Bay Oaks Historic Retirement Residence

Best food in Miami! Seriously, the food was great because it motivated my granny out of her room three times a day, made it supremely inviting to visit her, and her doctor says her health has improved dramatically in the year she has been there.

Best food in Miami! Seriously, the food was great because it motivated my granny out of her room three times a day, made it supremely inviting to visit her, and her doctor says her health has improved dramatically in the year she has been there. She is scoring higher on cognitive tests! The place is amazing. I like how easy it is for family and friends to visit and the staff is so accommodating - especially to Granny's specific and sometimes changing preferences and requests. I wish she enjoyed the gardens as much as my kids do. They love the butterfly garden and all the birds who visit the property. Bay Oaks is a special place and definitely where we plan to retire one day.

My mother will be moving into Bay Oaks. I would recommend this place. Most places could not take my mom because she wears a removable back brace, so this was the only one who would take her. We chose them because it's smaller; they had 26 residents. It's a very homey kind of feel. You feel...

My mother will be moving into Bay Oaks. I would recommend this place. Most places could not take my mom because she wears a removable back brace, so this was the only one who would take her. We chose them because it's smaller; they had 26 residents. It's a very homey kind of feel. You feel very comfortable. The rooms are private. They all have furniture in them, so you don't have to worry about anything. The director was fantastic. I hear the food is great. The rooms, the building, the apartments, and the landscaping are beautiful. It's like walking in a garden. It's absolutely beautiful. They don't have a lot of amenities, but they have someone to cut their hair and do their nails. They meet each person's needs very well. They have games with the whole community, like Scrabble. They watch movies together. It seems a very relaxing environment, which is why we chose this one. The director was very, very helpful and very informative. She gave us a tour, and even came to the hospital to meet my mother. She was very thorough.
