Assisted Living & Memory Care · Franklin, NC

Overview of Franklin House

Franklin House sits at 186 One Center Court in Franklin, North Carolina, in the mountainous western corner of the state. The community offers assisted living alongside memory care. Walkability here is moderate, scoring 59, which means some errands can be handled on foot while others will require a vehicle.

Capacity is licensed at 70 beds. Currently, 28 of those beds are occupied, putting the community at 40 percent occupancy. Space is available for families who need placement without waiting. Having both assisted living and memory care under one roof matters for households whose needs may change as cognition declines.

Nursing services are available to residents, and staffing coverage runs around the clock. An emergency alert system is installed in the building. For families managing memory loss, that combination of continuous coverage and on-site nursing forms the practical floor of what the community provides.

Meals are served restaurant-style, and staff handle housekeeping and maintenance. Residents can use a library, an entertainment room, and an outdoor common area. Transportation is arranged for appointments and errands off the property.

Medicaid is accepted here. For families with limited resources, or those who expect to spend down assets over a longer horizon, that coverage pathway carries real weight in planning.

Inspection records for this community cover about ten years of oversight. Themes appearing in those reviews include medication management along with care planning and documentation. Franklin House presents a straightforward picture: substantial open capacity, dual care levels under one roof, Medicaid coverage, and an oversight record with themes families should factor into their evaluation.
