I visited Central Baptist Village, the tour was good, and the person I spent time with was very informative. We sat down and she showed me three different layouts there. It was very nice. I saw several different suites, it was a private community, and the amount of money was just really way out of line for us, but I really liked the facility. They have a 1-bedroom, a studio, and a companion suite.

Central Baptist Village was very nice and it has different levels of care. They have assisted living, nursing homes, a memory care section, and even hospice. They have a few different restaurants and meal services, and they seem to have lots of activities. There is also a doctor who comes in onsite from one of the local hospitals. It is a community that I'm pretty comfortable with. The staff member who assisted me was very thorough and seemed to know the community very well. She seemed to be a very competent, caring person. She took quite an amount of time to show me everything. I went through the dining room and looked at the weekly menus, and they looked good. They also had a small ice cream parlor, which made the place very cozy, like a little village. From what I could see, it looked great.

I was impressed with the number of activities and the spaces devoted to these activities in Central Baptist. The way the building was designed, at the end of each hall is a sitting area, well-lit, with sunlight coming in. The staff answered all my questions. The dining room was beautiful.

In our modern world, CBV is kind and gentle. The facility is immaculate and has a neighborhood concept. The greatest asset is the caring staff who not only provide for the residents in a loving and respectful manner but also lend support to families in what can sometimes be a difficult time in life’s journey.

After our search for the right nursing home, we moved into Central Baptist Village. She is in Memory Care and I am into Independent living. The care and kindness of the staff, from the top down, have exceeded our expectations. The food is excellent, well presented and served lovingly. The grounds are lovely and peaceful. The entire complex is well cared for.

We are very happy living at CBV. We enjoy many activities and good food everyday. Both staff and residents are very friendly and make you feel as one of the family. Your needs are cared for.

My mom is in Central Baptist Village. The staff is wonderful. They talk to their guests by name and they are very interactive. They have small but adequate room. The food is fine. My mother is quite happy having a nice warm meal and having plenty of it. They are activities, maybe not every day, but throughout the week, there are different things that do come out and they do let them know what kind of things is going on. They have live entertainment and movies available. They also have a library. They have transportation to shopping and doctor's appointment. We are very pleased and I will definitely recommend them to others.

We explored Central Baptist Village while searching in a facility for our mother who, at the time, had just progressed definitely into what most would call "mid stage" dementia. Our mother's condition was especially critical in our consideration of Central Baptist Village, as opposed to other facilities; I say this because while Central Baptist is clearly a well-run facility with many positive attributes, it may not be the best environment for those who still have the majority of their faculties and are able to function independently. Central Baptist is, indeed, a "village". By this I mean that it consists of three different entities all on the same campus- a senior living apartment complex, an assisted-living facility, and a full-care nursing facility. In this sense, it may be ideal for those seeking long-term stability for those only recently diagnosed with a progressive, debilitating disease. One can establish residence in the independent-living area, then move to other facilities as their condition requires; once at central Baptist Village, one can remain there indefinitely. However, having no need for the independent living or the full-care elements, I can only relay our impression of the assisted living facility. The grounds- set in a pleasant suburban environment- were inviting, and the amenities included inviting common areas and an attractive chapel; however, the overall atmosphere, while efficient and clean, was more "clinical" than we thought ideal for someone still able to comprehend their surroundings. The broad and open hallways, though extremely functional, lacked any considerable warmth; the rooms, though ample in size, lacked personality. Though warmer than hospital rooms, they were decidely utilitarian. Perhaps the most unappealing aspect of the facility was that all residents with any sort of memory issue were under considerable restriction. The majority of the common areas were accessable to residents only with supervision. Of course, while this situation is completely appropriate- ideal, actually- for those whose dementia has advanced to the point where confusion is common, the level of restriction we observed was, we felt , unnecessary and intimidating for those still with their wits about them. In summation, Central Baptist Village's assisted living component is an efficient and comprehensive place for those requiring continuous supervision. The knowledge that one can remain at Central Baptist through their final days is also a considerable asset to many. However, the atmosphere here might not be particularly therapeutic to, nor appreciated by, those who are not yet resigned to their condition.
