I spent a year looking at assisted living places for Mom and Dad. My friend, who is an RN that worked with elderly patients and families for 35 years, recommended I look into Bayfield. My parents have been there for four months, and we couldn't be happier. The staff is attentive and kind, the meals are enjoyable and healthy, and my parents like eating meals with their new friends and engaging in activities. The staff respond quickly to any questions or concerns I have. My Mom and Dad were isolating in their previous senior apartment and are not as social as other residents, but they are always encouraged to join in, and they participate at a level where they feel comfortable. Many of the caregiving responsibilities have been lifted from my shoulders. It's great to simply visit and help them enjoy their remaining years.

My Dad had care in his home and then transitioned to Assisted Living at a different facility for the past year. I cannot stress how important it is to trust your gut instincts when your loved one has dementia. Things were going downhill quickly at his facility and excuses for sub optimal care were mounting. That’s when I reached out to Bayfield.. EVERY staff member from the beginning of my inquiry to move in day was so caring and professional. Previously Dad would sit in his room and was not really encouraged to join the rare activities his previous facility had. BAYFIELD changed that! From day one the staff has encouraged my Dad to join each of the 3-4 DAILY ACTIVITIES… a plethora of opportunity for my Dad to be engaged and meet people and build bonds in his COMMUNITY! The smile on my Dad's face, the laughter, the pure joy of watching him interact is priceless! The staff genuinely care about their residents health, safety, nutrition, and emotional wellbeing. HIGHLY recommend!

Provider Response

Hi Julie, We are so happy to read your review! Thank you for highlighting our amazing team and community on being dedicated to your dad's care. We love having him in the community.

My mom was there once before for a few months when she broke her leg. She received physical therapy and was able to come home. She recently started falling and we knew she couldn’t be home by herself. I called Bayfield and spoke with Sue on a Saturday when she was off. She said I’ll meet you there this morning and she did. Mom was brought back in that same day. I don’t know what I would have done if not for Bayfield. They keep their residents busy all day long which is exactly what mom needs to keep her mind going , she is very happy there. The staff is awesome. The rooms are nice and clean. Her laundry is done timely. The food is great. She couldn’t be in a better place.

My wife is a resident of bayfield assisted living. She has a very nice apartment that is of good size and layout is great for her because she is in a wheelchair. The staff are very good and kind to her and helpful. She has made many friends since she has been there and loves to do a lot of the games and activities that they have. She likes the entertainers that come in also. She is much happier and active at bayfield then other assisted living facilities she had been in. Bayfield has been a very good choice for me because they've been very helpful with questions that I have and assisting be with them.

Care for my Mom and Dad has been been very good. The people that check and care for them has been very good. They have activities to do and Communion too. I do wish they would clean carpet in there room being they tend to spill alot being older.

I can’t say enough good things about Bayfield! My moms room is awesome. The staff is all so nice, so helpful, patient, kind. They have made my moms stay here the best it could be. She’s comfortable and they tend to all her needs. My mom can not walk so she is pretty much dependent on them for many things and they are there with smiles and kind words. My mom is not big on activities, which are many, the staff is encouraging her to participate and she is starting to come out more and more! Bayfield has been a Godsend to my mom and I. The other assisted living she was at doesn’t compare to Bayfield! I have zero stress or worry about her being there. I have the peace of mind to know she is in the best hands possible. I visit almost everyday so I have a good handle on the day to day life at Bayfield and couldn’t be happier!

Bayfield, and the staff of Bayfield have enfolded my mother into the family of care for the past 2 years. She is valued and cared-for and I can say that I feel valued as well. I am thankful for the good and compassionate care that Mom receives, and for the opportunity to see that for myself each day. My mother's smile says it all.

Initially it was a difficult transition for my mother since she had lived on her own for over 92 years. It became apparent that she needed more supervision and socialization so we chose Bayfield as her new home. The residents were kind and welcomed her in and told her that they were now a part of her family. The staff were kind and helpful and accommodating for mom. This was toward the end of the pandemic and so extreme precautions were still being applied but overall the staff was very flexible with my mom's needs and the needs of our family. At the end we brought hospice in and they were also wonderful for my mother. Thank you bayfield for your special TLC.

When we brought Mom to Bayfield she was a 2 person assist. Everyone has been so helpful and pleasant to be around. The staff listened and helped my Mom. They are very caring. Her room is good size and kept clean. They took the time to engage my Mom in their activities.

Our journey began in December when our 93 year old mother fell. Fortunately, she wasn’t injured but was hospitalized and treated for a UTI and then spent time in rehab. It was obvious that she would no longer be able to live on her own again and so we began to research assisted living facilities. After many interviews, we decided that Bayfields was the best fit for our mother. The services and finances were thoroughly explained. No surprises. It is a beautiful building with several common areas and a lovely, inviting dining area. Meals are varied, delicious and nutritious with options at each meal. They offer different room configurations for the needs of the residents that can be decorated as desired. We are also impressed with the cleanliness of all the spaces and with no unpleasant odors. More activities are offered than any of the other places we looked at. Bingo and games almost daily, educational programs, crafts and celebrations. Musical entertainment is brought in. There’s a beauty salon and the ladies get manicures. A Podiatrist takes care of any foot problems. Most importantly, though, is the staff. Each person is dedicated to the welfare and comfort of our mother. They are all so friendly and respectful in her care. In fact, I think they have gone above and beyond in looking after Mom. They are also very kind to our family allowing us to spend as much time as we want with her. This has been a very difficult time for Mom and our family and we have no doubts that Bayfields was the best choice for Mom.

My tour of Bayfield Assisted Living and Memory Care was thorough. Everything was very, very nice. The place was first class. The staff I met there were very caring and competent. There was a church service taking place. Their competence and dedication to the care of the individuals stood out to me.

My mother resides at Bayfield Assisted Living & Memory Care. It actually is family and they invited her in as a family. She's well cared for. She's safe. The staff is excellent. She's very satisfied with the food. The cook even came to visit my mother the first couple of weeks she was there to talk about her likes or dislikes or what her system can handle and that was very welcoming. The facility is excellent. They certainly like bingo. There's arts and crafts. They have a chair exercise and chair volleyball. They had a paint by number the other day, they have concerts, music, and every holiday, they have a party. We've been to the Halloween party. They have a monthly birthday gathering. Since COVID, they have a nondenominational religious service, but they had resumed Catholic communion and a prayer service. They have a beautician on campus, which is a real plus for the women population. They have a wide variety of activities. If a person can't do one thing, they can do another. My mother has vision challenges, but there are fellow residents there to help her, so she still can participate. My mother says, "No complaints." I sensed that Bayfield is a family community and why wouldn't we want our family member who we want safe and cared for to be at a place where it's family?

Putting you parents into assisted living is rarely a positive experience. But I am thankful to the staff at Bayfield for being there for our family throughout the process. Their staff have really made my parents feel welcome, despite their resistance to initially moving in. I’m able to reach my folks or a member of the staff for any updates I need and would recommend considering Bayfield for assisted living needs.

My sister is a resident at Bayfield Assisted Living. She has many issues, both physical and mental, but has accepted the residents and workers as her extended family. They give her a reason to look forward to another day with arts and crafts, games, and exercise. Most importantly, to me, is the food and cleanliness of her environment. The staff has treated me and my family well, answering our questions and listening to our thoughts and suggestions. It is a safe place for her to live.

The apartments are very nice and spacious. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Obviously, the most important thing for my family is the care our mother receives. With that thought in mind, even during the many months that families couldn't visit due to the Virus and the caregivers workload was triple-fold...Bayfield met the challenge with flying colors. They were the only AL facility that the virus didn't take control of. That in itself says how diligent they are in caring for each individual resident. That being said, our mother suffered noticeable cognitive decline during those months. She has just moved from a large 1 bedroom apartment to a studio. Way smaller, but just as nice...and honestly all she really needs at this point. And the CARE is still A#1.

Bayfield is a beautiful, clean, spacious facility. It feels light and welcoming with large windows, open areas and cheery colors. The physical building really couldn't be better. We entered during Covid times, so our experience has run through the extremes. During the shutdown we depended fully on the Executive Director as our boots on the ground. Any time we had a concern with Mom's physical or emotional well-being, we had to rely on staff and communicate through them. It felt so intrusive, but they always reacted with patience and empathy. They were angels during a scary and hopeless time. As with most healthcare jobs, Covid has changed the landscape. There has been a lot of turnover in staff and it seems that they have been short-staffed at times. But this is the case everywhere. The staff is friendly, they care for the residents and I would recommend Bayfield to anyone. They also react very quickly to anything you bring to their attention.

Mom has resided at Bayfield Assisted Living for over seven years. We know that Mom is safe and well taken care of. The care she has received has been amazing. The staff is caring and professional. They interact with the residents in a compassionate manner. Mom looks forward to the caregivers coming in to take care of her. She enjoys talking with them and thinks of them as family. We have a good relationship with the staff. They keeps of advised of any issues that may arise. There are activities and social events that all are able to participate in. The facility is great. We looked around at several other facilities, but none compared to Bayfield. It feels like home to both Mom and us.

We have a family member that currently resides here. I really can't say anything bad about this facility. The price for care is comparable and even slightly better than other facilities in the area. I have been helped with every situation that has popped up in the last year. They have managed the place well even in the middle of the pandemic and we were assisted by every means possible to keep the communication going with our loved one. Our needs have been met and I feel that my parent is being cared for in a loving manner. We have had to navigate some choppy waters but all in all things have turned out in better ways than expected.

My father was a resident at Bayfield for about 7 years. The caregivers not only gave him great care, but also developed relationships with him that he cherished. When talking with him he would often refer to his caregivers as his "buddies." The social interaction that Bayfield provided him was so good for his health and well-being. We never had to worry about his welfare, because we trusted that he would always be well cared for at Bayfield!

I'm not real happy with Bayfield Assisted Living and Memory Care. My mother's bathroom floor was sticky because of dried up urine on the floor. They had no housecleaner so they were giving it to the maintenance man to do, but he wasn't doing it. They also lost all my mom's socks. It's a nice and very clean facility, but they don't do their job correctly. Her room is nice, has a walk-in closet, her own bathroom, and a big window so you can look outside. I have to supply her shampoos and deodorants. They have no batteries for her hearing aids and no denture tablets. It's a pretty place, but they have issues. She's paying way too much for what she's getting there. They don't even check her hearing aid batteries.
