About Baya Pointe Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

Baya Pointe Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 90-bed skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Lake City, Florida, serving patients who require rehabilitation and ongoing medical care.

Families describe a facility with attentive staff who make initial contact welcoming and professional. The cleanliness of the building is consistently noted as a strength. However, several reviewers raised operational concerns: rehabilitation patients were sometimes left waiting in wheelchairs for transfer assistance, and equipment shortages, including limited Hoyer lifts for patient transfers, have required staff to manage larger workloads. One family also reported missing personal items sent for facility laundering, citing concerns about accountability in belongings management.

With a 3.7 out of 5 star rating across 111 Google reviews, Baya Pointe reflects a mixed experience where hospitality and cleanliness are offset by questions about staffing adequacy and operational logistics during care transitions.

My mother was just admitted to Baya Pointe a transfer from another facility and everybody made me feel welcome. Reached out to make sure my mother was comfortable and if it’s anything she needed so far after two days I am happy with the results of this place.

While visiting a close friend today. It was noticed that the nurse to patient ratio needs to be addressed. It appeared that the rehab patients were just left in the wheelchair at the bedside by Physical therapy staff and were not able to get into the bed by themselves. Nursing staff and CNA's had only 1 Hoyer lift on the Ward to transfer patients back to bed. It takes 2 staff to move the patient and the Nurse Manager had to come from her office and assist the CNA moving my friend and his roommate to their beds. I'm a 25yr VA nurse and I understand about poor staffing and why nurse's and CNA'S leave the profession.

I Had trouble with the staff here at Baya Pointe Rehab, so I avoided having the facility wash my clothes for fear of retaliation, so what happens? My first time giving them my clothes to wash about a week ago, they're stolen, vanished, ...over $100 worth of mostly, if not all, brand new clothing...gone...just as expected. And yes, I had my name on them all, large print and very clearly written with a Sharpie. Room number 312. Guess it's time to reactivate the Facebook Page and post the complaint there as well. Unbelievable but not unexpected.
