My dad spent 2 months here and he received excellent care. All the staff was so kind and caring. They ordered him special utensils to eat! I knew my dad was in good hands during his stay here. The physical therapy team was patient and worked with him often. I’m so appreciative of the staff that made sure my dad was taken care of.

My mother recently stayed at Franciscan and overall had a wonderful experience. Nurses Nazima and Rashpal were amazing and took excellent care of her. I would have loved to leave a full 5-star review; however, my mother did have a negative experience with one of her aides, Aliya. She mentioned that the aide entered the room with a strong odor of marijuana, refused to assist her to the bathroom, and instead encouraged her to use her brief. She also had a noticeably poor attitude when asked to help with simple tasks. Aside from that, the care she received was great, and we would still recommend Franciscan.

About this data
How to read this page
Star ratings vs. Care Quality Score: The Google star rating reflects visitor and family opinions collected from public reviews. The Care Quality Score is an independent metric derived entirely from federal inspection data — the two measure different things, and comparing them side-by-side gives a fuller picture.
Where this data comes from
All clinical data on this page originates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that certifies and inspects every Medicare- and Medicaid-participating nursing home in the United States. Reviews are imported verbatim from public Google business listings.
What to do next
Data is a starting point, not a final answer. We encourage families to visit facilities in person, observe daily routines, and speak with staff and residents. See our guide: Questions to Ask When Visiting →
