Junior, the activities director, is a sweet and vibrant person! He will always greet you with a warm smile and fun conversation. I guarantee you will leave every interaction grinning ear to ear. He's not only a friendly face, but incredible at his job. You can tell all the residents absolutely adore him! I know I can also go to him for help or to point me in the right direction. Thanks, Junior! You're awesome and Bay Towers is lucky to have you! - Cece

Salvador was a great host. He showed me two model apartments and also the facilities around the building. He had a wonderful attitude, kind person.

Bay Towers is a high rise apartment building with full services for seniors. Overall it is a good place for those needing assistance and coping with aging. I could live there comfortably. My big problem, which is a deal killer for me, is the single elevator serving all the residents. It is slow, making the highly frustrating waiting for the elevator a regular event. Worse is it being out of service. That leaves the stairs as the only option. That single point failure is unacceptable.

Who is in charge there? 7 years ago, my wife and I were looking for an independent living faculty for my mother in law. We were very impressed with Bay Towers at that time. Fast forward a few years and I'm looking for a similar place for myself... So I look into the same place I was so impressed with. My experience has been nothing but frustrating. I stopped by because the sign says "come in for a tour". I do, but there's no one to assist. Apparently there is only one "Salesperson" (Geraldine). She doesn't answer the phone when the front desk calls her. I leave a handwritten note and I'm given her card. Things can happen, maybe it was just mislaid. A few days later, I call the number and leave a voicemail. No harm, no foul at this point. Nearly a month goes by with no response. So I contact the website requesting information. I'm expecting that I'll be contacted the next business day. Nope. Several days later I finally get call from Geraldine. I don't go into my frustrations at that point, figuring that I'll finally get the information I'm needing. She clearly hasn't read the email I'd written. I explain it all for the third time. We talk options, she needs to look into what's available and what's coming available. She'll promised tocall me back that afternoon, "either way". Her promise, her words, not mine. After a week of hearing nothing, I crossed them off my list. Clearly not the organization I remember. Not worth it to try and educate them, I'll just move on. The sole reason I'm now writing this review? I got a call this morning from Geraldine that was so disrespectful and unprofessional that it's frankly stunning. My career is entirely customer service and sales focused, with over 3 decades of management of sales/marketing. I've seen some doozies. She had no notes from our previous conversations. She had no memory of me at all. She offered a completely patronizing and insincere apology. It was condescending, insulting, and felt like gaslighting. So now I'm furious, and need to let people know about her behavior. If I'm being treated this poorly during the"sales pitch", I can't trust that it's going to be better when I'm needing assistance. Sadly, there is no way to speak with anyone else. No way to identify or contact whoever might correct the situation. So again: Who's in charge over there? It's this your business model now?
