We have so much appreciation for the staff at Bayside Wellness. Megan and her team were attentive, compassionate, friendly and knowledgeable— we couldn’t have navigated dad’s final days without their loving care. No hesitation in recommending them to any family in need of hospice services. Our hearts are forever grateful to you!

The entire staff at Bayside Wellness is phenomenal! I cannot recommend them enough. Kitty is incredibly kind, caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable. She took excellent care of my dad (and me) at the end of his life. She continually communicated with me and did everything to keep him comfortable at all times. I will forever be grateful for her.

Bayside Wellness… especially Kitty our nurse, and Missy our CNA were absolutely Wonderful!! Full of compassion and love. I cannot say enough good about them. Considering the circumstances of needing hospice, it was a terrific experience. As a nurse myself, they corroborated well with me and explained and planned and listened to my concerns about my loved one. Their hugs were so needed and freely given. Not pushed… just offered and welcomed. To have Kitty there when my loved one took their last breath, was so meaningful. She gave us time and handled all the details. Missy even came to the memorial service. That meant so very much. God forbid I need to call upon hospice services again, I would definitely choose Bayside.

Can not express how professional, compassionate and caring the staff is at Bayside Wellness. The team was very supportive and informative. Very fast service in having a hospital bed and other medical equipment delivered the next day! 24 hour phone support when we needed it.
