At Bayshore Place Secure Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing, we recognize that each of our Residents has unique challenges that impact their life. However, we do not allow a Resident’s difficulties to define them, but instead we help them to achieve Daily Victories and imagine a bright future for themselves, in spite of personal obstacles. We call our caregivers “Companions,” and they are the cornerstone of our Residents’ experience.

They assist in bathing and dressing, serve all of the meals, and coordinate and participate in the many activities our Residents may choose. They know our Residents by name and have the flexibility to tailor daily life to the desires of each Resident.
At Bayshore Place, we have designed our community, our culture, and our approach to care around five key areas we call the Guideposts of Living: Design, Lifestyle, Medical & Therapeutic, Family Communication, and Staff Education & Training.
The Bayshore Place design creates a home environment for our Residents. Bayshore Place is located on the second floor of The Inn at Sarasota Bay Club. The first floor of the Inn is well known for its comprehensive Medicare Rehabilitation Services. This ensures that if Bayshore Residents have an episode that requires rehabilitation services they can get the required care without ever leaving the building.
Bayshore Place is also part of the Sarasota Bay Club campus overlooking Sarasota Bay, giving our Residents access to our beautiful campus grounds. Bayshore Place’s unique dual licensure provides 14 secure assisted living units surrounding a comfortable living room and access to two outdoor balconies. In addition, there are 15 skilled nursing units with their own living room ensuring that we can care for the needs of our Residents as their circumstances change. Our beautiful dining room allows our Residents to enjoy the great food in a lovely social environment.
Bayshore Place offers a high level of qualified staff to deal with the issues and needs of our Residents. Our Companions are either Certified Nursing Assistants, Medical Technicians, Licensed Practical Nurses, or Registered Nurses, and are able to relate to and work with our Residents based on their specific medical, cognitive, and social needs. Our Companions respond to our Resident’s opportunities and challenges by answering two simple questions: “What would Mom do?” and “Would I do this at my home?” The answer might be helping them get up in the morning, make them an afternoon snack, or help them get to an exercise class. Just like Mom, our Companions want to make each day great for those in their care. A typical day at Bayshore Place involves assisting each Resident get personally ready to enjoy the lifestyle. We work with our Residents so that they can determine the schedule that suits their personal lifestyle. Our dining program ensures that our Residents have the choices they need to dine as they are accustomed, selecting from a menu that includes daily specials and a wide selection of always available items... and the kitchen is always open for a between meal snack! A variety of events and activities occur on each individual floor throughout the day and are organized into a variety of “Bayshore Place Clubs.” These clubs range from exercise to games and crafts to entertainment and our Residents are welcome to participate or not. Our Companions are always there to assist and encourage them on their daily journey.
