Baytree Lakeside

Reviewer#ET0811

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.

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.

I had an in-person tour of Baytree Lakeside. It was nice. They have an activities manager that provides them with a lot of things to do. It's a locked facility. They kept memory care and assisted living people together, so they weren't separated. So I thought that was nice. The rooms were not as big as the other facility, but they're a decent size. I just met with one person, and she was nice. It seemed homey and comfortable. The residents seemed nice and happy.

My brother is in Baytree Lakeside. We picked it because it's close by and it's affordable. So far, it's satisfactory. They feed them in the morning. They have two different times for breakfast and two different times for lunch. They have a smoking area outside, and he goes to that. He spends most of his time outside and he seems satisfied so far with it. He's happy here. He is a heavy smoker and sometimes he runs out of cigarettes, but they don't check with him to see if he needs any cigarettes. He's not always offered cigarettes when he's out of cigarettes, and he doesn't know enough to ask for them, so he ends up bumming them. Other than that, I don't see any real problems over there. I'd like to see fans outside so that they could keep cool, because they're spending most of their day outside. There are no fans anywhere. Other than that, it's good. I know they have bingo and other board games, but he is not interested in that. He just sits outside to smoke. Price is reasonable. It's a lot cheaper than a lot of other places.

This facility has really changed in just a years time. My grandmother has been there for 9 months and the staff has changed their is a caring dedicated staff it's immaculately clean and the courtyard is beautiful. My grandmother says they take very good care of her. She loves it there. Keep up the good work.
