Overall Review of Stoddard Baptist Nursing Home
common18 reviews mention this
Staffing and professionalism vary
Residents and families describe care that depends heavily on who is on shift.
Some reviewers describe attentive, caring staff, including people thanking unit assistants, nurses, technicians, and other caregivers for day-to-day support. Others report unprofessional behavior, poor communication, and feeling like they had to push for updates. A few reviews also call out staffing being too thin or overworked, including one account of having only a single nurse handling a very large number of patients. Across the reviews, experiences range from feeling well cared for to feeling neglected or unsafe.

Cleanliness is a mixed picture
Cleanliness comes up sharply, with reviews split between immaculate and dirty.
Several reviewers praise the building as clean and well kept, with mentions of residents being kept up and out of bed to interact. Other reviewers describe dirty rooms, housekeeping that does not keep up with basic upkeep, and even pest-related concerns. A few comments also describe the facility as falling apart, which conflicts with the âimmaculateâ accounts. Overall, the cleanliness feedback is inconsistent.

One family also questions whether therapy is happening as it should. Based on the reviews, activity programming and therapy experiences are not consistent.
