Franciscan Villa

Franciscan Villa offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing care all in one place, so folks can get more help as they need it, and the place has around-the-clock nursing staff and care, which helps families feel a bit more at ease, and the building sits on scenic grounds with windows that look out on well-kept lawns and even a pond with a gazebo, and there are walking paths for stretching your legs. Rooms come in many styles, including companion suites, studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, all with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and cable television outlets, plus every room has its own controls for heat and air, which is nice. Community spaces include lounges, a general store, a TV room for movie nights, a dedicated arts room, a library, a fitness and wellness center, and a spa, so there's always something to do or a quiet spot to sit. Residents can take part in arts and crafts, bingo, dance and exercise classes, museum tours, bridge groups, and activities like fishing at the pond, and creative activities suggested by residents often show up, which keeps things interesting. Franciscan Villa serves meals in a communal dining room with open dining and menu choices, and also offers guest meals, regular drink and snack times, along with weekly housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled transportation for shopping or outings. The facility provides all sorts of care services, including medication management, personal grooming, bathing, help with dressing, diabetic care, and incontinence care, and there's a 24-hour call system so help is always a button away. Skilled nursing, post-acute care, rapid recovery suites, occupational and physical therapy, plus memory care and Alzheimer's services are all available, and the nursing home section has certified beds and accepts Medicare and Medicaid, which can help with costs. The community offers spiritual care, with daily Mass and rosary, devotional services, and they also help veterans get VA aid and financial guidance, and no pets are allowed in the facility, though pet therapy visits do happen from time to time. The staff includes nurses available at all hours and trained help for memory and behavioral needs, and the activity staff tends to keep up a steady schedule throughout the week, so there's usually something going on or someone to visit with in the lounges. The campus is licensed under CC7202 and aims to offer all the basics to let seniors focus on living how they want, whether they need only a little help or more advanced care.
