About This Community

Franciscan Villa’s rich mission-driven history of providing quality health care in southeastern Wisconsin began over 50 years ago. We continue that tradition today as we plan new programs to meet our residents’ future health care needs.

Franciscan Villa honors and respects older adults. It is a unique, intergenerational community where personal interests are pursued, where lasting friendships are formed, where faith traditions are practiced, and where residents live in comfort and with peace-of-mind.

My wife used to be a resident of Franciscan Villa, but I wouldn't recommend them to anybody. They were understaffed and didn't respond to the residents' needs. Her apartment wasn't homey, it was old. There were also no activities. They didn't have a menu, so whatever they served is what you ate.

I put my Dad in this facility because of his dementia. I thought he would be in good hands, but I was highly mistaken. Toiletry was poorly done, on 2 occasions I had to clean him myself because of how poorly he had been cleaned. He had days worth of matter stuck to him. When i would arrive, I asked when the last time he was changed, well it was 3 hours back. I was told he would be checked every 2 hours, this did not happen. The staff was not skilled, in my opinion, in treating Alz/Dementia patients. It was such a horrible experience, I don't want anyone else to bother with this facility. After about 6.5 weeks, the facility sent my Dad to the hospital for evaluation, never intending to let him come back and wasted my time for 2 weeks in trying to locate another facility for him. Please don NOT bother with them.

Francis House is part of Franciscan Villa, and my husband and I both thought it was shabby looking; the carpets are worn out in spots, it was kind of dimly lit in there, and some of the walls were nipped up. We were not impressed. It just looked like it was getting worn; it could use an update.

My husband has pretty good care at Franciscan Villa. The staff seems to be very caring. The atmosphere is good and the facility is clean and well-kept. They also have an activity room there. They have activities for their residents. Everyday they're doing something. They have entertainment almost everyday, like somebody would come in and play a song or a guitar or whatever. I would recommend this facility to others.

My first impression of the facility itself was a positive one. Everything seemed to be clean and organized for the residents. The staff greeted me with a smile as I entered the hallway. I arrived at the time they were about to serve the residents dinner. I took my grandmother to get her meal. She enjoyed what she was eating which made me feel secure about the health of the patients. I also noticed that they had a bulletain board of scheduled activities. My Grandmother also told me she enjoyed them. Overall this residance made me feel comfort and secure that my family member was and would continue to be well taken care of. I have no negative complaints about this place other than since it is a nursing home/ assisted living center, it's not always pleasant to hear some of the folks talk about how lonely they are, but that is sure not the fault of the staff there. I am sure that the staff does as best they can to comfort the residants' feelings. I would recommend this facility for anyone worried about a nursing home for their loved one.
