Bay Breeze Serenity

Let’s face it, most senior residence places and even the fancy ones are stations for people who are awaiting the mortality train, so is it really possible it to flip that paradigm upside down and create a place where people really enjoy their stay and they go to bed at night looking forward to waking up the next morning to start a new day?

We believe it is possible and that is why we established Bay Breeze Serenity.

Some people like to be in a large facility with a pool and a gymnasium. Sure that sounds great but, the reality is that most of the residents of these places never use these amenities even though they are paying for them. Also, such facilities are often big but aloof where some people can remain isolated as though they are not living in a community. In these big places, sometimes the ratio of workers to residents is 1 to 7. If you call some of these places to check on your loved one, nobody will pick up the phone and if they do, a person who barely speaks English will answer the phone only to tell you that they have no idea where your loved one is; that is if they knew who he/she was. We, however; believe in small, tight-knit communities where everybody knows everybody else and nobody goes unnoticed, where you will only be left alone if you requested that and even that request will elicit our care staff to put you on the “Special Observe List” in case this was a sign of other more serious issues. We absolutely respect the privacy of our residents but as we consider them members of our big family then we want to make sure they are thriving. Worker to resident ratio at our facility often gets as high as 1 to 2 during the day and 1 to 3 during bed time. Sure you will miss the swimming pool and the gymnasium but instead you will find the warmth of people who really care about their residents and are really passionate about what they do.
