Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the Baptist Homes is dedicated to providing person-centered care. Memory care, which is also called Dementia or Alzheimer’s care, is usually tailored for the unique needs of the resident. The Baptist Homes practice Inclusive Memory CareSM that includes specialized training for our staff that allows residents to stay connected to their campus’s community and chapel services rather than being locked away in an “Alzheimer’s Ward.”
The Baptist Homes strive to provide quality health care at an affordable price. While the Baptist Homes are not a
Medicare or Medicaid provider, our staff will work with the resident and family to find available resources to help
cover the cost of care. Financial assistance may be available for those who are unable to pay the full cost of their care. The need for financial assistance can be discussed during the admission process.

This will largely depend upon the campus you choose and the housing arrangement you require. For facility admission, most applicants can be accommodated within a few days or weeks; however, at the Ozark campus, the wait could be as long as two years. Independent living housing may have a waiting list of six months to five years, depending on the location. We encourage you to contact the campus of your choice for up-to-date availability information.
There is no longer a minimum age requirement to be a resident of the Baptist Homes.
No, in 2006 the Board of Trustees of The Baptist Home voted to have an open admissions policy. One scriptural

No, this policy was changed in 1981. Turning over all of your assets is no longer a requirement for admission.
