Saint Francis Senior Residence

The environment at Saint Francis was nice. We visited during lunchtime, and everyone looked like they were having a good time. They had a place where they can get together and do different activities.

I would've put my grandmother at St. Francis Senior Residence, but they don't take patients that have dementia as a first diagnosis. The staff was really nice, friendly, and answered all of my questions. Their dining room was very clean, and everything they eat was posted. The rooms were really nice. They had a lot for the seniors to do like play games.

Since 2001 our church has come in every Sunday morning to provide Church Services for the residents here. Because it is the same group doing church every Sunday instead of different congregations taking turns, there is continuity with Pastor Rick and the people. Some in the facility help by ushering or playing music. I just think it is a special perk that should be considered, if your loved one is a Christian. Over the years, I have found the facility comfortable and clean and the staff friendly and caring.

My mom seems to be okay at St. Francis Senior Residence. This facility is affordable for most people who just have Social Security. The living environment is fine. They have people that clean the place. Most of their rooms are like double-room so a lot of them have two people in one room. They're actually pretty good in terms of size. It's enough for each of them to have their own bed, dresser, etc. I also think the staff is pretty friendly there. They try to help my mom out. If for some reason, my mom wasn't doing well, they will help her take a shower if needed. Say if she didn't feel good, they will bring her dinner to her room. They also disperse all of my mom's medications for her. They do have one nurse on staff. They have a regular dining room that they go to everyday. With regards to food, I think they have the same thing a lot, so it's not very good. For activities, they do play bingo, but I don't think my mom would play that. Though they do go out to Walmart, they don't really go to a lot of places, so they do feel pretty confined in the facility.
