Bayside Manor sits on the Jersey shore in Keansburg, where you get to see Raritan Bay and sandy beaches from the property, and the grounds have well-kept gardens and fountains, a peaceful gazebo, and shady covered porches with rocking chairs for relaxing outside, with safe, secured areas for walking or sitting. The buildings have a Victorian style that looks nice and feel homelike, with fireproof construction and emergency response systems in every apartment. There are 167 beds, and you can pick from semi-private or single rooms, bigger two-bedroom apartments, and even larger water suites, giving folks a chance to find the right space for them, and every room comes with a bathroom, kitchenette, and wall-to-wall carpeting. Each room is wired with basic cable, has window treatments, and emergency systems, and people can bring their own furniture and things to make it feel like home.
Bayside Manor provides assisted living, skilled nursing, Alzheimer's and memory care, respite stays, hospice services, and "aging in place" support, which lets people move between care levels without leaving the community. Nurses, aides, and staff stay on-site 24 hours a day to help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, meal support, bathroom needs, and medication reminders or management. There's medication administration, diabetes care (with staff helping monitor blood sugars, but not give insulin shots), non-ambulatory and standby assistance for wheelchair transfers, and extra care for memory loss or dementia, with a secured building and wellness activities. Residents get two nurse wellness visits every year and individualized care plans set by nursing staff. The staff has stayed a long time with Bayside Manor, and many people say the team is cheerful, friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which makes the place feel warm and inviting.
Meals come three times a day with three snacks, served restaurant-style, with menus that can fit special diets, and family and friends can join for meals if they want. There's a private dining room for special gatherings or celebrations. Inside, you'll find a library, a movie theater, general store, chapel, wellness room, arts and crafts room, game room, and den, giving lots of spaces to socialize or relax. Weekly Mass and daily rosary happen on-site, and offsite devotional services are available, too. There's a resident-run musical group, movie nights, game nights, story time, and all sorts of activities that get folks moving, learning, or enjoying music and culture. The facility also features Bayside Village, which is a small town setting of sorts with its own country store, beauty salon, chapel, movie theater, and gathering areas.
Outdoor patios, walking paths, and gardens give space for fresh air and family BBQs in summer, and there's parking for residents and guests. Pets are allowed with some restrictions, and smokers have a designated outdoor area because the indoor spaces are smoke-free. Housekeeping, laundry, and trash removal are handled daily, and there's an on-site hair salon, barber, and convenience store for resident needs. The property offers rehabilitation therapies, like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, all on-site, and works with visiting physicians. Folks can join in offsite outings and entertainment or just spend time in the shared spaces watching TV or participating in group activities. There's a full calendar of social, spiritual, educational, and recreational activities, and family members can easily communicate with staff for updates. The Manor provides complimentary transport for appointments or errands, along with help for residents to get to doctor visits.
Residents needing financial help can talk with staff for advice, VA benefit support, or cost assistance programs. Bills can be paid by check or credit card, and all-inclusive pricing covers room, meals, most services, housekeeping, laundry, and amenities, though an entry fee is required. The care environment feels clean and well-maintained, and people say it's a comfortable place with beautiful outside spaces and nice views. Bayside Manor is family-owned by the Cappadona family, has a long history of friendly, helpful staff, and it gets high marks from families for making residents feel welcome and well cared for.
