We are delighted with this facility and it's staff, and it couldn't be more perfect for our parents. The transition from living independently at home has been handled with respect, kindness and professionalism.

Mum is thriving in the bays at age 89 and is now joining in on activities she never did before. Food is excellent and the staff are very friendly and supportive with anything we have concerns with. Would recommend to anyone with parents living alone and looking for a safe and secure environment. Thankyou to all the team in the Bays nursing home as now I can sleep knowing my mum is happy.

The Bays Aged Care has been wonderful for our father. Staff are attentive and caring. Everyone is so nice!!
Rated 5 out of 5.
Moving to aged care is difficult at the best of times. 90 year old mother was welcomed and cared for from the moment she arrived. My mother is very cognitive however physical issues made the move to care a must. Since mum has been in care both her happy disposition has returned and her physical ability has improved greatly. Management staff keep the family informed of updates to schedule and the nurses caterers and cleaners keep mum well fed and cared for. Thank you Philip Davies
I am very happy with all the services - exceptional care with very friendly and cooperative staff that I get along well with. I am enjoying the social activities and have settled in here well. I would strongly recommend The Bays to anyone, especially my damaging friends that may need care. Thank you Frank
