Franciscan Communities offers you 7 Ways to Age Successfully

1. Socialization

Our senior living communities are home to thousands of residents and associates.  Retirement might have decreased your social stimulation, so maintaining relations with family and friends, and making new ones, is emphasized at Franciscan Communities.

2. Self Worth

We encourage our residents to remain independent, face and meet challenges and enjoy everyday life.  We promote your independence at Franciscan Communities.

3. Keeping Cognitive Functions Fit

We utilize comprehensive, research-based assessments to help you age better.  Programs and amenities such as brain aerobics, libraries, media rooms, computers, the Wii and Touch 2 Play Gaming System, guest speakers and book clubs allow you to flex your cognitive function muscles.  

4. Physical Fitness & Health Awareness

Our fitness centers, SeniorFITness programs, outdoor walking paths, regularly scheduled physical activities, group exercises, aerobics, strength training and onsite health screenings, ensure physical fitness can be a part of your daily life at Franciscan Communities.

5. Spiritual Wellness

Onsite chapels are welcoming sacred spaces for people of all faiths.  Our pastoral care departments offer spiritual support and counseling.  

6. Healthy Eating

With restaurant-style meals available onsite, eating healthy is easy!  We offer a variety of foods and use the finest and freshest ingredients.  With plenty of choices, and dietitians available, we can meet your nutritional requirements and desires.

7. Stress Reduction

It’s been proven that the body’s defenses can falter under stressful conditions.  With flexible financing plans, a continuum of care and the peace of mind of knowing that Franciscan Communities will be the ideal place for your retirement years, you can rest easy.  You can enjoy your leisure time while also pursuing your interests and challenging your mind and body, especially now that you have more free time.  Here, we’ll take care of mowing the lawn, raking the leaves, maintaining the yard, making home repairs and more so you can enjoy your life to the fullest.
