Franklin House sits in Fond du Lac, WI, and has room for up to 17 residents in a cozy, comfortable setting with private or semi-private spaces, such as studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and rooms with kitchenettes, where each room comes furnished with cable TV, Wi-Fi, phone, and helpful safety features. The staff at Franklin House includes caregivers trained in assisted living and memory care, and there's always somebody around day and night for emergencies or daily help, even when a resident needs someone to help them move from bed to wheelchair, dress, take a bath, manage medications, or get some grooming. The community offers special programs for Alzheimer's, dementia, developmentally disabled, and those struggling with mental illness, plus options for folks who are mostly independent but need a little help with day-to-day tasks.
Franklin House cooks up three homemade meals a day, served in the community dining room, and will adjust meals for anyone with food allergies or health needs, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Housekeeping, linen changes, laundry, dry cleaning, and even money management help all come standard, while medication management, diabetic monitoring, and non-ambulatory care are available. Franklin House also arranges transportation to doctor's visits or church and offers move-in help for new residents.
For recreation and staying social, folks can choose from daily activities like fitness, crafts, music, art, or game nights. There's a cozy lounge, reading room, game room, courtyard, and safe garden area. Movie nights, community events, and spiritual or devotional gatherings happen regularly, and the staff encourages making friends and getting involved. There's a hair salon and barbershop, fitness center, steam room, and Jacuzzi to keep residents comfortable and active. Memory care programs include secure outdoor areas for safe time outside and well-trained staff nearby. The grounds have walking paths, a yard, and outdoor areas for everyone to enjoy, and indoor spaces for chatting and relaxing. Franklin House provides personal and medical care that fits each person's needs, so people can stay as independent as possible while getting help when needed. The facility welcomes both long-term stays and short-term respite care.
