Bayshire Carlsbad - Carlsbad, California

Four Seasons Flowers

Bayshire has been amazing with my mom! My mom is a positive and independent woman who opened up our flower shop in 1974, 50 years ago. She built the flower shop from the ground up, she was amazing. She now is in her twilight years and needing more assistance. It is not easy for her to accept help with day to day activities. The community and staff at Bayshire have been invaluable to us and to our mother. They care, love and help with her care everyday. We wouldn’t be able to provide the level of care she needed and this is why she moved to Bayshire. We recommend to anyone that Bayshire is the answer to help care for your aging parents in a dignified and respectful way. Thank you to the staff at Bayshire for your love and care everyday!!!

My father spent seven weeks at Bayshire Carlsbad. After breaking his hip and undergoing surgery at TriCity Hospital, he was lucky enough to be sent to Bayshire. The building is very impressive and clean. The people providing care are fantastic. The physical therapists worked so gently and carefully. My father recovered very quickly for his age of 90. The doctors, nurses, and CNAs are heroes. I can't believe that such a place exists! Truly a home away from home. Everyone there deserves medals of honor. From the cooking staff to the cleaning crew, everyone gives 100%. The food smells so good and looks delicious. As I stated earlier, the place is so clean and beautiful. I was sad to say goodbye; I had made many friends, from the patients to the hardworking people there!

My father has been at Bayshire for the past 5 years and over that time the wonderful staff has become his second family. I live close by so I am there often and am always greeted with a warm welcome. ALL of the front desk staff are so friendly and kind to visitors and the residents.
Olah the Activity Director is amazing. He has actually been able to convince my dad to do more activities than he ever did at his previous facility. Olah also goes above and beyond to plan fabulous events for residents and their families to enjoy.
My father has needed additional level of care recently. I am truly grateful to the Medical Staff especially Ariana and Pam for their guidance whenever I have a question. Ariana and Pam keep me informed and have made sure his caregivers are checking on him regularly.
It's a blessing to be able to leave your loved one in a place where you know they are being well taken care of and their family loves visiting them!!!

My Aunt has made her home in Bayshire for almost a year.
She is so happy and very well cared for!

I have always had a wonderful and pleasant experience with all the staff at Bayshire.

I am grateful I found this home for her. It can't get any better than this!

I am so grateful for their caring and loving staff.

I would like to recommend this assisted living facility to anyone who is looking for a safe, clean and caring place . We moved both my parents into Brookdale Carlsbad in 2015, after touring several facilities in the area. After our first visit with Deanna Meier (who was so great and easy to talk to), we were impressed with the caring staff, great food, and warm feeling of community. I can easily say my parents’ life changed for the better after they moved in.They began right away eating three meals in the dining room and making friends. Everyone at Brookdale was so helpful in getting them settled and involved, with the right balance of attention while still allowing them to have autonomy. My mom was 92 and my dad 87. My husband and I live in Montana so we were especially worried about the care they would receive. The staff kept in constant contact with us about their medication, activities, and health concerns. We visited my folks several times as did other family members. We were all treated with kindness and courtesy. Overall, the care we witnessed for my folks and other residents was good. Sasha Hightower, the director was always available for us and called us directly on several occasions regarding questions we had or suggestions on ways to make my mom and dad more comfortable. After several months there my dad was moved to the memory care unit, so that they could assist him more and keep a closer watch on him. The staff made this transition as easy as possible for my dad. Ana Briones, the memory care Manager was especially helpful to us and made such a great effort to keep my dad happy and comfortable, which was not always easy. My dad passed away in Jan.2017, and the staff once again was so helpful in his last days, (even checking on him at the hospital).

My mom enjoyed several activities at the home. She also got her hair done weekly in the on site salon, and loved to visit with the office staff. She enjoyed the daily snacks and treating guests to a meal in the dinning room.We were able to coordinate a birthday party for her 94th birthday a week after my dad died, and the kitchen and wait staff took special care to make it a wonderful celebration. My mom passed away in June of 2017. Because we had hospice in place (she had had a series of strokes 5 weeks earlier, ), she was able to pass away peacefully in her room. The nursing staff and aides were so sweet with her and helpful to us during the week she was dying.

We also had caregivers for my mom from Golden Care in Carlsbad who came in two or three times a week during her entire time at Brookdale to help my mom with correspondence and small tasks, and just to be a friend and companion. I feel like this was a key ingredient in helping her to thrive at Brookdale, and would highly recommend this company. They were able to provide the “extra” companionship my mom needed.

The staff at Brookdale was great, from Michael the Driver, Oula the Activities Director, Sasha the Director, to Henry in the dining room, and Ivy in Nursing, to Doris at the front desk, as well as all the other great aides, med techs and office staff that work there, and I feel like there is real concern from the top down to make all of the residents feel at home, and to work hard to ensure that they are well cared for. While there were some things that fell between the cracks here and there with communication, and we had some issues with my mom’s care in skilled nursing there, we know that overall Brookdale was a good fit for my parents and we are so thankful that they got to spend their last years in such a nice facility with people who cared for them in such a loving and kind way.

Since I have been here I have been treated with kindness and respect. Everyone have been helpful and knowledgeable. The environment is clean and cheerful. I especially like doing the activities with the activity director Cilcilia. We have a great time making flowers and playing games. It makes the time go faster and helps to focus on other things other than yourself. Thank you to all the staff.

The healthcare providers are incredibly kind and patient. They take such good care of the reaidents. It would be nice if, in memory care, clothes were labeled or separated, so that residents are only wearing their own clothes and not other peoples clothing.

I'm very fortunate to be able to go there. Why! Excellent helpful/professional trained staff that help me recover from my serious shoulder replacement. And most of all the excellent entertainment and music provided by Cecilia in dinning area.
