I had heard wonderful things about Franklin Grove and recently my dad was involved in a car accident. We were lucky enough to have him placed here. The staff has been so kind and caring. They have treated him with respect and have gone out of their way to make him feel that they are here to help him achieve his goal of getting back home. they are very knowledgeable and patient answering all his questions and mine. it's wonderful to see such organization and attention to details. This facility is so clean and set up like a warm, friendly welcoming facility.

I chose to come to Franklin Grove for therapy because my girlfriend is a resident here. The staff are kind and caring to her that I would receive the same treatment. I was right. Housekeeping never misses my room. The food is good and hot. I enjoy that I can eat with my girlfriend. I have been here a week and like everyone so far. Come here if you need to get stronger!
