Overall Review of Franklin Nursing Home

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Care and safety feel inconsistent

Several residents’ family members report serious care and safety breakdowns during short and longer stays.

Some reviews describe medical and safety failures, including complications with a PEG tube, delays or confusion around responses after falls, and patients left in distress. Other comments also point to day-to-day neglect concerns such as delayed cleaning, missed hygiene, and lack of follow-through when families try to get help. Taken together, these accounts consistently raise doubts about reliability and attention to details of care.

Families struggle reaching staff

Communication and scheduling can be hard for families, with reports of long waits and difficulty setting appointments.

Multiple reviews say it takes a long time to reach someone for health or care-related issues. Others describe difficulty getting doctors appointments arranged, problems scheduling supervised visit appointments, and situations where calls, voicemails, or emails went unanswered. A few accounts connect these communication gaps to slow decisions about care and responsiveness.
