This place used to be great. New facility, great staff, great food and amenities. Then it was bought out by another corporation. Away went the great staff. Away went the great food and the amenities changed. The price, it went up. When there is an issue with the facility no one calls. I found out when I visited my family member and found them living in one third the space due to a water leak. It's been that way for weeks now. When I asked about an adjustment to the high rent no one wanted to address it. Good service went from an open bistro on the first floor that used to serve multiple things to not much to choose from and limited operating hours. The main dining room went from restaurant style service with a wide variety of items to a buffet line with a few items and not a lot of variation on it. Your rent includes a food service amount for each month. It's a use it or lose it option. They make a lot of money from it as the food service is non existent and so limited that most folks are cooking their own food now. Every visit I hear about how poor the food quality is from lots of residents. My other disappointment is the push from the management at Christmas time that each resident should provide a $1000 or more as a tip to the staff. The maid barely does anything for my family member. I've had to clean the toilets, shower etc. The maid does change the sheets and lightly dust the floor. It's wrong to ask the people you're charging upwards of $7000 pretty month to pay extra because they won't provide a better wage to their employees. The folks that work there are nice enough but the limitations now out weigh the costs. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone now unlike in the past when I recommended it to everyone. They're a corporation mind set that's only interested in the money they can make off the elderly.

I am/was a resident of this facility

I live in Somerby Franklin right now. I love it. I just can't afford to stay here. I love the staff. They're great, except for the people who clean the rooms. The cleaning isn't so great. The rooms are great. I took a bigger space than I need, so I'm in a two-bedroom and I only need a one-bedroom. I anticipated much more company that I'm getting. The food is great. We have a wonderful chef here. There's a pool, a library, a gym, and a card room where people play cards. The biggest thing for me is the residents that I've met here. I'm an outgoing people person and I found some very good people who click with me.

Somerby Franklin is lovely, very welcoming, very attractive, and easy to access. The one disadvantage is that they do not have skilled nursing, so for someone who is looking for a life care community, they would not be a good choice. But the people were delightful, and the apartment that we saw was lovely. The amenities seemed to be fine. They are very similar to other assisted living communities in the area but very nice. We enjoyed our visit. We only saw one apartment, and it was furnished. It was a one-bedroom. It would have been difficult for me to accommodate my needs in that particular unit because it does not have a separate space for an office. It could have worked marginally, but beautiful space. It was a one-bedroom with a big closet, a nice sized bathroom, and a nice patio. This was on the first floor. It had a lovely kitchen, which is a big deal for me, I need to have a full kitchen, and this one was very nice. It would have been advantageous if they have had pullouts on the lower cabinets. When I built my house, I had pullout shelves made because older people have difficulty getting down on their knees and getting back up again, and to have a pullout shelf in the lower cabinets allows you to use all of the space, and that would be something that I think any assisted living place ought to include in their independent living space. The amenities were good. They had a pool, they had multiple activities, they had a dining room, and they had a snack bar place. I was not particularly interested in looking at any amenities other than a pool because I have a lot of outside interest now. So I'm not as concerned with whether they have card games or bridge games or that sort of thing during the week. They seemed to have a very good selection, but I didn't focus on that. The sales representative that we talked to was lovely. She was very responsive. I had sent a questionnaire in advance to answer some questions that are not addressed in brochure information, and she replied very quickly with very complete answers and was open to any comments that I made. She was a delightful lady to work with. The upkeep and maintenance looked good as far as I know. It was very attractive. It seemed to be clean. It looked very nice, it was clean, and seemed to be well cared for.

AVOID. Beautiful facility, looks nice, but they have zero care for your loved one. I have pictures of loved one (immobile) laying on floor in their room with staff sleeping. Or arriving in the morning to find loved one soaked in urine and dry fesses. Personal items stolen over and over again. Management not returning calls. The sales visit was wonderful, showing nice facility and everyone smiles and is very friendly. Until you sign up. Run the other way.

My mother lived at Somerby Franklin. It is brand new and like a 5-star hotel. It's beautiful, and they gave excellent care. I was very happy for my mom. They had lots of activities and made sure everyone was included and invited. It was the best of the best. The dining area was beautiful, and the bistro was excellent.

Somerby Franklin was great and everyone was really nice. Everything was very clean, and the lady I spoke with was amazing. The place was immaculate and the staff was super friendly. I actually spoke with someone from the memory care unit who was great. They were baking with the residents. Everything smelled very clean because it was very clean.
