Overall Review of St. Francis Assisted Care
common
21 reviews mention this
Staff care and responsiveness stand out
Residents and families consistently describe caring, responsive staff interactions.
Across reviews, families say staff members are friendly, patient, and supportive day to day, including during harder stretches like recovery and end-of-life care. Many reviewers also mention communication that feels proactive, such as contacting families about issues and following up promptly when concerns come up. A few reviews take the opposite view, describing staffing gaps or sloppy handoffs, but most comments emphasize that staff are present and engaged with residents.

Food earns mixed but pointed feedback
Dining receives both praise and complaints, especially around food quality and dietary fit.
Several families say meals are substantial and that the community works with dietary needs, including vegetarian diets and other special requirements. Some residents also report that chef-prepared meals look and taste good. At the same time, a cluster of reviews is sharply negative about food quality, describing meals as unappetizing or poorly prepared, which stands in contrast to the more positive dining comments.

Activities and engagement vary by reviewer
Residentsâ engagement is a recurring theme, with both active programming and room to improve.
Many reviews describe an activities-focused environment, including regular group activities and spaces where residents can draw or socialize, plus music and community events. Some families say staff did a strong job keeping residents involved. Others note fewer activities than expected, so the day-to-day variety appears to depend on the resident and the timing of the visit.

Facility condition and cleanliness are debated
Cleanliness and upkeep are inconsistent across reviews, with some severe complaints.
Some families describe the building as older but updated, with rooms that look clean and cared for. Others report cleanliness problems, including filthy spaces they observed and concerns about damaged or poorly maintained areas. Even among the more neutral takes, there are mentions of cleaning that did not feel thorough enough, which helps explain why cleanliness is a dividing line in reviews.

6 reviews mention this
Supervision and staffing feel inconsistent
Several reviews raise concerns about staffing levels and timely help when issues arise.
A number of reviews describe times when staffing did not feel sufficient for residentsâ needs, including concerns about supervision during day-to-day routines. There are also specific complaints about what happened after a fall and the lack of communication to families until later. Those concerns are not universal, but they recur enough to stand out alongside the more positive caregiving comments.
caveat
7 reviews mention this
Price value vs. added cost concerns
Pricing is described as either good value or too high, depending on the reviewer.
Some families emphasize value, including a locked rate and an expectation that costs wonât escalate after move-in, plus confidence that care needs are covered in a straightforward way. Other reviews criticize rising prices without corresponding improvements, and a few say the community feels overpriced relative to cleanliness and food quality. This split lines up with how strongly the reviews differ on condition, dining, and staffing.
