Bayley
Who We Are: A non-profit ministry of the Sisters of Charity, Bayley is a continuum of care Retirement Facility and Community Wellness Center on the west side of Cincinnati. For thirty years, dedicated staff and volunteers have provided compassion and quality of life to those we serve in a Catholic/Christian-like environment. We strive to help others live “Life In Every Moment” at any stage, regardless of their abilities. Our goal is to promote optimum health and wellbeing for seniors of all faiths who live on our campus and in the greater community through the programs and services we offer.
What We Do: Bayley offers 78 Independent Living cottages, a Fitness Center, an Adult Day Program, Outpatient and Inpatient Rehabilitative Therapy and Assisted Living, Home Services, Memory Support, Skilled Nursing Care, and Pastoral Care. Physical, social, spiritual and emotional needs are addressed by our professional, caring staff. We adhere to the strictest standards of safety and hygiene, with ample PPE and increased staff training during COVID-19. Our residents and staff received the vaccine in December, and are tested regularly based on state and county mandates. Our staff has created safe and diverse activities to satisfy the varied interests of those in our care. Once COVID-regulations are lifted, family members will once again be encouraged to join in the daily activities, attend Mass or experience the beautiful gardens and accessible walking paths around campus with their loved ones. Our residents’ relatives quickly become an extension of our Bayley family, often renewing old friendships and creating new memories. In 2020, over 400 seniors called Bayley home.
Why We’re Important: Residents, Adult Day and Fitness Club members participate in a variety of services, classes and programs coordinated by our professional staff. We have put extra cleaning and sanitizing procedures into place, as well as social distancing and mask requirements. Upholding our reputation as the preferred senior wellness hub in the community and contributing to our fivestar rating awarded by the Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services, we help seniors where they are today. Expanded residential options and community services are available if care needs increase. Responsive to family concerns as well, the Adult Day Program offers respite to caregivers, and educational dementia trainings are scheduled to enhance communication and understanding of loved ones in need of memory support.
How We Serve the Community: In 2020, we had nearly 1900 Fitness Center members from the local community. The club has become the place where friends meet, socialize, work out and attend outreach programs that encourage safe and healthy lifestyles. While we were closed much of the year for pandemic safety closures, we encouraged our fitness members to continue their health and wellness journeys through virtual classes we provided, and checked in with members often with fitness activities they could do in their own homes. In an average year, we hold over 2000 fitness classes, including classes in balance, yoga, boxing, Pilates, tai chi, water aerobics, cycling, and more. In 2020, Bayley Home Services kept 73 seniors living on campus or in the community safe and independent - on their own, but not alone!™ Over 60 members and their families were assisted by the Bayley Adult Day Program. We also assisted many seniors with their rehabilitation needs, both inpatient and outpatient.
How You Can Help: Bayley’s vision is to continue providing exceptional, compassionate care to seniors for generations to come, but we need additional support to make this happen. We currently have no waiting list for our lovely Assisted Living apartments, and we hope that you will encourage friends and relatives to tour, to see if they would like to call Bayley home! Charitable contributions are welcomed and we offer several giving options that include event sponsorships, memorial or tribute donations, society memberships and planned giving opportunities. Volunteers, important members of our Bayley family, add to the circle of friends for our residents and members through their service to others. Whether you’re helping on field trips, delivering mail, knitting prayer shawls or taking time to sit and chat, we invite you to share your talents with us. Visit www.bayleylife.org
