Overall Review of Franklin Woods Center

common 37 reviews mention this

Staff warmth shows up often

Residents and visitors frequently describe staff as friendly and attentive.

A common thread in reviews is the way staff interact day to day. Many describe people as welcoming, kind, professional, and helpful, including during rehab and therapy. Several also mention staff members by role (nurses, aides, and therapists) in the context of making them feel comfortable or supported. A smaller number of reviews contrast that warmth with moments of poor responsiveness or communication.

common 29 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is a major talking point

Many reviewers highlight the facility’s cleanliness.

Multiple reviews describe the building as clean, well-kept, and organized during visits. Families also mention rooms and common areas looking tidy, and some specifically call out the cleanliness as a reason they were more comfortable. On the other hand, several negative reviews raise sanitation concerns—such as dirty rooms, smells, or patients left in soiled conditions—so cleanliness reads as inconsistent across experiences.

caveat 26 reviews mention this

Call-bell response draws complaints

Some reviews say help isn’t provided promptly.

Several reviews report delays after pressing the call button, sometimes describing waits lasting hours. A few also mention needing help with basic needs like bathing, toileting, wound-related needs, or medication timing, and then feeling that staff did not respond quickly enough. There are also reviews about phone or communication problems that made follow-up difficult. Other reviews do say staff can be responsive when they arrive, which adds to the mixed picture.

caveat 22 reviews mention this

Care needs and ADLs are hit-or-miss

Reviews describe uneven assistance with daily care.

Beyond responsiveness, many negative comments focus on whether residents are getting the day-to-day help they need. Some reviews describe people left in soiled conditions, falls or inadequate support around mobility, and bathing or diapering not happening as expected. There are also concerns about medication timing and tracking, along with documentation or communication issues related to doctor visits and discharge. A smaller number of reviews say the rehab and therapy staff provided strong support, particularly for comfort and participation in activities.

caveat 14 reviews mention this

Food quality is a mixed review

Food gets mixed feedback, with several complaints about quality.

Dining shows up in both positive and negative reviews. Some people say the food is good or that residents enjoy meals, while others describe meals as poor quality, not warm, or served in ways that don’t meet expectations. A few reviews also tie food to broader concerns about basic care routines. Because the feedback varies, dining quality seems dependent on the reviewer’s specific experience.

caveat

Costs run high versus benchmarks

Pricing is substantially above county and state benchmarks across unit types.

Pricing information indicates the monthly rate is higher than both the county and state reference points for the listed unit types. The reviews provided focus more on care and daily experience than on cost, so pricing should be considered separately when comparing options.
