My grandfather is a resident at Central Baptist Village and I wanted to take the time to write a review for those questioning this facility as an option for their loved one. I work in healthcare and have previous experience working in a skilled nursing facility. This facility is unique in so many positive ways. Nursing homes typically have a bad reputation. They are caring for the elderly with complex care needs. Central Baptist Village has proved to exceed my expectations as they continue to provide excellent care for my grandfather. We had previously had him at another facility before transitioning his care to CBV and these facilities are night and day.

Environment: The environment is inviting from the moment you walk in the door. On the weekends, it is not uncommon to see families everywhere in the common areas spending time with their loved ones. It is refreshing to see. At his previous facility, he was often alone in his room and now can be found in one of the many activity rooms. (Note: this is pre-Covid 19)

Staff: They always continue to go above and beyond for my grandfather. They always provide the best care for him. Staff make it a point to get to know him and my family. If we are taking him out for the day, they always make sure he is ready to go and think of all the extra supplies that come along with a day trip. My family can sleep at night knowing the staff have his best interest in mind. The ancillary staff (activities, social work, PT/OT) are always encouraging him to participate in activities with other residents and he is truly never alone in his room thanks to them.

COVID-19 response: the media has done a great job of making sure they cover the facilities who have had cases but what they have not featured is CBV's residents have not had any cases! CBV has proved themselves as they have put the safety of their residents first.

From my own experience in health care, these are two very important characteristics of a great facility. Take a tour and see for yourself what a wonderful place Central Baptist Village is for your loved one.
