  • Bayshore Guest Home Description

    Bayshore Guest Home and Gardens is a tribute to my father and mother, Reidar and Marianne Fjeld. They are my inspiration behind creating Bayshore as a special place. It has been my dream since I was a child after visiting patients with my mother to create a family home that makes it feasible for partners to age in place together even if they have different medical challenges. Partners are not separated in different sections of the facility which is often the case in large Assisted Living/Nursing Homes. Bayshore is a family friendly happy place that accommodates both individuals and couples in a home setting with compassionate and highly trained staff. It is an honor to serve our residents and the community.

    Please remove my video and name. I was the Admin until Nov 2022 when I was terminated for challenging the owner Monica Dowhan for not reporting abuse of a resident as reported by staff. I called Dcf and in the last 3 months, since my departure there are more investigations as to resident care. I would not allow them now to watch anyone let alone a vulnerable senior...
