Independent Living

At a Franciscan Communities' independent living facility, your dream of a relaxed, worry-free senior lifestyle can become a reality.

For active seniors, retirement living at a Franciscan Community means a spacious new home, unparalleled hospitality, and numerous activities and amenities for you to enjoy every day. It means making new friends and learning new skills in a community with a friendly, welcoming spirit — and the communal faith that only a Franciscan community can provide. It also means the comfort of maintenance-free independent living, where raking leaves, shoveling snow and general home repairs are a thing of the past — and that you are well taken care of.

Each Franciscan active adult retirement community offers residents the freedom of independent living, in the privacy of the new home or apartment of your choice — along with the added convenience, security and peace of mind that are included. At a Franciscan Community CCRC, you are able to enjoy life to its fullest, and to choose the lifestyle that truly suits you. Learn more about our independent living communities in your area today.

Assisted Living

Franciscan Communities' caring, individualized approach to assisted living services is based on a people-centered philosophy.

For someone who is having difficulty living independently, yet doesn't quite need 24-hour care and medical supervision, assisted living is the ideal solution. At Franciscan Communities, we believe that assisted living means you should be able to continue to enjoy doing what you want, when you want — and receive the daily assistance and compassionate care you need, as you need it.

If you or a loved one requires assistance with bathing, dressing, medication reminders, housekeeping and other activities of daily living, a Franciscan Assisted Living Community can help ensure their everyday needs are met, while preserving their independence and dignity. With wonderful adult retirement community assisted living options offered by Franciscan Communities around the Midwest, you're sure to find just the right fit your individual needs.

Skilled Nursing

Are you or someone you love in need of skilled nursing, medical care, or rehabilitation services?

A Franciscan Community skilled nursing facility can provide 24-hour support and quality medical attention through personalized skilled nursing care programs. With every patient, maintaining dignity and sense of well-being is our number one priority. And while healing the body, mind and soul with our compassionate skilled nursing care, we also work to enrich the quality of one's life.

Learn more about how Franciscan skilled nursing can help you or someone you love live a more comfortable and fulfilling life today.

Alzheimer's / Dementia Care

Alzheimer's care continues to become a growing concern in America. An estimated 5.4 million currently people suffer from this devastating disease, and at Franciscan Communities, we specialize in caring for their unique needs.

Alzheimer's is a brain disease that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Memory impairments like this and other forms of dementia can place a tremendous burden on family members who are attempting to provide the necessary care for their loved one. But you are not alone. At Franciscan Communities, we utilize the latest techniques and research in our Alzheimer's care approach to ensure your loved ones' needs are met.

In our Alzheimer's care facility, your loved one enjoys the comforts of daily routines, as well as social, spiritual and recreational activities, coupled with the attention of our dedicated, trained associates. We offer 24-hour care, security and an emergency call system, so you can rest comfortably knowing that we're attending to your loved one's every need, every day — and provide you and your family the peace of mind you need.

Adult Day Care

Adult day care may seem like a strange concept at first ... but adult day care services are very common for those who need additional daily care, but are not quite ready to make the move to an adult retirement community.

If you have come to realize that your loved one is in need of some daily supportive services, then adult day care from Franciscan Communities could be the ideal solution for you. Many families today are simply too busy to watch a parent or relative full-time, but still desire their loved one to receive the additional care they need. And when 24-hour care is not a concern, making the move into an adult retirement community may not be the answer.

This dilemma isn't new to us. We offer adult day care services that are not only affordable, but have also been designed to maintain and improve your loved one's level of functioning and independence. Our adult day care programs address their emotional, social, recreational, intellectual, spiritual and physical needs. And you'll find that a Franciscan adult day care facility can provide you with the peace of mind you need to know all of your loved ones' needs are being met — and they are receiving the compassionate daily care they deserve.

Hospice

Franciscan Communities' hospice offers a compassionate and supportive team of professionals to help you and your family in your most critical time of need.

Our hospice care emphasizes pain management and comfort, so that you and your family can actively participate in personal care decisions. Our dedicated team of nurses, home health aides, social services, pastoral care services, volunteers and your physician work together with you and your family to develop a supportive hospice care environment. At Franciscan Communities' hospice, we willingly extend our compassion to you and your family to help you cope with end of life issues such as grief and loss, spiritual counseling and personal care.

Rehab Services

Rehabilitation services can be vital to helping in recovery from an accident, surgery, stroke or other illness.

It is not uncommon for someone in this situation to feel discouraged or afraid they may not fully recover to their former self. Fortunately, you can count on the care of Franciscan Communities' social and rehab services to assist you or your loved one along the entire path to recovery. Our experienced and licensed health care professionals will work with your physician in a coordinated effort to meet your needs, each step of the way.

Franciscan Communities' state-of-the-art rehabilitation facilities provide a comfortable, healing environment while you receive instruction and direction from members of our highly trained and compassionate staff. Our rehabilitation services include a variety of physical, occupational and speech therapies, as well as an array of helpful programs, including incontinence, wound care and SeniorFITness, our signature senior wellness program.
