“I can't speak highly enough about this facility and its staff. My brother was on Dove wing for 8 mths, until he passed away January 3, 2026. He was in 3 other facilities before the Baptist. I got him on the waiting list and they called me as soon as they had availability. I fought to get him here but it was worth the wait and the fight. The nurses, aides and office staff knew my brother by name…”
