I was frequently there with my mom for breakfast and lunch and my brother for dinner. The food left a lot to be desired. I would rate it a 2 - and that might be generous. We ended up bringing in outside food for her several times a week.\n\n\nThe care takers are very professional, helpful, and pleasant. My mom was in the memory care unit so we had to be buzzed in. I don't think she knew that she was locked in. The apartments are nice and we tried to make it feel like home to her by bringing things from her house in Mississippi.\n\nI would recommend Bay Port to anyone who is looking for a safe place for their family member. My mom was very unhappy to be there, but her dementia had reached the point where she couldn't be left alone. Since I live in Niceville and my brother lives in Ft Walton Beach, it was much more convenient than leaving her in a facility in Mississippi. We probably should have done it sooner, but it was a very difficult decision to make.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Friendly staff","reviewContent":"What has really stood out to us and what we really like most about the Bayport of Fort Walton Beach community is he overall friendliness of the staff. We would recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Recommended","reviewContent":"My mom is currently a resident at Bayport of Fort Walton Beach and the experience has been great. Everyone is really friendly at this facility. The housekeeping is good. I would recommend Bayport of Fort Walton Beach to others.","reviewerDisplayName":"Stephanie","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Certainly Recommend","reviewContent":"The staff genuinely seem to care about the residents and the families.\n\nThe only issue we've had is with medications being filled. It is much easier on the facility to use Guardian - the pharmacy they contract with for meds. However, Guardian is expensive compared to other pharmacies and if the facility needs / can't easily locate a med (even if it is there but is in the \"extra\" bin) they simply order more from Guardian. If that new order is not within the parameters for the insurance, the full price gets charged. It is much cheaper for the family to manage the scripts and take them to Bayport. Also, if scripts are mailed to the resident and that resident has memory issues, the med may sit in the mailbox for weeks without the med tech knowing it has arrived. Worse, the resident may toss the script. Thus, I've found that is more time consuming but in the end it is much better to manage the scripts myself, pick them up from the retail pharmacy, and deliver to Bayport myself.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Review for Bayport of Fort Walton Beach ","reviewContent":"I would totally recommend bayport to others. 99% of the staff are amazing - super patient and caring. Right now they are in the midst of some major staffing changes (the director and the head of nursing services) and you wouldn't know it. My mom is getting the same level of care. I can't imagine life without these care givers.","reviewerDisplayName":"KW","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Super Kind & Considerate","reviewContent":"[name removed] is a super person! She helped me through not only the initial process of bringing my mother to as assisted living facility, navigating many obstacles, but has also helped us past the challenging hurdles of my mother's major change in life. Thank you. \nP.S. All the staff is also kind and patient.","reviewerDisplayName":"Joan G","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Our Experience","reviewContent":"The facility is clean and beautifully decorated. The one room unit has the feel of an efficiency apartment in the way it is designed, instead of a single bedroom with bath. The food is nicely prepared and presented. Maintenance does a super job of addressing any issue and keeping things in working order. Staff seems over busy at times, but that may be true everywhere. Residents are treated respectfully. Move in process was smooth, but I had plenty of family to help. This facility is very close to my home which is a huge plus and in my opinion should be a big factor when choosing a place for your loved ones. It is so convenient to frequently pop in and check on mom. For our needs, Bayport is working out beautifully for my family.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Wonderful, caring place for my mom","reviewContent":"Bay Port is a unique upscale assisted living facility that has been wonderful having my mom living there. The Director, [name removed] and staff has welcomed my mom and made my family feel at ease because the facility is clean, organized and operates with their resident’s dignity and well being 1st class.\nTheir nursing staff especially [name removed] is the sweetest and takes such great care of my mom, she’s delightful, Thank you Bay Port.","reviewerDisplayName":"Donna Conklin","experienceTypeId":6,"experienceTypeName":"Other"},{"reviewTitle":"The most fun, loving, assisted living community on the Emerald Coast ","reviewContent":"We picked this community because it is clean, and the staff is very friendly. They offer many daily activities.","reviewerDisplayName":"S Watson","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Our Experience","reviewContent":"My mother is a resident at Bayport of Fort Walton Beach. The staff is very approachable, friendly, and professional. The housekeepers are wonderful! They have such a good attitude. I have found the staff at Bay Port to be willing to discuss my mother any time I am there. When Covid was diagnosed in some of the residents, they quickly got the word out to us along with the procedures they were implementing. The move in was a breeze. We were able to move in all the furniture and belongings while my mother was still in a rehab facility. So when she arrived, they rolled out the red carpet (literally) and made her feel welcome. It took my mother several weeks to settle in. And I think she still may not fully understand that she is there for the rest of her life. But the staff goes out of their way to support her. They even recommended a behavioral health nurse to help mom settle in.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"}],"parentOrgReview":{"name":"SRI Management, LLC","slug":"sri-management-llc-1385823","averageReviewScoreDisplay":8.7,"communityCount":48,"reviewCount":1115}},"communityName":"Bayport of Fort Walton Beach","leadgenCompleted":false}
