The Zion

The Zion sits quietly in a country setting on Fort Creek Road in Franklinton, NC, providing a small, family-style assisted living and board and care home for up to four residents, making it feel much like living in a homelike retreat tucked inside a close-knit community, and you'll see how they shape their days around who lives there, with each person getting care for daily needs such as bathing, dressing, medication help, and mobility. Folks at The Zion can take part in scheduled activities right on-site and go to off-site devotional services if they wish, while the property offers a mix of indoor and outdoor common areas for either relaxing with friends or stretching out and enjoying the garden, plus there's always space to gather or sit quietly, and some floor plans even include full tubs and handicap-accessible features so everyone can feel comfortable. The Zion's team, led by Ricki Croll, RN, who has over 15 years of experience, tries to know every resident well, meeting individual needs each day, and the facility provides meals with freshly prepared food, including diets for diabetes and other conditions, while memory care, incontinence care, high acuity medical care, and hospice services are all available as people need. Residents have access to home health care, long-term skilled nursing, respite care, and adult day programs, and staff arrange transportation for medical appointments, errands, or outings, so no one feels stuck or left out; for pets, the home is pet-friendly, making it easier for older adults to keep important companions nearby. Each person lives in a private, fully furnished room with Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and a telephone system, so you can stay connected with loved ones and the outside world, and the whole place offers regular linen service, housekeeping, and help with all sorts of chores. Folks can enjoy daily or community-sponsored activities, and the atmosphere stays easygoing, friendly, and supervised at all hours, with memory care and Alzheimer's care available for those who need extra support. Physical and occupational therapy are offered, and people can see a beautician or barber onsite, with the aim of helping everyone feel their best. Resident parking is available, and the staff manages move-in coordination to make the transition simpler. The Zion is operated by Hampton House as a family-owned and operated facility, where everyone aims to respect the personality and background of each person, helping residents form friendships and maintain independence for as long as possible.
