Bay Oaks evolved from the dream of seven professional women in 1947 to provide assisted retirement living in Miami in a gracious home rather than an institutional setting. The board raised funds to construct the home with its distinctive tropical style just a stroll from Biscayne Bay. Today each room is individually decorated with antiques and heritage linens, much like a fine bed and breakfast. With its garden atmosphere and tranquil breezeways, porch rockers and restaurant-style dining, Bay Oaks provides residents with a truly unique living experience.Bay Oaks is proud of its heritage of more than 50 years as an all-woman directed charitable organization. The concept of providing residents with caring assistance - while banishing institutional conformity in favor of congenial surroundings - makes it a leader in assisted living.Bay Oaks is a certified 501C3 not-for-profit organization, providing unparalleled quality of care since 1947.
