Baptist Village - J. Olan Jones Healthcare Center

Eileen

My husband is now living at Baptist Village - J. Olan Jones Healthcare Center. The staff is very helpful. My husband is in good care. His anger is showing through, so they have to watch him a little closer, but he's doing okay. And it's been working out okay. He is not happy with the food, but they feed him good meals. He has breakfast, lunch, and supper or dinner. The food is good, but he's just a picky eater. The facility is nice and clean. All of the other residents seem happy there. It's a comfortable place to be. And I'm happy with it. They have a salon. They have a dietician that I see. He's only been there a week, so I'm not familiar with all of it.

Baptist Village is close to my mother's sister and we've had other family members there so we're familiar with it. The staff is helpful; however, she's not happy with almost everything there.

It's actually very pretty and quiet around Baptist Village. My great grandma never complained about it, even when her daughter did. She liked it, and she got to go outside a lot. It's sort of countryish out there, and it made her feel good to go outside and listen to all the insects because she was from an old farmhouse out in the country. The staff was usually friendly and courteous, though my great-grandma did complain sometimes about a particular lady (nurse? caretaker?). She was young and "always a bitch." Apparently stuff gets stolen there sometimes, though I think my grandma exaggerated it a little bit. I'm not sure about the food there, but it always looked and smelled wrong to me. I assumed it's because there are so many people there with various digestive problems that they have to make the food differently or something. I'm not expert on health, so I don't know if that's the explanation or not.The grounds of the place are lovely. It's out on the edge of town, quiet and sunny. There is a HUGE tree there that I just love. I think it's an oak. As nursing homes in Waycross go, Baptist Village is probably the best.
