Central Baptist Village

“As a geriatric care manager/advocate for seniors,* I can tell you Central Baptist Village (CBV) is one of four from about 12 continuum of care retirement communities in Chicago that I trust to care for residents ‘until the end.’”

“The staff take care of us; they’re on top of Covid testing, for example. They get to know us and reach out to help in any way they can. The environment is nice and the place is clean.”

“I’ve seen Central Baptist ‘Home’ grow into Central Baptist ‘Village’ and it’s turned out really well. The combination of services, programs, nursing support, and staff assistance goes a long way in meeting residents’ needs. The staff is caring and they, like the residents, are friendly. People say ‘hello’ even if they don’t know you. This is a good, faith-based community that accepts you as you are. It’s a village.”

“I’m comforted knowing my dad lives here because staff ‘know him’; they know his habits. They care for him. For example, if he doesn’t come to the dining room for a meal, they’re on the phone to check on him. I also very much like the fact that he gets individualized exercise sessions.”

“Independent living In the Commons was good but being in the Pavilion now is the right place because I rely on nursing care. And when I press the call button, I usually get a response within a reasonable five-to-seven minutes. I’ve actually timed it!”

“I chose CBV because it’s near my son and I get the nursing care I need. I can stay here until ‘the end’ and that’s comforting. I can call administration if I need to and someone will contact me directly. They’re very responsive.”

“Central Baptist Village is like living at home – and, like living at home, I’ve gained some weight – the food is that good.”

“Residents here are friendly and staff make me feel ‘at home.’ And no one forgets my name. I get the assistance I need to maintain my independent lifestyle.”

“I love Central Baptist Village because it’s truly a home for its residents. It’s not a facility. And the staff make residents feel at home. I’ve even told my parents, “I have a place for you.””

“CBV feels like home because it’s a place to live and grow. I’m pretty happy here. I made a good decision to come here.”

“Central Baptist Village is a very pleasant and clean environment. Inside and out. The management and employees genuinely care about the residents. I always have found those in charge to be promptly responsive to questions/requests/concerns regarding my dad. I would have no hesitation in recommending CBV.”

“Quite frankly, I think Central Baptist did an incredible job caring for residents during Covid.”

“Living at CBV has been very good for my dad. Employees are kind and helpful. It’s a culture where staff care about the residents. It’s not just a job. I really do believe employees try their hardest to be responsive as quickly as possible.”

“I made a good decision to move to CBV. I’m happy here. My family is satisfied. I’m getting the care I need.”

“I like the ‘small community feeling’ I’ve experienced at Central Baptist Village (CBV) in the Commons and the Pavilion. From the receptionist to administration, employees make me feel welcomed and at ease.”

“Moving to Central Baptist was a good decision. It’s the right place for us.”

“I’ve been to other continuum of care retirement communities and I can say the CBV staff give great care. They’re very attentive to and involved with the residents. It’s a well-run facility. Administration knows residents’ names and mingles with them. There’s a ‘personal touch’ I’ve not seen elsewhere.”

“I have a lot of faith in and am very committed to CBV, not only as its medical director but as the son of a resident. He’s challenging and the staff’s patience with him is commendable. I’m very grateful.”
