Overall Review of Bayside Of Poquoson Health And Rehab
common22 reviews mention this
Staff care is frequently praised
Residents and families frequently describe the staff as caring, kind, and helpful.
A lot of reviews focus on how supported residents feel, with multiple people saying the nursing team and aides treat residents with dignity and compassion. Several reviewers also describe specific moments of help during stressful care situations, including frequent check-ins and conversations in residents’ rooms. Even some critical reviews still acknowledge that there are good caregivers on site, even if other parts of the operation fall short.

Clean building and upkeep
Many reviews mention the facility looks clean and well kept.
Several people describe the building as clean, with sparkling floors and visitors noticing cleanliness soon after arriving. A few reviewers also mention upgrades under new management and describe an overall sense of cleanliness at the time of their visit. One review contrasts this with serious care concerns, but still emphasizes the facility’s appearance as a positive point for some families.

Food quality draws complaints
Food quality and nutrition follow-through are recurring concerns in reviews.
Some reviews report serious dissatisfaction with meals, including allegations of raw food and food restrictions not being honored. Others describe food as not appetizing, and at least one person connects early medication access problems with the first weekend of stay. On the other hand, at least one family mentions staff making sure residents had food and drinks during a difficult period.
caveat8 reviews mention this
Medication and safety concerns
Some reviews describe safety and medication breakdowns during care.
A set of negative reviews point to safety issues such as falls and problems with medication handling or dosing. Others describe circumstances where staff seemed unprepared for a resident’s needs, including therapy support and managing highly controlled medications. These concerns appear alongside claims of issues like short staffing, drug-related allegations, and serious outcomes that families attribute to the facility’s care.
caveat2 reviews mention this
Dementia readiness is questioned
Two reviews raise concerns about dementia care decisions and readiness.
One reviewer questions a situation involving a resident with dementia and a DNR being signed without certain people present. Another reviewer says the admission contact stated the facility was not equipped to manage dementia, which they considered a major red flag.
