My wife is now in the Franciscan Village. We chose this place because it's run by a Catholic order of nuns. They have a beautiful chapel inside the building, they have a priest 24-7, and they have deacons that come and give communion. So that was a big part of our decision. They have a game room and every day they offer people to come and do crosswords, bingo, and art projects. They do stuff typical to most nursing homes, especially at the rehab or memory care level. The nurses are great though they're always short of aides, I found that to be the same in many places. The food is tolerable, it's acceptable. Sometimes it's good but sometimes I'd go out to get my wife a cheeseburger, sometimes their food comes in cold. The bathroom is tiny but everything else is pretty good. I'm paying $10,400 a month basic plus laundry service, plus incontinence supplies. I think it's very, very expensive for these things but all nursing homes are way too expensive.

My mom was in rehab at Franciscan Village. She's in the rehab building, where she shares a room with someone. It's a little more confusing. They're building now where all the elevators are a little further away; and I know my mom would have had a harder time taking one elevator here another one there. It's a little older. Things were really quiet that day during the tour (maybe it was because of the time of day that all the residents were more in their rooms). They have a lot of property too. It's very peaceful out there, and it's nice. It was a little bit more confusing trying to figure out. My mom's 84. I don't know if she'd ever find her way. I know they seem to charge a little more for those units that are closer to the elevators.
