Franciscan Communities, Inc

The staff are all very friendly and courteous. Going off of what my dad says about the food. the portions are not big enough and the dining area is only open for an hour. The elderly need more time to eat.

Food is delicious ??. Lots of change over in staff(I think common anywhere). Wonderful activity director. She works to keep all happy and include families. She has been there a real long time. It's real clean and presents well. Lots of amenities. They shop for folks or take them shopping three days a week and it's free transportation anywhere.

My husband had therapy following a fall. He came home a different person physically. He recently had surgery and is back for more therapy. I am so relieved and thrilled that he has been able to return. The therapy is fantastic. Great, kind and caring staff. We have confidence that he will return with the excellent results he had previously. If you or a loved one needs nursing/therapy care consider St. Joseph.

The caring loving staff you could wish for. Meals catered for needs. Huge value for cost. I highly recommend Astral.

We chose The Village at Mercy Creek based on the fact of it being Franciscan, since my mom is catholic. It has overall been a great experience and I would recommend the facility to those looking for assisted living.

My loved one is currently a resident at Astral at Auburn and the experience has been great for her so far. She doesn't participate in the activities, yet. Everything else has been great. I would recommend this facility to others.

I picked it because staff was awesome and it was close to me. I would recommend it to friends.

Perfect

Everything we have experienced has been wonderful. This community was chosen primarily because it is a Catholic community. But, I must add, there are people who aren't Catholic that live there.

I would definitely recommend the assisted living. Smaller --1st floor residents. The 2nd floor is retired nuns residents. Dining room is shared by both 1st and 2nd floor at different times. They have an onsite chef and a nice variety of food to choose from. Plenty of activities, if they choose to participate. There is a chapel in the same building. For Catholics, it is a perfect location.

Staff is very helpful. If you need anything special ask and they can help or tell you how to get the help you need. In picking a facility, we went with staff that answered all our questions. Cleanliness and location. Also the size of apartment unit and housekeeping(2 x monthly)they do a excellent job about 1 1/2 hours. I would recommend Marian, that's the place that worked the best for what we needed.

All fives. The aides in particular were outstanding! Kind and compassionate day after day ( I was there almost every day) while dealing with an oftentimes difficult patient population. Their kindness was extended to me every day I was there. Having worked in health care for 35 years I was truly impressed by these wonderful women and men who cared for my husband.

All of the staff at Village at Mercy Creek are thoughtful, kind and attentive. I would recommend them to others looking for assisted living.

The staff members are very helpful and kind to the residents/family here. It is hard to find compassion in healthcare. The staff acts professionally and tries to keep the residents entertained throughout the day.

Addolorata Villa is a wonderful place for seniors to call home. It is a faith filled community that welcomes all to be part of the community. Loving well manicured lawns and gardens make for a tranquil setting. The staff is experienced and friendly.

I brought my Mom to Addolorata Villa in Wheeling after a near death experience while living in her home. She was discharged from the hospital to Addolorata Villa for rehabilitation. She was well cared for and nursed back to health. I am very grateful to the staff at Addolorata Villa.

I have had acquaintances, friends, and relatives live at “The Villa” over the years. It is a close knit community and the consistency of staff and the quality of care are big differentiators in a crowded market. Big thumbs up!

We needed to find a facility for a rehab stay for my Aunt after an extended hospital stay. She, like many others, is independent and still in her own home, although with the help of come and go aides. A neighbor of mine mentioned Addolorata Villa and we are so glad she told us about it! Everyone at The Villa made my Aunt and our entire family welcome! It was so good to see my Aunt go from an “unhappy to be there resident” to someone who started going to and enjoying the activities. She received great care and was ready to manage at home when discharged. She has had a total of 3 rehab stays at The Villa and we are comforted knowing we will always have a place for her to live once she cannot be at home anymore. I almost forgot to mention they have a church right in the center, which was a huge plus!

Every time I visit I’m greeted by the kindest most caring staff! This makes a world of a difference when visiting my mom can be stressful at times so seeing all their smiling faces helps! I would recommend Addolorata Villa to anyone looking for their friends or family members!

My mother lived at the Villa for several months, first in rehabilitation and then had her own apartment. She was not easy to please but the team there did their best to keep her safe, happy and healthy. They became our second family and we will always be grateful.
