Primarily short stays
Residents typically stay for brief periods, with frequent admissions and discharges throughout the year.
Most new residents arrive under private pay (61% of admissions), and a typical private pay stay runs around 1 years.
Operating in Waycross, Georgia, for more than 50 years, Baptist Village is a nursing home governed by an executive committee. The 254-bed home accepts Medicare and private pay; families have flexibility in how care is funded. The facility’s occupancy rate is 73%. Residents stay an average of 274 days, including those receiving short-term rehabilitation and needing longer-term nursing care.
Daily care is supported through a comprehensive staffing model. Residents receive about 4 hours and 47 minutes of nursing care each day, including registered nurse time, licensed practical nurse time, and nursing aide support, and that combination of clinical and personal care staffing reflects the home’s focus on rehabilitation and recovery.
The home provides rehabilitation services alongside personal care support. That’s part of what makes the facility a resource for residents in the post-acute stage as well as those with ongoing care needs.
Waycross has a Walk Score of 60. Some errands can be managed on foot, but most residents and visitors rely on short drives for daily needs. The surrounding area provides access to services and amenities without the heavier traffic in more densely populated urban areas.
State inspections reviewed the home’s systems and protocols across 9 years. A recent re-inspection confirmed that previously identified issues had been addressed, with no new concerns cited during that visit. There’s a continuing process of assessment and improvement through regulatory oversight. This cycle remains a routine part of nursing home review and reflects how standards of care are maintained.
Baptist Village, Inc. is administered by Holli Sweat.
In Georgia, the Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division conducts unannounced inspections to ensure facilities adhere to state health and safety requirements.
