Key Review Excerpts
“The nursing department staff met head on every medical challenge that was presented and did so with dignity and love. The kitchen staff accommodated her dietary requests.”
“Last few months when I've visited a smell hits you as soon as you enter the building. When I see my aunt she looks unkempt...hair standing up (uncombed), spots on her clothing, and never properly dressed for the season.”
“The staff went WAY beyond what was required of them. They would stop in and chat with my Mom on a regular basis. They would fix food items for her just because she was hungry for a particular thing.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Baisch Nursing Center has 50 deficiencies across three surveys, with concerning patterns of recurring issues in medication management, building safety, and administration. The same problems with exit safety, fire protection systems, and infection control have persisted across all three inspections, suggesting ongoing challenges with correction. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the facility's repeated struggles with basic safety and medication error rates warrant careful consideration during visits.
