Monique is barely there. It seems like her and her assistant who is also her sister, Ashley, are always gone out of the building together. When Monique is there, she’s very condescending and dismissive. Most of the positive reviews are their family. The care staff try their best but seem to have little to no support.

My mother loves this place. She is 95 years old and needs assistance with daily tasks like, dressing, showering, laundry etc. The staff here is friendly, caring and helpful. She has met other residents and formed friendships with many of them. She particularly likes going to the dining room where she says the food is great and she enjoys spending time visiting with other residents. There are lots of other activities to become involved with and entertainment is often brought in for additional fun times. This place has been a blessing for the family as well. We know that Mom is well cared for and happy in her new home. Would highly recommend Villa St. Francis.

The Best Choice for My Family<br><br>Moving my dad into a long-term care facility was a difficult decision, but Ascension Living St. Francis Place has exceeded all our expectations. The staff are always accessible, making sure that both residents and families feel very supported. My dad has received the best medical care, delicious meals, and plenty of opportunities to stay active and social. The kindness and dedication of the team are evident in everything they do From the Administrator who was very hands on to the CNA’s. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for quality care for their loved ones.
