amazing! I was pleasantly surprised to see the restaurant style menu and all of the choices. Bay Lake is on the top of our list and we were truly impressed with the professionalism and services offered.
