As I first visited they were renovating the exterior and landscape refresh and I found that to be so important. Residents get to look out their windows and enjoy something fresh and beautiful to look at. Other first impressions were multiple air filtration systems outside the doors of every room. Not sure if that was a 'leftover' from COVID kind of thing or what - but I liked it. Shared rooms were small and good to know is only two visitors at a time. It's hard to imagine it but the reason is purely for function. Placing 3 chairs around I think would be very difficult to navigate anymore. Luckily for those who might not like shared rooms - singles are available. If you've been saving money all your life and here - this might just be the time to spend a little extra if you don't like people around. My friend's neighbor was a pleasant person - and that's what I've found going to these types of places - its not bad to have another nearby... If your friend or family member is here its your job to visit. People make up excuses and there really is no excuse. I was able to slip in 30 minutes before closing after work and anybody can do that. I think visitors are an important part of recovery. You can't visit your friend or your mom? Just keep the excuses to yourself I don't want to hear it.

The facility itself is nestled in the general neighborhood. Parking is simple as they have a large lot in the back. Upon entry, the area it bright and clean. Each room is alway clean and the building is properly staffed. In fact the staffing to resident ratio seem great. There is always someone to ask for help when necessary. Meals are complete and has a good variety. Caretaking of the patients is on schedule and the staff are friendly. The level of engagement with the patient is also great. My dad's mental state is diminished, but the stuff still finds ways to interact with him. I often visit my dad and find that he is in a group activity that ranges from bingo, karaoke, and watching movies to name a few. I want to give a shout out to our case manager, Cynthia, who is always supportive and respond quickly to questions that we may have. Also to my dads physical therapist, Dominic, who always have a friendly demeanor, understanding tone, supportive nature, and most importantly patience to try and get my dad back to baseline. We also sincerely appreciate all the care and attentiveness to all the nurses that provides care to my dad around-the-clock. I know the staff is always watching because I get a phone call every my dad falls. I highly recommend St. Francis to anyone who needs to seek out a care facility.

Every staff member-- the doctor, nurses, CNAs, physical therapists and office staffs, has shown genuine care and professionalism. The doctor checks on him several times a week.

The dietitian and kitchen staff work tother to thoughtfully adjust the meal plan to meet my dad's special needs. Physical therapists are excellent. They approach each session with patience, encouragement, and deep expertise, helping my father regain strength step by step. Most importantly, the entire staff -- from management to clinical teams -- is caring and easy to communicate with. We are truly grateful for the compassion and teamwork here. As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to thank the St. Francis team and wish you all a joyful and restful holiday!

He's talks at you and not to you, he talks down to you, makes empty threats, he assumes EVERYONE is on Medical, the tone he speaks to you is very undermining. Needless to say, I'm VERY displeased Very about the series of events that has happened since my Uncle has been a patient here. My uncle broke his femur bone, so needless to say he's very dependent on staffing until he's completely rehabilitated. He's been a patient for 16 days (as of today)

After having been here for six months, the only redeeming service they offer is excellent physical…read moretherapy. The food was represented to us by a pretty young sales person as "chef inspired". The food was decent the first few weeks, even showing some creativity. Over the last four weeks it has rapidly declined, in pallatability, quantity and nutritional content. The meals are lacking in protein and fresh fruit and vegetables. The meals depend on a lot of frozen prepared items, like frozen breaded fish, and primarily canned vegetables and fruits. Sandwiches made with packaged lunch meats and salty cheeses are substituted if you decline a meal. You're absolutely required to take vitamin supplements. Meals are high in sugar, salt, carbohydrates with little regard for personal needs or preferences. They promote themselves as giving excellent wound care, but are reluctant to purchase wound care items that might seem too pricey. I've been trying for two weeks to get a medicated numbing spray to ease in the painful procedure I'm put through daily. The facility had a recent change in Administrators, and while the previous administrator was largely ineffective in making a lot of changes, under the current administrator of about a month, there seem to be fewer CNAs on duty, more CNAs and nurses working double shifts and not up to their usual efficiency, and poorer quality meals. The current administrator hasn't even made the time to introduce himself to the residents leaving one to wonder if he's leveraging patient care against budget constraints. Or maybe he's just not interested. Don't leave your loved one here unless you're prepared to advocate and participate in their care.

3/5 Stars (Could Have Been Higher)…read more I was 40 years old when I stayed here, and by far the youngest resident. My roommate was close to 80 years old, which made for an interesting experience. Despite our age difference, I came to respect and admire him. What kept this from being a 5-star review was the food, the uncomfortable bed, the very small shared rooms, my television being much smaller and positioned much closer to the bed than my roommate's, and the nighttime noise. Some residents struggled with mental health or other conditions, and there were nights when patients would yell, making it difficult to sleep. I ended up staying for eight nights and nine days. Looking back, I believe another two or three days would have benefited my recovery, as I was still struggling with significant pain and difficulty walking when I was discharged. Although my insurance covered my stay, I felt that my Kaiser representative was too eager to move me out and didn't fully appreciate the severity of my condition. Unfortunately, that reminded me of my initial visit just days before I ended up in the emergency room, when I was only prescribed ibuprofen despite the pain I was experiencing. Some fellow patients encouraged me to appeal the discharge decision and fight to stay longer. However, I was physically exhausted, emotionally vulnerable, and simply didn't have the strength to advocate for myself at that point. In hindsight, I think a more formal discharge meeting that included me in the decision-making process would have been the better approach. Even if the outcome had been the same, I would have felt that my concerns and readiness to leave had been fully considered. That said, there were many positives. The staff, for the most part, were attentive, compassionate, and genuinely cared about the patients. I did have one negative experience with a staff member who fit every stereotype of someone who shouldn't be working in healthcare. I emailed the administrator about my concerns, and to his credit, he came to my bedside almost immediately, shook my hand, listened to me respectfully, and removed that employee from my wing. I appreciated how seriously he took my concerns. The physical therapy team was outstanding. They welcomed me from day one, even though I was hesitant to socialize because I was overwhelmed, heavily medicated, and had just been discharged from the emergency room. Their encouragement and professionalism played a huge role in my recovery. I was admitted after my back suddenly gave out to the point where I couldn't walk. At my lowest moment, I truly feared I might never walk again. Being surrounded by others who were also fighting their own battles gave me perspective and gratitude. I realized how fortunate I was to have the insurance and benefits that allowed me to recover in a facility like this. The location was also convenient, making it easy for family, friends, and coworkers to visit me during a difficult time. While there are definitely areas that need improvement, especially the food, sleeping accommodations, and room setup, the caring staff, excellent therapy team, and responsive administration made a difficult chapter in my life much more manageable.
