Key Review Excerpts

A Truly Beautiful Place — Full of Heart and Compassion. For anyone who can’t personally care for their loved ones anymore, I want you to know there are still places where love and compassion shine — and Bay Village of Sarasota is one of them.

Visitor · 2025★★★★★

The director of nursing none of the other nurses are knowledgeable about supeapubic catheters! The staff was rude! My clients needs were not being met.

CNA/Caregiver for a client · 2026☆☆☆☆

Started out ok last year, but went quickly downhill the last 6 months or so. Just moved Mom out to a nicer place where the ameneties are nicer. This place got rid of the wonderful massage therapist and also the professional hairdressers
