Because St Francis is a bit smaller than other Assisted Living locations, I feel the entire staff working there feel closer to the residents and see them more as individual people and they treat them more personal with more understanding of the residents.

My dear friend was a resident at St. Francis. I was with him everyday for about three months. During that time I observed nothing but competency, compassion, and kindness from all staff, especially the beautiful sisters. The facility is spotless and there is the opportunity for residents to engage in a variety of activities all day, everyday. My niece, who as geriatric psychiatrist in Florida has extensive experiences with nursing homes, said St. Francis was by far the best she had seen. She was particularly impressed with the mental stimulation offered and the cleanliness of the facility. I don't have enough wonderful things to say about this amazing place. God bless you Sisters and assist you in your ministry.
