    Spacious rooms, dirty, understaffed, concerning

    I visited and, while the rooms are spacious with a sensible square layout and a cat-friendly option, I was put off by filthy rooms, sticky floors, and several open/renovating rooms. The facility is clearly understaffed-short on caregivers and no weekend RN/LPN-so aides run activities, medication handling worried me, and meals are often reheated on weekends (they looked OK). New staff and improvements to facilities/programs are promising and I felt comfortable with some staff, but staffing and cleanliness issues make me hesitant.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from the review summaries is mixed: reviewers acknowledge physical improvements and recent staffing changes but consistently raise operational and care-quality concerns, especially around staffing, weekend coverage, cleanliness, and clinical oversight. Multiple comments highlight that the facility has undergone renovations and that room sizes and layout are favorable. At the same time there are repeated complaints about inadequate staffing, weekend clinical coverage, and cleanliness issues that undermine confidence in day‑to‑day care.

    Facilities and rooms: Several reviewers praise the physical aspects of the community — renovations have been completed or are in progress, rooms are described as spacious with a square layout, and there is a respectable selection of rooms with availability. The community is noted as being cat-friendly, which is an important positive for pet owners. However, other comments indicate the property had been "let go" in the past and some reviews specifically cite filthy rooms and sticky floors, which suggests inconsistent housekeeping and lingering effects from prior neglect despite recent upgrades.

    Staff and care quality: Staffing is the most consistent concern across the summaries. Reviewers report the community is short-staffed or understaffed and that staffing seems insufficient for the roughly 20 residents mentioned. There is a notable absence of an RN/LPN on weekends, and some reviews say no administrator was present at times. These issues feed into specific worries about clinical oversight, including concerns about medication management. On the positive side, several reviewers mention new staff hires and say they feel comfortable with some staff members — and that programs and facility conditions have improved since changes were made. Overall, the picture is of a facility in transition: improvements are occurring but not yet fully resolving core staffing and clinical supervision problems.

    Dining and activities: Meal service receives mixed comments. Food is described as "looking OK" by some reviewers, but others explicitly note that meals are reheated on weekends, which can indicate a lower-quality dining experience on non‑weekday shifts. Activities are described as limited, and in many cases aides (rather than dedicated activities staff) are running programs. This may be a consequence of staffing shortages and contributes to a perception of a less robust social/engagement program than families might expect.

    Management and operational patterns: The reviews reflect a pattern of management and operational instability. Mentions of the property having been neglected, an absent administrator, and continuing staffing shortfalls imply organizational issues that have real impacts on residents' daily experience. At the same time, reviews referencing new staff and improvements to programs and facilities suggest management has taken corrective steps — but those steps have not yet fully addressed cleanliness, clinical coverage on weekends, or medication-related concerns.

    Bottom line: The community shows clear positives — renovated spaces, roomy units, pet‑friendly options, and some recent programmatic and staffing improvements — but also persistent and serious negatives tied to staffing levels, weekend clinical coverage, inconsistent cleanliness, and medication oversight. Prospective residents and families should weigh the improved physical environment and availability against ongoing operational challenges. If considering this facility, ask explicitly about current staffing ratios, RN/LPN weekend coverage, medication administration protocols, housekeeping schedules, administrator availability, and how activities are staffed and structured on weekends to determine whether the recent improvements have fully addressed the reported deficiencies.

    About CLE Haven Bayside Assisted Living

    CLE Haven Bayside Assisted Living sits near Lake Michigan in Bayside, Wisconsin, tucked into a quiet spot not far from shops, restaurants, parks, and places of worship, and you'll find the place set up for seniors who need different kinds of help, whether they're looking for active adult living, independent living, assisted living, memory care-even hospice or home care. Folks living here can choose studio apartments, enjoy meals planned with all kinds of health and dietary needs in mind, including low sodium and diabetic options, and can expect weekly housekeeping, plus laundry and religious services held right in the building. There's a recreation room, gardens, outdoor patios, a hair salon, and community dining. The staff helps with medication, personal care, diabetes management, incontinence, and anything else residents might need with 24-hour emergency call systems in each unit, a part-time nurse available, and an on-site RN for health monitoring. People who need skilled nursing or hospice have their needs looked after, and there's respite care for when families or regular caregivers need a break, as well as home health care that's Medicare-certified. Residents can find entertainment spaces indoors, a library, fitness and wellness programs, devotional activities, and chances to go offsite now and then, or just sit outdoors and enjoy bay views. The community isn't pet-friendly but offers transportation, parking, TV and Wi-Fi in rooms, and help for folks with Alzheimer's or any stage of dementia. Each person gets individualized care, whether they need help bathing, dressing, getting around, or anything else that comes up, and the staff aims to provide a calm, easygoing atmosphere where people can keep up their social and spiritual lives if they want to. The larger area is residential and quiet, but a hospital's not too far if medical needs come up, and family members are welcome to visit, take a tour, or just stop in and see how the place runs. CLE Haven Bayside Assisted Living covers a wide range of care, including adult day services and long-term care, and tries to meet whatever daily living needs seniors might have in a straightforward, supportive way.
