REVIEWS

My husband was in rehab and then became a resident at Bayshore Pointe for almost 2 years. The commitment to his care by dedicated staff was so appreciated as he thrived daily at Bayshore Pointe. The facility offers a beautiful garden area and provides daily activities that were creative and enjoyable. Themed and holiday celebrations were fun and well attended. I am truly grateful to his doctors, nurses, cnas, speech and physical therapists, administrators and front desk personnel for their care , guidance and friendship during his stay. I truly recommend Bayshore Pointe for families looking to place their love ones for short or long term stays.
