For others, it’s working with their hands. Or volunteering. Or the arts. Or traveling. Or theatrical productions. Whatever puts the bounce into your step, you’ll find it at Baywood Court. Baywood Travelers Each year, the Baywood Travelers club explores dozens of interesting locations. We’ve toured the Hayward Planetarium, explored the Gold Country in the Sierra foothills, visited strawberry farms in Salinas, and enjoyed a ferry ride and brunch in Sausalito. Cubby Hole Store The Cubby Hole is a resident-run store that offers cards, gifts, sweets, sundries, and best of all, convenience. Store profits are used for special projects, including educational grants for Baywood Court staff. The Baywood Chorus A popular source of entertainment at Baywood Court is to attend recitals by the Baywood Chorus, a co-ed singing group comprised of Baywood Court residents. The group is organized and run by residents and performs two very popular shows a year. Anyone who likes to sing can join. Woodworking Shop The Woodworking Shop was the brainchild of residents who acquired funding from Baywood Court, permits from the city, and donated their “labor of love” to build the shop from the ground up and outfit it with tools for all kinds of woodworking projects. Literature & Workshop Our resident-run literature series excites the intellect with an amazing variety of speakers and topics. In past years, guest speakers have discussed impressionist paintings, corporate ethics, religions of the world, and tales of travel. We also have a workshop series that focuses on health and other senior issues, such as scams and safety. Computer Lab In addition to offering Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the entire community for everyone to enjoy, we also offer a Computer Lab that provides an outlet for residents to research topics of interest, check email, or simply surf the internet. Circulation Library Enjoy a book in our beautiful library or take it with you. The resident-managed Baywood Court Circulation Library is open to all residents. Our collection includes books donated by residents and large-print books donated by the Alameda County Library. Best of all, you can borrow books for as long as you wish. Art Gallery At the Baywood Art Gallery, you can view exhibits of our residents and local artists. During the holiday season, the gallery features displays of residents’ handmade decorations. Resident Gardens Baywood Court residents built raised beds in the community garden for those who like to grow flowers and vegetables. Depending on the season, you’re likely to find roses, perennials, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, parsley, and a variety of seasonal flowers such as pansies, California poppies, and crocuses. Exercise Programs At Baywood Court, you can choose among many ongoing wellness classes tailored to your needs and interests. Therapy screenings, pool safety, and health talks are all available to our residents. Brain Fitness We encourage residents to exercise their minds as well as their bodies, which they can do at our cognition and brain fitness classes. These classes help maintain strong brain health, stay sharp, and help stave off memory loss. Community Celebrations Each year, the children and grandchildren of our residents, staff, and neighbors visit Baywood Court to participate in our intergenerational seasonal celebrations.
