A facility that reminds you of home. Because it looks like a house with living rooms and dining rooms

The chef is awesome. The food is awesome. They are understaffed at times, but as I am told that is true of most places. I would personally drop by and visit weekly if not every few days. My sister and I did have a few favorite workers there that went above and beyond. The bathrooms smell awful. They need to make sure that the aids are doing activities. They do have a music man that comes in. That is awesome.... Read more

Very nice place

Upon my arrival to this community, I was greeted by friendly staff. Staff is very helpful and caring for the elderly. The facility inside looks amazing and very clean. Plenty of activities going on during the day. I would recommend Bayshore Guest Home to anyone who is looking for a place for their loved one.

The best place for mom??

I went to visit Nayshore after I had talked to Bayshore director [Name removed]. I walked into such a warm ,caring ,clean,environment . I realized that very moment that this was the place for my mother. The staff treats everyone like family. The almosphere reminds you of your own home. There are planned activities,crafts, cards and parties.

Bringing Mom Home :)

My family & I recently moved our Mom to Bayshore Guest Home & Gardens. Upon arriving with Mom we were all greeted with smiles from the friendly staff and residents. Its a very difficult decision to make, but we are so relieved that Mom is home with her new extended family. [name removed] and staff have been very caring, supportive & helpful during the "settling in" process. Its comforting to know that Mom is safe and is being cared for. God has Blessed Us all!

During Hurricane Irma, our elderly parents were taken care of at an elementary school evacuation site by personnel from Leslie Ann's Bayshore Guest Home and Gardens. We want to give them a huge thank you for the selfless care they provided which included adult diaper changes, assisting with medications, and fixing meals. We also want to give a shout out to [removed] with All Star Home Health and his staff for helping our parents get back in their home and attending to their immediate needs following Florida's state of emergency. In the hours of crisis, both senior living agencies' caregivers went above and beyond and we truly cannot say thank you enough.

Best Assisted Living Facility with Compassionate Care

Bayshore Guest Home and Gardens in Nokomis, Fl.There is no other place like Bay shore. The personal care given to residents is far superior then any other facility I know. My brother and I travel often and have always felt confident that our mom is getting the best of care. It is a home environment. The staff is very caring and always with a smile on their face. Leslie, who manages the facility, overlooks the facility and when needed she has filled in when they have been short of staff members. If you are looking for an Assisted Care Facility that truly cares about the residents this is the place to check out. Also the reason why the caregivers are so good is because they have been elsewhere and feel the working conditions are so much better at Bayshore. Leslie is always on top making sure she has the best staff for her residents.

Diamond in the Rough

I recently moved my mother into Bayshore from Atlanta, GA. I was very fearful and anxious because I did not know the area and based on other places I visited, I was left feeling a void. I am very pleased with the care, attention and love she is receiving at Bayshore, the staff and administrator are authentic. She receives physical therapy once a week. She has a once a month visit from the physician who is very attentive and responsive to her needs. Her physician also takes into consideration my concerns and thoughts. I could've asked for a better facility for my mom to be placed and if she needed hospice, that is also available. Great place, good job, great care. God bless you all.

A Blessing

Bayshore Guesthome and Garden has been a a blessing for my mom and I . Right from the first tour, the Guesthouse felt like a home not a facility . The administrator helped with all the moving in process. From filling out paper work, insurance , Doctor care and even emotional support. My mom has lived at Bayshore for almost a year and still getting all the same support as when we first arrived . The administration and all staff have my mom's best interest at heart. The staff is always upbeat and friendly . The Guesthouse is clean , organized and if you visit around meal time smelling good. It is always a pleasure to visit my mom at Bayshore.

Fantastic facility

OMG! I can't be more pleased to have my mother at Bayshore Guest & Home. The administrator Leslie and all of the staff there have been just excellent. Leslie informs me on of all of my mother's issues.etc. After reading a majority of the reviews at Bayshore Guest & Home, I have to input all of the fantastic reviews in my review. We are so thankful to have my mother at this facility. It was like a breath of fresh air to have my mother there. My brothers [removed names] and I are so thankful to have found this wonderful facility for our loving, caring and sweet mother. I guess I could go on and on, on how wonderful this facility is, but I'm not much of type writer. Kind regards, [Removed]

Temporarily Displaced

After Hurricane Irma my brother was placed at the Bayshore Guest Home as a "hospital rescue" to stay for a few days until he could return to his home. That was a lucky break for him as his home was damaged and he could not stay there. The few days extended to over a week. Leslie, the administrator, graciously permitted him to stay in this safe environment, with air conditioning and hot water, food and people to help him during this difficult period. I am certainly grateful that he was so well taken care of by the staff. Leslie and I spoke several times and she kindly offered me some suggestions on how to assist my brother going forward since I live in another part of the country. With thanks to all the staff at Bayshore.

We transferred my Mom to Bayshore and they immediately ordered all the necessary assessments that she needed,and found she needed more attention than the first place she was in, and they started the process the first day she was there, with all the great staff that would be involved. The Administrator was above great. I would highly recommend Bayshore to anyone! All the staff is very attentive and professional.

Wonderfully run facility. I own a home health agency and I am constantly in and out of facilities in the Sarasota/Venice area, and this place is top notch! Every time I visit I see happy well taken care of residents. I highly recommend Bayshore Gardens.

Top notch senior living community!!

Bayshore Guest Home and Gardens is truly top notch when it comes to great care! Leslie the Administrator is amazing. She puts her residents first in every situation and trains her staff well beyond what is required. Staffing ratios are always correct which cannot be said for many communities. I could recommend this Community to anyone and know they were getting the best in care.

Personal Review

It is my pleasure to review Bayshore from the medical perspective, as I personally care for patients at Leslie's facility. I have been continually impressed with the safety ,care and concern for every patient I watch in Bayshore. The facility is secure. The staff exceeds most sites in the community, not only with cleanliness, friendliness, and meal quality ,but with a smaller number of clients, allowing staff to routinely administer more personal and quick service. All working personnel are screened with interviews,background checks, drug screens, then are trained by Leslie personally. There is also a more holistic approach to your family member's care, one I appreciate as an osteopathic Physician. Your loved ones are safe here. Tony Montanaro Boarded Family Medicine

Working together though Irma

I want everyone to know that Bayshore Guest Homes and Gardens the BEST care center in Nokomis,FL. with the biggest heart . It is a home like atmosphere big living room,large dinning room,kitchen that has home cooked meals just like at home. The STAFF takes care of there clients just like they are there Mom's,Dad's,Grandma's and Grandpa's. ALL THE STAFF at Bayshore are 100% caring, understanding, polite, friendly, loving and very hard workers. The administrator and her staff did a 101% of GREAT CARE giving, keeping everyone safe as Hurraican Irma came to Nokomis,FL. I live in Indiana and my mother 99 years old lives at Bayshore. I was called and keep up to date on what was going on by the administrator, when they need to move to Brookside Shelter in Sarasota for two nights. Knowing that there was not any thing I could do but say a prayer that God take care of them all....Then I get a call again to tell me that all are OK and my Mom was happy to see her bed. Every one was thankfully that everyone was safe and back home again. I want to say THANK YOU to each of the STAFF and the ADMINISTRATOR for all the HARD WORK keeping all of them safe. That was because all the hard work by the great staff...that works together wonderfully. PLEASE tell the STAFF GREAT JOB for going up and above....That to me means they really do CARE and LOVE each of there clients. God Bless You All

As a third party provider I have been to Bayshore Guest Home for the last seven years. The staff is friendly and kind and the Administrator is meticulous about her residents care and maintaining a high level of care. I know she is in frequent contact with Physicians and third party providers as well as families to ensure optimal care...Kudos Leslie and hope there will be more facilities like this one...

I toured the facility with the administrator Leslie and though I am not ready for the move of my husband of 65 years, i know that this is where he will be...She knew all about his condition and medications and will assist in helping us navigate medicare assistance regardless of if he moves there...The home was clean and all the workers very attentive...May move in myself if living alone is too difficult for me...I am glad I visited and my son was impressed.

Home sweet home

I am writing this review in honor of my mother who lived happy and safe at Bayshore until her passing. She would want me to say how much she and our family so much appreciated the warm and caring love that she received. From my initial tour and sit down conversation with Leslie Ann I know right then and there that Bayshore was the perfect home for mom and for us. Leslie Ann made ABSOLUTE sure that ALL my mother's needs were taken care of right up until her final breath and that our family could rest assure she would be taken care of with respect and love......and she was!!! The staff is exceptionally kind, understanding and very polite. The food and home cleanliness was perfect. Thank you all at Bayshore Guest Home for making my mothers life so much more happier then if she had lived in a "facility" where she was lost in the crowd.
