Overall Review of Stoddard Baptist Nursing Home

common 18 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.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

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 “immaculate” accounts. Overall, the cleanliness feedback is inconsistent.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Activities and therapy differ widely

Some families feel the activities and therapy fall short.

A couple of reviewers say there are games, outings, and opportunities for residents to interact in shared spaces, including for residents with dementia. Other reviews describe a lack of meaningful activities and rehabilitation effort, including one account of “no real activities” after discharge. One family also questions whether therapy is happening as it should. Based on the reviews, activity programming and therapy experiences are not consistent.

common 7 reviews mention this

Resident care emphasizes help with needs

Reviews frequently mention day-to-day support for residents’ needs and comfort.

Positive reviews describe residents being kept clean, supported, and treated with respect, with some families saying their loved ones are happy and well cared for. Others point to serious care breakdowns, including accounts involving medication safety concerns and residents being left unable to get up or go out. There are also mentions of missing personal items and families having to advocate for basic support and communication. Taken together, the reviews suggest day-to-day assistance is a key part of the experience, but quality can be uneven.
