Review of Bay Lake Community
reviewed on: 10/21/2020 by Ellen YorkeThank you so much for the opportunity to see your facility- what friendly people! Thank you Wanda!
Nice place
reviewed on: 06/15/2016 by Pat O'RorkBuilding and grounds very nice, room size may be a little smaller than some but definitely adequate. Obvious the staff is caring and competent. My mother has been there about three weeks and is adjusting well, even though she has had a couple health issues unrelated to the facility. She enjoys the music activities and socializing with the other residents. I would (and have) recommend Bay Lake
