The Baptist Home at Brookmeade

Our grandfather stayed there for a few years and he was well cared for. They made him very comfortable and always had activities for him to do. The staff are very friendly and care very much about the residents. The rooms are well kept and many areas have been renovated. Overall this is a great place for elderly family members to stay and feel safe.

We had a very bad experience here. I couldn’t find staff when she needed something, moms room dark and dirty, and in our opinion, she received poor care. Couldn’t talk to anyone in authority. In just a few days they lost a couple pairs of new shoes. They couldn’t even find her walker. Mom ended up in hospital after about 3 weeks. She was there for rehab and obviously did not go back.

Although the home appears well maintained there are many issues. They have shut down the main dining room and many residents are now eating in their rooms, There are some great nurses but some are not so great. Many occasions were residents wait 45 minutes to go to the bathroom. If you are checking out a nursing home I recommend asking to view the dining facilities when residents are actually dining. Also try to go by the bathrooms to see how long people are waiting. The one plus they have is the private rooms. They used to be very good but things have changed. Disappointed

Baptist Home is very nice. They have an excellent memory care program, and they have a different approach towards Alzheimer's, which was nice. The cost is high though. The staff is very knowledgeable, very friendly, and excited about their program, and they're very nice. It's a little bit of an older establishment, but the rooms are very nice. They have similar activities as other facilities.
