Here’s what some of our residents are saying… "Life in this community can become just about as free and exciting as our available energy will allow." “We got to the point where we weren’t able to take care of a big home. We’ve always felt that this was the way to go, and believe it or not, we’ve been here now for over 15 years already.” "Having therapy in my home has let me be with my wife and in my own space.
It was great being able to help plan my exercise program." “My daughter-in-law called recently and I wasn’t home. She told my son 'Mom is out more often doing things more than she is at home, and what’s more is she doesn’t even have to put on her coat!'” “What brings you here is curiosity. What makes you stay is the friendliness and warmth of staff and residents.” “The people, the staff, the waiters, the clergy, the other residents, everyone seems to really enjoy it here. If you take advantage of what they offer here, you will have an amazingly happy home.” “Franciscan Community Services adult day care is a wonderful and flexible care option for our family. The compassionate staff members make my father feel welcome and respected. The social atmosphere has given my father an opportunity to share his experiences with others. When we come to the center, we know that my father’s needs will be met. More importantly, my father looks forward to attending.” “Someone put a sign up that said 'Success is easier to come by when it’s attitude more than ability' or something like that. That’s what I find is so nice around here. I really never knew the magnitude of a stroke, but there have been so many terrific people working here who’ve now helped me.” “I came here really hoping to find a place to work on my art paintings. There was a space across from where I lived and they converted it into a studio for me. I feel so good that I’m able to continue painting and I spend about three hours everyday doing it.” “When the weather’s nice I play golf five days a week. I’m on the course by 6am and done by 9:30 or 10am. That way, I still have my whole day ahead of me and there’s certainly a lot of entertaining things to do here.” “One thing that we’ve found is that our social life has improved drastically. We’ve met so many dear new friends.” “I really look forward to seeing the children from Holy Family Child Care every week. When we get together, we always have a lot of fun. Having the children on campus brings a lot of happiness to many people.” “I like the freedom of being able to go out on my own. You can’t help but feel good when you are getting up and about and doing things.” “Once we sold our house I felt like I was 18 again. No more responsibilities of having an old house deteriorating, no property and more time.” “I feel like I’m on vacation everyday!” “There are so many things to do here everyday that it’s becoming hard to get others to volunteer.” “My Mother has lived at three or four other communities and they were nothing like this. The staff knows everybody and there are activities on the calendar and they happen.” “I consider it like home since all the people help each other out. It’s like being at home and caring for your parents.” “A woman recently moved in here and said all the men here are gentlemen and they treat you with respect. She had been to three other communities, but never felt as good as she now feels here. That says a lot about living here.” “Mom spent a wonderful three years at the nursing facility with special daily care. Your staff is to be commended for a job well done in so many special ways. They care for the residents as if they were their own family. We are going to miss visiting with mom and we are also going to miss seeing your wonderful staff as well. God bless all of you and continue doing the job you are doing because you do it so well. You are all truly angels here on earth.” "I am amazed and pleased at how well the people work together in providing quality care." "My apartment is the ideal size for me. I know this is the place for me to be." “You feel like you’re taken care of yet you still have your freedom.” “I’ve been here since 1990 and “I feel happy to work with the Franciscans. They give me an opportunity to help the residents in a special way.” “I really like my job and the company is refreshing with their dedication to the associates and the residents.”
