Francis Gardens

Francis Gardens is a large, multistory group home with 72 beds, licensed as an RCFE and an Assisted Living Waiver provider in the state of California under license #198603330, and it's known for its traditional Korean hanok architecture, so it really does stand out among senior care homes because you see rooms with terraces all along the outside and a landscaped courtyard right in the center, and a lot of spaces for people to just sit, look out windows facing the street, or gather and chat indoors in the activity room, fellowship/TV room, or dining hall. This is a residential care and assisted living setting for people 55 and older who can't safely live alone but don't need 24-hour skilled nursing; it's got varying levels of care, so residents get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and folks get daily wellness checks, individual care assessments, and round-the-clock supervision by awake staff, plus there's memory care services in a secure area for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia to help prevent wandering and reduce confusion. The staff helps residents move from beds to wheelchairs, manage diabetes and incontinence if they can self-manage, and arranges transportation for outings or medical care, plus there's transportation and parking onsite, and it's also near a bus line for convenience. You get different rooms too-studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, or two-bedroom-and most have private bathrooms, and some look out over the street or the garden courtyard, so there's privacy but also a real sense of community with common areas, a library, a fitness room, and a game room, and they set up activities every day to encourage socializing. Residents get three meals a day along with snacks in the dining room, weekly housekeeping and laundry, personal care and wellness services like eye care, medical therapy, and in-home treatments, plus a salon/barbershop and spa for grooming and relaxation. Safety's always in mind, with alarmed entrances and exits, sprinklers, emergency alert systems, and wheelchair-accessible paths, and they offer Wi-Fi and cable TV in most areas for people who want to stay connected. The care team monitors residents' medical needs, from managing medications to helping with allergic reactions, injury care, or pain, and there are mobile and in-home doctor visits, telephone consultations, and links to doctors in California and Florida if needed. Francis Gardens takes private pay, social security, veterans' benefits, and private insurance, and anyone thinking about moving in needs to be at least 55. There's a simple routine to most days, and life focuses on safe, respectful help, time to socialize, and easy access to healthcare and activities, so older folks who want a blend of independence, community support, and a calm, familiar place can find it here.
