My mother is in the assisted living of St. Francis Woods. They serve three meals a day and she has her own apartment with her own furniture. They have different activities, the place is very nice, and everyone seems really nice there. Mom seems to like it there. The staff is doing just great. She's in a studio apartment, but they also had variety of rooms like a one-bedroom apartment. They have a beauty shop, a little store, a very big TV where they can watch movies or entertainment almost every day, they have music brought in like karaoke or entertainers, and they have parties. It's pretty active there. Sometimes the staff is helpful, and sometimes they're not because they're busy. There's probably never enough staff members for a place like this since they have about a hundred or more residents. They have CNAs there to help, but they can take your food to your room if you don't want to go down to eat, and then at 2:00 they have snacks. I'm not crazy about the food, although they have quite a variety. My mother doesn't like the food too much, but it's not too bad; in my husband's previous community the food was a lot worse.

St. Francis Woods was very dark and dingy. It's a very old facility. The walls were dark, and the lighting was bad. The carpeting and the flooring, everything was dark. It just seemed very gloomy. The residents that we made contact with were very upbeat and happy, so that said something. However, they need to paint their walls white and get some bright lights in, then it would be good. The staff members were very nice, very courteous, and very friendly, though. They had areas for the residents ...

St. Francis Woods is an older structure. It's like a series of buildings on land that is not perfectly level. The interior of the main hallway where you go from one building to the next building to the next building, they have ramps. For somebody like me, it was okay, but my thinking was, for somebody that's using a walker, it should not be that way. They should have elevators. I did not like the idea of a ramp being inside that building. They gave us a tour of a room. I don't think that there w...

St. Francis Woods was the best thing that could have happened to my parents. My father lived there for a short time before he passed away, then my mom continued to live there. I tell all my friends that they need that kind of service for their family. I highly recommend them. It is not a fancy place, but we have been in some of the ones that were aesthetically very pleasing and looked very luxurious, but the staff didn't necessarily care in some of those places. You couldn't find a more caring...

I've been very pleased with St. Francis Woods. My mom loves it there. I've always found all of the nurses, CNAs, and all of the employees to be very friendly and always very caring for the residents. I've always heard them speaking very nicely, polite, and kind to them. Adrianne in particular, I dealt with her a lot, nothing major, some concerns of mom, and Adrienne was absolutely wonderful. She's wonderful dealing with the relatives of the residents, and she's fantastic with the residents thems...

I really like St. Francis Woods. It's a nice place. My cousin has adjusted very well with it. There has been quite a few employee turnovers, but lately there hasn't been a lot. He really likes the food. They also do all kinds of activities like arts and crafts. Jimmy can draw really good and he does a lot of drawing. The place is very nice since they remodel like a year ago.

The first time I went to St. Francis Woods was during the week after work, and the staff was really very nice. I excited and thought it would be OK. They had a bird sanctuary and a plant room. However, my mom and I went there on a weekend, and it was not good. A gentleman visitor came to visit a residents, and he said the "f" word, like a greeting. It was kind of inappropriate to use that kind of language, and the staff did not address him at all. Before we left, one lady who was living there wa...
