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.... Read more

My father is very well taken care of by all the staff members. He mentioned being happy there and not needing anything. The sales director is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. She is an asset to this institution. Keep her happy.

I visit weekly and I am always greeted with smiles and kind words about my mother. When I voice concerns, they respond. The staff treats my mother like family.

We first moved our mom into memory care at Bayport. She proved to be too empathic for that level of hectic. Now that she is in assisted living it is wonderful. Good, kind hearted care in every area. She (and we) couldn't be happier!

[name removed] was wonderful to work with to get my mother into the facility. The staff welcomed her when she arrived with a RED CARPET. Great touch and made her feel welcome.

Bayport is a nice community but definitely VERY expensive and puts a burden on the family member if they have to pay. When it comes to the activities they could have more.

I have found the staff very friendly and helpful. However, the changes in staffing and turnover is disturbing. I enjoy the cleanliness and new décor nice. Needed is more outside seating, perhaps a gazebo. Still need a library and auto front door!

It's a nice place. It's new. I think some of the staff need a little more experience with certain aspects. My loved one enjoys the food. They allow pets and offer transportation for a cost.

Send everybody here! They are phenomenal as far as cleanliness, and the staff members truly care. They pulled out a legitimate red carpet when my loved one moved in and had a sign up that said "Welcome." It was amazing to see the level of love and warmth they had - not just the staff but the people who lived there as well. They were really sweet, and you could tell they were really happy and well cared for. Everybody there just had the best demeanor.
We really enjoyed our tour with Bayport of Fort Walton Beach. The facility is brand new and beautiful. It was twice the price of another facility we were looking into which ultimately was why we did not choose them.
I would recommend this community. The staff are fantastic at this community. They are very interested in my loved ones health and activities and always are clear with how she is doing and what all is going on.

We toured this community before it opened and I is amazing. It will be a hotel-style community and we really liked the concept. The staff was very friendly and they answered all our questions.
