This is the most wonderful nursing home with an attentive and compassionate staff. Our grandmother was here several years for 7 years, and she was cared for in every way possible. The staff were loving, kind, and caring. More recently our mother was here for almost 3 years before she died, and the nurses and nursing aides took amazing care of her as well. The staff always kept my brother and I informed of her various medical issues and we were so happy to know that she was being cared for in the most responsible and supportive way. Thank you all for what you do for our loved ones who are in your care.

I have a family member living there. Baptist Village must be one of the best Nursing Homes around for those who are low on funds. They are treating my family member like royalty and she's not wealthy. The staff are almost always friendly, helpful and fun to be around. They are a true blessing.

Having grown up next door to Dr. Harvey Mitchell, Baptist Village has always been the only option when family needs arise. The quality of both facilities and care are well above average and are priced very competitively. Personal attention from a caring staff elicits a response from my 91 year old mother of “If you need to be somewhere, it’s a fantastic place to be”! That she is happy, well cared for and well adjusted brings peace to our family. I highly recommend Baptist Village!

My mother spent her last years there and we were very satisfied with her care. Three years ago my sister was admitted there.Some people expect the same level of care as if there was a caregiver at her side 24/7. That is not going to happen at any nursing home, especially when they operate on a shoestring. If your loved one is in a nursing home , you must stay in close touch with the care givers- attend the care plan meeting. So all the staff knows this is a valued person who deserves the best of care.
