Renovations are done now and the place feels great. My interactions with the staff, including medical staff, have been super good. We love living here.

I liked everything about Bay Village of Sarasota. They only had apartments, and they had a pool. It was newly decorated and newly renovated, and it was very attractive. It would have been my second choice.

Horrible staff they don’t even know about the patient they are caring for no reports no follow through. Nursing assistant that does nothing. Beware never take your loved one here. This was by far the absolutely worst experience in a rehabilitation nursing facility I have ever been a witness to.

Be careful here. Lots of promo pictures and text. They seem more interested in fixing up the place than actual care. Currently everything is "staff shortages". The care and food have suffered. Ask questions.

Bay Village of Sarasota had beautiful apartments. They offered a range of activities and dining experiences that were very attractive for my parents. They're under renovation right now, but the dining area we saw was clean. The staff appeared to be very knowledgeable and kind, too.

I've been keeping an eye on Bay Village of Sarasota Inc for a decade. It's a beautiful place, the grounds are lovely, and the food is marvelous. I've been there for quite a few meals and just very, very nice food, well thought out, and well prepared. Lots of activities. Now they've got construction going on right now at the moment. But all that means is that they're just going to make a few floors better than ever. They have studios, one-bedroom, and two bedrooms. The staff is wonderful, really very cordial, and very helpful. They have concerts and lectures and performers. Movies, trips, social activities, lots of games, lots of bridge games, and lots of mahjong.

Bay Village of Sarasota is better than most places I went to. Their assisted living and independent living programs are terrific, but their skilled nursing set up is not good; it's not well-decorated or furnished, but I know they had a plan to rebuild it. It's 30 years old, and it looks older. The food is better than other places. They're among the best, but in some cases, they're not very good. They have wonderful events, theater productions, movies, and they go out a lot. It's a really advanced model of care. The assisted living and independent living are pretty much the same, they both share the same dining room, and in the independent living you can cook in your own kitchen if you want to, but most of the residents don't do that, they just spend an extra $400 and go down to the dining room. They do a good job. The staff there is better than other places.

Bay Village was my first choice, and I think they're the best place. I live in a large house, and I was worried about it being too small when I move in, but their apartments were fine and seemed adequate for us. I spoke to the staff and a few of the people who live there, and I was told that they had good food. I didn't like that it's painted pink, but it looks like the kind of place where I could meet new people.

Bay Village of Sarasota is very nice but expensive to get into. They provide transportation to my friend's church. It's a huge, pink building with a huge pool. You feel like you're in the Bahamas in this place. If you get a one-bedroom there, it costs $150,000 just to get in, plus you still have to pay a monthly fee. It's beautiful, and they have everything, like a huge library. When you walk in, you feel like you're in a resort. They have a tiki hut where they do cookouts on Fridays, all kinds of clubs and outings, a big room for theater, big gatherings, musical performances, and a big social calendar. Every floor has a party every week where everybody on that floor gets together. They also have a social area on each floor with a little kitchen and a beautiful view of the inter-coastal water way and the pool area. It has nature paths and trails and pond around it for those who are able. It has a game room, exercise room and classes. It's a very nice community. They have a little cafeteria area you could go to if you want to have an impromptu meal or snack. They also have a lovely dining room and a lot of parties, events, and gatherings.

Bay Village of Sarasota was a nine-story building with three wings. At the end of each wing on each floor was a sitting and viewing area. There was a very nice, formal dining room for dinner and a snack bar down by the pool where you can get the same menu as in the dining room, but you can be in casual dress. There was a tremendous library. We spoke with a couple of residents who were extremely happy. The person who assisted us was excellent.

My wife and I have been residents at Bay Village for over six years. We thank God for bringing us to this place. We love our apartment, the programs, the entertainment, the opportunities for service and for fellowship, the Bible study time and Vespers on Fridays, the caring staff and the giant pool. My wife broke her leg recently and needed full-time nursing care. She is getting excellent care and I can visit her several times a day because I am about one minute away in our apartment. Everybody I know here at Bay Village is pleased, even delighted to be living here.

Bay Village of Sarasota is absolutely beautiful. It had every amenity including a bank, a grocery store, a beauty salon, and a gift shop. When you walk in, it’s like you've walked into a rich place because it’s gorgeous. The lobby is beautiful. They had a resident volunteer in her 90s who has lived there for over 10 years who came down and gave us a tour; she was a doll. She showed us a couple of different units that were really nice. If it was a situation where I wanted to buy a unit for my mother, then I would definitely consider that place. They have a pool, a fitness center, a craft room with painting, and a doctor’s office. They have a huge verandah where they have live entertainment for the residents periodically. It was like being in a resort. They serve all meals.

We're going to Bay Village of Sarasota. We chose it because it's a continuing care facility. The staff had been very helpful. They had a variety -- studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom -- and we're going to start with independent living. They had a gym, a craft shop, a country store, card playing clubs, and a swimming pool.

My parents moved into Bay Village about 4 years ago. They are in an independent living apt. with a stunning view of Siesta Key. I can't say enough about Bay Village. The staff are lovely, the place is spotless. I've eaten in the dining room often and the food is good. There are plenty of activities: live performances, movies, bingo, bridge, exercise classes, ping pong, a computer room, plus a beautiful pool and hot tub. There is a library, a gift shop, a small grocery and a beauty salon on the premises. They have parties for Halloween, the Kentucky Derby etc. and my parents have made a number of friends. My dad still drives, but when he can no longer drive they have a shuttle to take residents to stores, doctors etc. I live in NYC and it gives me great peace of mind that my parents are in such a nice environment.

Excellent, highly regarded facility with service and community to match. My Mother has an Independent unit and is very happy, safe, and secure there and has made numerous friends and acquaintances. Gorgeous surroundings and grounds, with cheery, helpful staff and residents who truly care and take an interest in each other and their community. Both my Sisters family and I visit often, stay for dinner, and enjoy the facility. People move here to Live. Couldn't be more pleased.

Horrible place. Lazy care givers. Mother received bed sores after being sent to the hospital by their inadequate care. She also fell while under their care. She was wearing a fall risk band. If you don't like someone. P, then this is the place for them.

I thought Bay Village was very nice. It was calm; it was clean. Everyone seemed to be happy to be there. I mostly dealt with the sales person; she was quite fine. We had a meal there, and the server was very nice. Overall, quite a good impression. We did go see a room. It's fine, a little bit small. I would recommend it to somebody who's looking for it.

We visited the Bay Village of Sarasota assisted living facility while searching for a place for my friend's mother. The outside area was very nicely maintained. The grounds outside offer easy access for residents, where they can enjoy walking around freely safely each day. We could see that there is also plenty of space to have cookouts, parties and picnics. The foyer was fresh and bright with very nice decorations and furniture. All of the indoor rooms had plenty of air and light. The colors throughout the building were soothing and comfortable. The facility can accommodate all levels of ambulation. The private rooms featured plenty of space in nicely decorated surroundings. All had a great deal of natural light and fresh air with very comfortable furniture. Communal activity rooms were spacious, with comfortable furniture. The seniors can easily socialize, make crafts, play games, watch TV and films and participate in many stimulating activities. Seniors can use the exercise room at any time and also go on daily walks. Aerobics and yoga classes are offered and residents go on trips to visit the many art galleries and museums, eat at casual and fine restaurants and enjoy many other cultural events offered in the region. The dining room was quite nice, with plenty of space. The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus all had healthy food options for all kinds of diets. Healthy snacks are offered all day and into the evening, as well as whenever residents request them. The residents here looked very well cared for by kind and considerate staff and were very content in this homey living environment
