Welcome To Bay Oaks

Bay Oaks provides unparalleled service and the highest level of concierge care to our 32 retired residents.

We break the institutional mold here, and our residents thrive because their home is as individualized as they are.  While providing the highest level of assisted living services, including a nearly 1 –to-1 staff ratio, we’ve made it our mission to ban ‘institutional’ from our campus.  We modernized our historic campus with fine attention to preserving the character or our buildings and green spaces, which span nearly two acres, just steps from Biscayne Bay.  Each of our rooms is individually decorated with classic solid wood furniture, one hundred percent cotton linens, original paintings, and fresh flowers from the garden. We serve the highest quality, chef-prepared meals, featuring organically grown fruits and fresh herbs from our gardens. Our exceptional location on 34th Street near Biscayne Bay is minutes away from Mount Sinai Hospital and the University of Miami Health District; the second largest medical district in the United States.

Our unique, thoughtful and focused approach to assisted living is based on extensive experience and an unwavering commitment to treating our residents as family. Our unrivaled nutritious cuisine is prepared by professional chefs because we know good food is integral to good health. We promote a sense of community through stimulating and sociable activities and our expansive gardens allow for fresh air, exercise and sunshine to be a part of everyday life.
