Bayshire Rancho Mirage in Rancho Mirage, California, offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and a secured Memory Care program, providing a continuum of support that can be adjusted as needs change. The community can accommodate residents who wander at any time of day, have a history of elopement, display combative or other behavioral issues, stay awake at night, require wound care, use oxygen, follow special diets, are younger than 60, or manage diabetes by oral medication, injections, or sliding scale. Its Memory Care neighborhood is structured to serve residents with early to advanced dementia, allowing couples or individuals to stay within the same campus even as conditions progress.

Clinical oversight is delivered by a registered nurse and licensed vocational nurses on staff, with a nurse on site around the clock and 24-hour security coverage. Hospice, incontinence care, ambulatory care, wound management, occupational and physical therapy, medication administration, and podiatry visits are all available without leaving the property. Bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting can be provided with total assistance, and the team is trained for every transfer level from walker support to full Hoyer lift and bed-bound care. A secured, enclosed courtyard gives Memory Care residents supervised access to the outdoors while mitigating exit risk.

Apartments are designed with practical features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, ground-floor options, central air conditioning, cable TV hookups, Wi-Fi, and in-unit washer and dryer in select floor plans; not every residence includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm the specifics during a tour. Studios and efficiency layouts are complemented by landscaped grounds, outdoor walking paths, porches, and multiple seating areas. Regular housekeeping, maintenance, and laundry services keep surroundings clean, and resident or guest parking is provided in uncovered spaces close to the main entrance.

Meals follow set menus with the ability to accommodate physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications. Diabetic, low-sodium, renal, and other clinical diets are prepared under staff supervision, and meal delivery to the apartment is available when illness or mobility issues make dining room visits difficult. Scheduled snacks, hydration rounds, and staff oversight for residents who need verbal cueing or full assistance with eating help maintain nutrition and safety.

Residents have access to a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, library, game and movie rooms, arts and crafts studio, business center, community meeting spaces, a pub-style lounge with billiards, coffee shop, outdoor pool and hot tub, therapy room, walking paths, putting green, communal gardens, and an on-site clinic. Emergency call systems are installed in every apartment, daily check-in protocols add an extra layer of oversight, and concierge services help with transportation and personal errands. Resident parking, carports, and a private dining room for family gatherings are also available, along with multiple porches and piano areas for informal socializing.

Residents and their families say:

This community has received mixed reviews, with several positive remarks and some notable negative experiences. Many reviewers praised the clean and well-kept facilities, friendly staff, and variety of activities.

Some visitors found the community to feel home-like, with friendly and compassionate staff providing a supportive environment. Several reviews highlighted the quality of food and helpful services, including transportation for errands and medical appointments.

However, not all experiences were positive. Multiple reviewers mentioned issues with staffing, particularly concerns about being understaffed and the inattentiveness to patients’ needs, as well as poor communication from administrative staff. A few residents or their families reported specific instances of dissatisfaction with the care provided, expressing concerns about patient supervision and timely response to needs. Some noted logistical issues such as out-of-stock supplies and lost personal belongings, causing distress and casting doubt on the facility’s readiness for certain care scenarios. Despite these concerns, several reviewers found aspects of the facility valuable for more independent or mobile residents.

While many people recommend this community for its amenities and quality care, potential residents might consider checking on current feedback about staffing and care consistency before making a decision. The community’s proximity to medical facilities and round-the-clock staffing might be advantageous for some, yet challenging situations reported by others indicate a need for ongoing assessment of service effectiveness.
