I liked Franciscan Court. It wasn't as fancy as other facilities, but it was more modest, and appeared to be a well-run facility. The cost appeared to be more reasonable than other places as well. The pricing was reasonably good and met the needs that one would have without elevated costs. It's a family-run business and they appeared to be quite dedicated and knowledgeable. It looked like they were working to make the residents' experience as nice as possible. The dining room was a relatively small facility, but it looked decent and nice.

I visited Franciscan Court but they didn't have the support for the insulin that Dad needed. However, the visit was very nice. They were helpful, showed me everything, and answered all my questions. It was very clean, and the apartment looked nice. They had an activity center with activities throughout, and I remember seeing a calendar with different items in it. I think they need more nurses and having a registered nurse would be helpful.

I love Franciscan Court because it is a small community with only three floors and 70 patients. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I have seen Dad's menu and it has a variety. They have a bigger meal at lunch and a smaller one for dinner. They have different activities all the time, like bingo, people who come in and play piano, crafts, and field trips. My dad is in a medium-sized, studio apartment and I like it a lot. I would suggest they improve their communication with the patients' families.

The people that work at Franciscan Court show compassion for their residents. The rooms are actually bigger than the one my parents had when they are in the independent living. They have a living room, dining room, refrigerator, microwave, and a large bathroom. They get three meals a day, and my parents love the food. They have board games, movie nights, and a library.

I couldn't be more pleased. The compassion and proffesionalism that the owners and the nursing staff provide for my uncle is outstanding. He is cared for like he is one of there own. The cost is very reasonable for the services the provide. They don't nickel and dime you for every little service that they provide, alot of it is included in the total monthly cost. I did not find another assisted living facility that did that. The facility is located very conviently near a busy intersection where there are a lot of businesses. Everything is not perfect. There are some issues with some CNA'S, but none of them are big, for the most part we , my uncle and I, are pleased with the CNA staff. I would recommend this facility for those who need some help. I would put another family member at this facility if the need arose.

We can't say enough good things about Franciscan Court. Our relative lived there for over 5 years. He was very happy there. He met many new friends. The staff was very good to him. He had his own studio apartment, which gave him his privacy when he wanted, and when he wanted to visit with other residents, there were many common areas where they could visit. He was always happy with the meals that were provided. He especially liked sitting by the pond and watching the fish. That was very peaceful. They have parties celebrating different occasions which all the residents really like. We would, and have, recommended this facility to anyone who is looking for a place for a loved one.
