We are very happy with Bailey Pointe Assisted Living! This has been a wonderful new home for my mother-in-law. We were very worried that she would have trouble adjusting from living in her own home to apartment living, but she adjusted very well and is very happy. She enjoys all her new friends. The staff has been very supportive and helpful, making her feel very welcome. Thank you Bailey Pointe staff!

This place is wonderful! The fact that it is smaller makes it feel more comfortable. You'll not find a more loving and caring staff. The facility is clean and well kept. They helped make the transition for us as uncomplicated and easy as possible. I can't express my appreciation enough to the Administration and staff. I'm thankful!

Our Aunt lives at Bailey Point and every time we come for a visit, she mentions how much she likes it and what a great decision to move there. The staff show such affection and respect for the residents and always eager to make sure they have what they need. We are happy because she is happy.

The experience was lovely. The lady didn't take too long and she got us going on a tour. We were there probably for about 45 minutes before dinner time. We saw a couple of units and we saw the library, the kitchen, and some other spaces, too. They have a lot to offer there. They have a garden. It is a lovely facility, and it is tucked behind houses and villas where it is nice, safe, secure, and quiet. There are lots of trees out of the windows, and it is very close to the hospital, which is important. You can travel, which I like, and when you travel, they have a special room that you can use. She showed us the kind of room that we would have if we were traveling. In the studio apartment, she showed us a little kitchenette, a bed, a bath, and a closet. She also showed us an apartment that was available at the time, which was really nice. They're are also pet friendly, and they have a hot tub, too.
