Families appreciate the compassionate care provided to residents, noting that the facility goes above and beyond to keep seniors active and comfortable.

Key Review Excerpts
“My Grandma Jeanette was a resident at St. Francis. I feel they went above and beyond to keep her active. She lived there for 3 years they made her very comfortable at the end as well. They also treated family with respect.”
“One of the great advantages of living in this community was the option to purchase extra services that fit their needs— for example, someone to help with showers and to set up meds. They had a call button that they could use if they needed someone from nursing services to pay a visit. They were always quick in responding and showed compassion.”
“We are so very pleased with the care our elderly mother is receiving at St. Francis. She enjoys being there, and she loves the staff. It's the next best thing to having her here with us.”
