BayView Senior Assisted Living

BayView has been home to a past patient of mine for some time now and every time I visit I notice how much the staff cares for him, and how much he cares for them. I’ve traveled to several care facilities throughout San Diego working as a home health physical therapist, and Bay View definitely stands out as a place where the staff and management really care for the patients. Knowing how bad and depressing other care facilities can be, it’s nice to finally see my patients able to go to a home that feeds, entertains, and allows it’s members to live out their lives instead of playing a waiting game of depressed routine day to day. The new management seems to have taken a ton of pride in the building and facility, but is in the industry for the right reason, providing exceptional care to seniors. It has been great to see the changes around there, and I so appreciate the care they provide in such an important time in my patient’s life. Keep up the good work BayView Senior!

This assisted living center is wonderful and my grandmother loves it here. The view is beautiful, the residence is kept immaculate, and the care givers are all incredible with the seniors. The new management has turned Bayview into a magnificent place for my loved one and I’m sure it would be great for yours. Would recommend to anyone!

Bayview is a relatively new business that recently experienced a change in ownership. This says a lot about a business, since you can tell they are doing everything in their power to improve the conditions and services.
In the past year, I have noticed that they have been remodeling this place, and improving the ambiance. My aunt was placed in the care of Bayview under Lupe, and was very appreciative of how they tended to her. She was very happy with everyone there. Everyone was always so friendly and attentive. They were also very patient.
I understand where others might have complaints, but in my personal experience, I have noticed that they have been working hard to improve this space after previous management left in bad shape.
My aunt is at home now; however, if we decide to place her in a senior assistance home again, we will definitely place her back at Bayview. She made friends, she was well taken care of, loved and happy. What else can I ask for?

Our mother stayed here for about a year and a half. She ended up dying here in hospice care. There was never any fresh fruit or food visible in the kitchen and none of the patients had water or drinks except at mealtime. There are no tables to put drinks on in the TV room where the patients are most of the time. Our mother was always pale from no exposure to sunshine and she was often thirsty when we visited. Her skin was always severely dry and her feet and toenails were not attended to until we complained. Elderly patients should not have to endure pain or infection in their feet or toenails or skin because of neglect. Our Mom was never actually fitted for a wheelchair and she died holding a dirty rag in her hand because Bayview never made sure she was fitted for a soft type of «brace» or glove — as she began to hold her hand in a claw like fashion. Fresh flowers donated from local stores like Trader Joes were picked over by the staff and put into or on top of staff cars and the rest were left to die outside until tossed in the trash. Weren’t these meant for the old folks? We never saw any of those in the public rooms or the patient’s private rooms for them to enjoy.
Because our mother had Alzheimer’s– she couldn’t remember anything to tell us about it but we noticed. The meals that we saw being prepared were mostly out of a can. The director — Shay Wicline had her mother there as «the cook» — a clear case of nepotism. And we never saw the supposed «cleaning crew».When we asked how often they came — the answer was — oh they’re here all the time.
We as a family truly regret that we put our Mother here. We are writing this because
we are heartbroken that we didn’t get this right. Hopefully this review will help others.
