Community Reviews
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

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.
