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

Our Experience
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.

Wonderful, caring place for my mom
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. Their nursing staff especially [name removed] is the sweetest and takes such great care of my mom, she’s delightful, Thank you Bay Port.

Our Experience
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.

Best assisted living community in the county
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!

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!

Best Choice for Your Family Member
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.
