$7.6M Upgrade Completed At Baywood Court In Castro Valley

Indoor and outdoor community spaces were enhanced, along with major remodeling of living quarters.

CASTRO VALLEY, CA — Baywood Court, a nonprofit senior community in Castro Valley serving over 240 residents, has completed a $7.6 million capital investment program.

Upgrades to residences include new kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and lighting. Public spaces and landscaping were also enhanced including a newly designed lobby and reception area, pool courtyard, gazebo courtyard with outdoor kitchen, and bocce ball court.

"For 33 years, Baywood Court has been a pillar of retirement living in Castro Valley," said Matt Neal, CEO of Baywood Court. "We have been investing in updating and modernizing Baywood, so it is fresh and inviting for our current and future residents.

"Our team of more than 150 staff is committed to seniors so they may live in health, happiness, and dignity. Our goal is to ensure any senior who calls Castro Valley, Hayward, or neighboring communities home may find a modern, comfortable, and accommodating living space during their senior years and live as vibrant of a life as possible.”

A new walking pathway has been installed around the grounds for residents to keep up a regular fitness program. The remodeled rehabilitation therapy center has all new equipment, a kitchen, and a simulated bathroom so community residents and patients in the skilled nursing health center may improve their skills to live as independently as possible.

Last year, Baywood added six newly built two bedroom, two bathroom independent living cottages to the adjoining neighborhood. Residents may dine at the community’s main dining room with other Baywood residents, enjoy all the amenities, and partake in the group activities.

In addition to capital investments, Baywood Court launched a program that recognizes wellness as a holistic endeavor combining physical, intellectual, spiritual, social/emotional, and environmental factors.

In addition to new gym equipment, activities were added to engage residents on multiple levels.

To reflect Baywood Court's modified emphasis it has adopted the slogan, Vibrant Senior Living.
