BAY VILLAGE OF SARASOTA

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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. I had the honor of visiting today with my emotional support goat, Billy, and it was one of the most heartwarming experiences I’ve ever had. The residents were full of joy, laughter, and curiosity — most thought Billy was a dog at first and did a triple blink when they realized he was actually a goat! It was priceless. What made the day even more special was Virginia Johnson, the Activities Coordinator. She literally went door to door, gently knocking and saying, “Hey, you’ve got a visitor today — Billy the Goat!” The way she encouraged everyone to join in and made each person feel included was beautiful. You can tell she truly loves her residents and cares for them like family. The building was spotless, every room looked amazing, and every staff member I met — from the nurses to the CNAs and front desk — was welcoming, kind, and professional. If you’re ever faced with the hard decision of finding a place for your parents or loved ones, I would highly recommend Bay Village. After what I saw today, I would even be happy to be somewhere like this myself one day. It’s not just a senior community — it’s a home filled with heart, laughter, and real human connection. ❤️

Beautiful, classy elderly residence. The patients seem very happy, entertained, and cared for. We visited a friend and had lunch in the downstairs dining room. It was delicious. We're happy to think of our friend being in this place.

Serenity and Beauty. The water is calm and mesmerising with beautiful vistas wherever you look. Gorgeous sky meeting water and huge birds swooping and diving into the water. The water looks magical and it is so peaceful and inviting. Beauty and peace.

Best facility in town! ALF, Independent living, skilled nursing, and new Memory care unit. Well staffed and pleasant environment for residents and staff.

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, and replaced them with Bag Lady Lookalikes. My mother refused use them anymore, so we then had to go to outside services. She also felt the food has gone downhill quite a bit. There were plenty of other options, so we've moved on. They are LUCKY to get two stars.
