Overall Review of Franciscan Manor
common
Staff care gets frequent praise
Residents and families consistently describe kind, helpful staff.
Across many reviews, families say the staff members are kind, friendly, and responsive to day-to-day questions and needs. Several reviewers also mention the facility feeling clean and well maintained while they experienced staff support firsthand. A few reviews add that communication and follow-through were weaker at times, but the overall tone still centers on caring interactions.
common
Dining is a recurring highlight
Dining stands out, with residents often calling the food delicious.
Many reviewers praise the food as good, delicious, and well prepared, often referencing the dining room experience. Residents and families also mention dietary variety and a restaurant-style feel in the dining area. A minority of reviews criticize meals as cold or poorly prepared, including one review that says food quality worsened.
common
Activities keep residents engaged
Daily activities and entertainment are repeatedly mentioned by families.
Reviews frequently describe a full schedule of activities, entertainment, and social options, including things like bingo, exercise, cards, and live performances. Families also mention off-site outings and religious programming as part of the day-to-day offerings. Even reviewers who had other concerns often still point to activities as a bright spot.
caveat
Care quality depends on mobility
Some residents report delays or insufficient help when mobility is limited.
While many families describe good care, several reviews specifically criticize care during periods when residents were wheelchair bound, bed bound, or needed help with transfers. Those reviews describe long waits for call buttons, limited checking-in, and problems with turning or repositioning. Other reviews note short staffing as a factor, and a smaller number raise concerns related to dementia care training.
caveat
Pricing runs above benchmarks
Pricing is frequently described as high relative to expectations.
Residents and families sometimes frame the community as expensive, even when they also say the value matches the care and cleanliness they observed. The listed price range is also well above county and state benchmarks for both semi-private and studio options. Some reviews still recommend the community on value, but price comes through as a clear consideration.
