Do not bring loved one here. Borderline criminal. Everything from bruises on my father in law to handing us all his meds in a garbage bag and dumping him out front when we finally were able to have him medically transferred. Agreed on $4k a month. Knew he had dementia when we brought him. Knew he was not going to get better. Raised price to $8k. Not to mention the complete lack of organization from intake to removal.

My mother has had dementia for the last 10 years. Prior to finding placement in Bayshore she had 2 stints in rehab, a broken hip, multiple UTIs and was loosing weight.
Leslie Anne and the folks at Bayshore have been fabulous with my mom since her placement about 6 months ago. She seems happy and is well cared for.
I’ve seen first hand how poorly some AL facilities treat their staff and residents. Every staff member that I have encountered at Bayshore seems genuinely caring and concerned for the residents and my mom.
Before Bayshore, I was always scared to be too far away and would worry the entire time that I was out of town. Since she’s been at Bayshore, I don’t worry so much about her. I know that she is well taken care of and that if anything we’re to happen Leslie Anne would be on top of it immediately.Her and Monica have the experience and deep compassion that is needed to oversee and provide a good environment for my Mom and our loved ones. Thank Goodness we found them and that we were lucky enough to be able to get Mom in there.
Thanks Y’all!

Mimi has been at Bayshore for the past year. We explored 5 or 6 other options before deciding on Bayshore. She came from a large facility that could not provide for her higher level care any longer because they were understaffed and overworked. Those huge facilities look pretty but the fact is the care is rigid and chaotic.

At Bayshore, the situation is the opposite. The place feels like a home setting, peaceful and personal. Spencer, who recently took over the administrator role is a 10/10. He is kind and compassionate, hard working and relates well to everyone. The staff there are patient and thoughtful and give excellent care.

To top it off, the cooks fix these homemade ,nutritious, diverse 3 course dishes that are better than most restaurants. We couldn't be happier with the care she is getting from Spencer and his team.

This is the third care facility for my sister who has early onset dementia at age 71. As her cognition declined, her needs outstripped the previous facilities' capacities. We are thrilled and grateful that she is now under the watchful and caring eye of Leslie Ann O'Gorman and the wonderful staff at Bayshore. I live on the other side of the country and rest easy knowing that my sister is surrounded by people that not only monitor her physically, but keep her engaged and content. Their professional care here is more than matched by the compassion and dignity they bestow on residents. It is also the only facility I've seen prioritize their meals with a healthy, organic diet that supports cognition - true memory care!

Bayshore Guest Homes and Gardens has been a haven for my mother and our family. I found Bayshore through A Place For Mom. They suggested Bayshore and two other places that could fit her needs. My wife and I visited their suggestions and Bayshore was the best place for my mom, hands down. Over the past two years I have visited mom at all hours of the day and evening and I have always been pleased with the staff and the living conditions of the residents. I often find staff doing tender and loving things with the residents as if they were their own family member. I know that my mom is safe, clean and well taken care of and she is living in a home setting that is warm and caring. Leslie Ann is the administrator and I respect and appreciate her management style. Our family trust her without question because of our individual experiences with her, the staff and the residents. She is a "no nonsense" person when it comes to the treatment and care of the people in her charge. The primary objective at Bayshore is the care and dignity of the family members we leave to be cared for by the staff. It is a home atmosphere from the moment you walk in and experience the smell of fresh food being prepared for the residents. I've eaten with my mother several times and it's real home cooking, not the usual institutional type of food. I will also tell you that I have gotten medical updates on my mother's health on a regular basis after the visiting doctor and nurse made their exam of her. Bayshore has received several awards for their exemplary care and administration of their duties on behalf of the residents. They are a model that many other ALF should follow. I sleep well at night knowing that my mom is sleeping well too. That is piece of mind. Thank you Bayshore .

After enduring poor care for our Mother at two other local assisted living facilities, we were extremely fortunate to find Bayshore Guest Home and Gardens. The staff that we worked with were very caring and attentive to the residents' needs. Leslie Ann, the administrator, is a true saint, and I am grateful to have her in my life. The facility is clean and well-maintained, and the home cooked meals are second to none. Residents are bathed daily and meticulously groomed. The ratio of staff to residents is also superior to that at most facilities. I wholeheartedly recommend Bayshore Guest Home and Gardens to anyone in the position of needing quality care for a loved one.

Bayshore has been a saving grace for my Mother and myself. Leslie Ann went out of her way many times to help us out with details of moving to assisted living, to medical advise , and emotional support. She insists on high quality in her staff . Because of this I always feel very comfortable while I am at Bayshore and comfortable when I leave knowing my Mother is safe and in a caring home.

My mother nearly died while living alone in a mobile home in Northport, FL. After a critical hospital stay and time in a rehab center, we found Bayshore Guest Home & Gardens. The medical staff and the staff doctor got my mother's medical conditions into a manageable state. Mom has been there for around four years now. She recognizes that she is in safe place and well taken care of. We have called and visited Bayshore many times and found the staff to be wonderful. We also have regular telephone updates from the administrator. It is obvious to us that the administrator and the daily staff care about each of the residents. It is a wonderful feeling to know that your parent is loved by the people taking care of her every day.
