St. Andrew's at Francis Place sits in a peaceful spot with beautiful views, and you'll notice the calm when you visit, and folks living there can get help with everyday things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and taking medicines, plus the staff keeps an eye on everyone day and night through a call system, and the place has nurses, aides, and even doctors and dental care who come by to take care of health needs, whether that's for short-term rehab or long-term skilled nursing or memory care. People who want some independence will find private or shared rooms that come furnished, with air conditioning, cable TV, WiFi, phone hookups, electric beds, and private bathrooms, and there's individual climate control, too, so each room stays just right, and housekeeping and laundry services come regularly, with the kitchenettes available for light meals if folks want that sort of thing, even though the dining room has chef-made meals every day, and they offer different diets, including for diabetes.
Meals come fresh, with choices for starters, entrees, sides, and desserts, and the dining space stays well-lit while being comfortable for everyone, while anyone who needs special diets can get what they need. There's a beauty and barber shop right on campus, and transportation gets arranged for doctor's visits or other outings, including planned day trips or daily community-sponsored activities, along with resident-led events and regular fitness programs, and in the common spaces you'll find a library, chapel, computer center, fitness room, gaming area, gardens, wellness center, and places outdoors for nature walks and gatherings with family. The whole building was recently remodeled to make it feel welcoming and safe, and the rooms and lounges have space for private family visits or small groups if you want a quiet spot.
There's support for both short stays and respite care, and for those who need physical, speech, occupational, or even respiratory therapy, everything gets handled on-site with collaboration between the staff and outside health professionals as needed. The community believes in treating everyone fairly, without regard to race, color, religion, or background, sticking to a residents-first approach, and they keep up a full schedule of activities for wellness, social connection, and keeping life interesting. The staff focuses on providing caring support and encourages family to take part in decisions as much as possible, with extra guidance for family caregivers who need to plan care. St. Andrew's at Francis Place continues to earn positive reviews and sits close to major hospitals, offering a place that's clean, quiet, and thoughtfully designed, where people can get the level of help they need and still have some privacy and dignity.
