St. Francis Assisted Care

Dad has moved into St. Francis Assisted Care. Thanks to COVID I have seen the outside, but I barely saw the inside. However, the people I interacted with have been very nice. They have an excellent marketing director. She is a very pleasant woman. The folks that are working there, the CNAs, they are all very nice, even when I know that they don't know that I'm right there. My dad's room is clean. They have been re-doing it. You can tell it is an older building, but some of that is also reflected in the price. They also have some very nice grounds. There is the opportunity for folks to get out. It is fenced on the outside, so if people wander they won't go too far. It also gives a nice view even if you're just looking out from the window.

St. Francis Assisted Care was nice. They have done some upgrades to it and the landscaping. The rooms were all nice, clean, and painted and there were bathrooms inside the rooms. I really liked it. They had a lot of activities. All of the residents were pretty much participative. It looked like a social club where they play games and everybody is involved. They looked comfortable and seemed like they were well taken care of. The room size is perfect. They had patio doors where they can go sit at little patio tables and chairs and put out their own potted plants if they want to. It didn't seem like they were closed in. When they went out to the patio, there were lots of flowers.

My wife moved to St. Francis Assisted Care at the end of March of this year. It's like an apartment complex. They're very helpful. It is clean. They don't have a lot of activities; they spend a lot of time taking care of their residents. The staff is very friendly. They're there to do their job, and they don't mess around, which is good. My wife is a special situation where she seems to be asking for a lot of things, and they're very patient about helping her, getting her what she needs, and taking care of her requirements. They're very attentive, very nice, very good, and very professional. She has a shared room, and there is plenty of space for two persons to occupy the space. They do have other options where you wouldn't have to share a room, but it's cheaper if you will share a room, and it also helps to give them some company, so that they're not always alone. The dining facility is sufficient for the number of people they've got. It's clean, and even right after mealtime, I'm really surprised that it's not a mess. They do have meals on a regular basis that were very substantial. They're pretty conscious about any dietary requirements for any given person. They make sure they give the appropriate meal for the condition of their diet. Their food varies, and it was very good and very well balanced.
