As an outsider visiting a friend at Franciscan Villa, I was incredibly impressed by the overall atmosphere and evident quality of care. From the moment I stepped inside, there was a palpable sense of peace and genuine welcome. The facility is immaculately clean, bright, and beautifully maintained, giving off a feeling of comfort and respect. The common areas are thoughtfully designed, encouraging relaxation and social interaction, and the grounds themselves are very pleasant, providing a serene environment for residents. What truly stood out during my visit was the staff's dedication and kindness. Every interaction I observed between staff members and residents was filled with patience, genuine warmth, and a clear commitment to respectful care. Residents appeared happy, engaged, and well-cared for, which is the ultimate testament to the environment created at Franciscan Villa. It's clear they prioritize both the physical well-being and the emotional happiness of their community. Based on my comprehensive outsider's perspective, Franciscan Villa is a top-tier choice that truly lives up to its stellar reputation.

Probably one of the worst places on earth. They killed my grandmother!!! I wouldn’t send my dead dog to a facility like this. The care is awful the staff is neglectful and careless. They abuse their residents and of course it’s a state funded facility so who gets away with it? State was called, But due to my grandmother having dementia that was used against her “abuse behavior” was a reason why staff neglected her……. If you can’t handle someone with dementia you shouldn’t be a CNA!!!! Staff was rough during cares and their abusive language in front of family!! It was totally uncalled for!!! My grandmother died a long painful death when Franciscan villa medicated her WITHOUT doctors orders with oxygen and fentanyl patch that let me mind you the hospital had no records of having to order!! I am thankful that she did not die in that hell hole!!! I am forever grateful for Aurora hospice home!!! She was cared for and respected! That was the best care she got for her last three days then she did in Franciscanvilla!!!!!
