What a wonderful, caring loving place. The Nuns and Caretakers really care about the residents. Lots of activities to keep them busy and my sister loves to go to Mass twice a day even though she isn’t Catholic. I highly recommend St. Francis Assisted Living Home In Santa Ana, CA. It was a blessing we found St. Francis.

The sisters here are amazing! We attend daily mass in their beautiful chapel. The priests are reverent and humble. The elderly ladies seem to really like it here. This place is a gem.

Mom is very happy here. The Sisters are so caring and generous with affection and support. While not a nursing facility, they do administrate meds and really try to provide the necessary and desired dietary needs. They have daily Mass and rosaries, regular activities and frequent musical visitors. A great value, and they are very responsive to family visitors and advocates. What a blessing.
