Im am apologizing to my family to have chosen this building. The chain of authority is missing several key links (EMPTHY CONCERN LOYALTY HONESTY SELF RESPECT SELF REPORTING BY LAW NEVER PLACING IT PEOPLE STAFF AND OR RESIDENTS) in dangerous situations. Never contact family or resident with medical and COVID-19 issues. I truly apologize for placing extra stress and worry in your life.

I would not hesitate to send my residents at Ocean Meadow to this facility! The team is very tenured and friendly. Convenient geographical location as well. Clean and bright.

I am so very pleased to say that the care my husband had during his stay at Bayview was excellent. Always with a smile, friendily and very helpful. I would always recommend Bayview. The Social Worker; Mary Molish who was so helpful, the receptionist; Marion, Karen; from admissions, the PT's ; the OT's , the nurses, the aids, the laundry personnel to the cleaning staff, and oh, the kitchen, who put out such good food. If you didn"t like something, they would make something else.

Nothing you say is comforting and the lies you have posted are just that! I have seen your negligence with my own two eyes. Not just for my Mother but many other eldery residents. You are under staffed for the amount of patients you reside with special needs. The State should investigate your staffing issues and the care you promise you do not provide.
Social Media is the best place to be so that loved ones are not placed in your facility to receive the unfair treatment my Mother received and the many more that are there now get justice for your lack

When I arrived she was sitting at a table in the dining room alone (it was lunchtime). She needs to be fed, however, there was no aid helping her. Her clothes were filthy and her pants were wet. I could not find anyone to speak to about my sisters condition. I could only find someone from housekeeping washing the dining room floor. I feel that Bayview is under staffed and unable to provide the care that the patients on the locked down floor need and deserve. These patients are someones
