To God Be All The Glory as our number one Healer Above All in the Name of Jesus Christ Amen. Bayside Care Center staff and entire team has provided excellent service with quality caring support as they took care of my mother from the very first day she was admitted to this health rehab facility to the very last day that she was discharged. The food is good too! Thank you everyone for the excellent service and quality care and support of my mother's healing and recovery from her heart attack and Open Heart BY Pass Surgery. We felt welcomed and any of our questions and concerns were answered right away. Great job!

Highly recommend this facility if you or a family member is in need of short term rehab or long term care. They got a new Administrator and DON last year and let me tell you, they are seriously committed to the facility and the residents. Both have taken the time to communicate with me 1 on 1 personally many times. The personal touch means a lot when we are in such scary times and with covid restrictions cannot always go in. I trust my aunt in Bayside's care and wouldn't want her anywhere else. Nurses are always extremely helpful when I call. All around I am satisfied.
