Inspection Report Summary for Baptist Village, Inc.

The most recent inspection on November 15, 2024, found no deficiencies after a revisit survey confirmed correction of prior issues. Earlier inspections in 2024 identified deficiencies primarily related to fire safety, including self-closing doors that did not latch properly and sprinkler system maintenance, as well as resident care concerns involving urinary catheter dignity, care plan implementation, and oxygen therapy administration. Complaint investigations during this period were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated complaint in 2022 involving improper technique during resident care that resulted in a fall and injury. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to be addressing past deficiencies, as recent follow-up surveys have verified corrections and the latest inspection was free of citations.
