My father was at Franciscan Manor for almost a year (late April 2025 - mid April 2026), until we moved him closer to home. Franciscan Manor is a lovely setting and probably great for assisted living residents who are mobile and can advocate for themselves. Once my father was wheelchair bound and then bed bound due to strokes, it was a totally different story. It took a long time for anyone to answer his call button, he was not given enough water during the day to stay hydrated, and he was left sitting in a chair or on the bed for hours with no one checking in to see if he needed anything. After he was put on hospice, he was mostly ignored by the regular staff and was not repositioned enough to prevent horrible bedsores and a deep tissue wound, of which the family was unaware. We were told he had two minor sores that were being treated. I was deeply saddened at the poor treatment I witnessed during Dad's last weeks at Franciscan Manor. I would never put a loved one in that facility if they had mobility issues or needed help transferring from the bed to a chair.
