Overall Review of Franklin Hills Health & Rehab Center

common 22 reviews mention this

Care team is a clear strength

Residents and visitors repeatedly describe staff as friendly and caring.

Many reviewers mention staff as attentive, kind, and genuinely concerned about residents and visitors. Several specifically call out communication and responsiveness when problems come up, including arranging help quickly and treating people “like family.” Even among critical reviews, people often distinguish between caring CNAs and other issues, suggesting the care team—at least for some staff—matters to day-to-day experiences. For families, this shows up as feeling their loved one is being cared for.

common 4 reviews mention this

Therapy experiences stand out

Rehab and therapy are described positively by multiple reviewers.

Several residents and visitors praise rehabilitation therapy, including physical therapy and occupational therapy, for being effective and professional. A few reviews also mention social workers working as part of the therapy and support team with compassion. One reviewer describes an overall positive experience with PT/OT and notes the staff’s attitude toward clients, reinforcing that therapy time is a bright spot compared with other parts of the stay. At the same time, other reviews express staffing and care gaps, so therapy is not the only deciding factor for everyone.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Diet instructions can fall short

Residents describe dining problems tied to diet instructions and meal quality.

Some reviewers say the kitchen and care team do not consistently follow dietary directions, including instructions from clinicians and nutritionists. There are also complaints that meals are bland, not well-balanced, or sometimes inadequate in portions, along with claims of rotted or outdated food. A counterpoint appears in at least one review that credits management with an improvement toward more home-style food. Overall, dining experiences appear to vary enough that families focused on specific diets may want to confirm how instructions are handled during the stay.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Medication timing and call access concerns

Multiple reviews raise concerns about getting meds and help on time.

Several critical reviews focus on medication management, including late medication and concerns about medication releases and administration during stays. Others describe trouble getting the call button answered or difficulty reaching the facility by phone for extended periods. There are also accounts of delays in care around basic needs and monitoring, such as long periods without checks on a resident. Since the community is set up with a call system and medication management services, these reviews point to gaps in how those supports function day to day for some residents.

caveat 11 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is mixed across reviews

Reviews are split between praise for cleanliness and complaints about dirt and odor.

Many visitors describe the facility as clean, including comments about cleanliness on visits and good housekeeping during their time there. At the same time, multiple reviewers use much stronger language about the building being dirty, unclean, or having unpleasant odors. Some negative comments also mention residents not being groomed and the overall environment feeling rundown. Taken together, cleanliness appears to be inconsistent between experiences.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Activities and enrichment feel limited

Some reviewers say enrichment and activities are not consistently available.

A few reviews point out missing enrichment elements, including claims of no enrichment or welcome program. Another reviewer suggests that adding more activity options beyond therapy could improve comfort. There are also more positive notes that at least some activities are posted or visible to visitors during visits. Still, the limited-enrichment complaints are specific enough that families may want to ask what is actually scheduled and provided for residents during the week.
