Overview of St. Francis Assisted Living

St. Francis Assisted Living is a 55-bed senior living facility operated by the St. Francis County Community Development Co. The single-story property combines standard assisted living and specialized memory care services on the same campus. Geographically, the building is situated about three miles from the local downtown area in a neighborhood that holds a walkability score of 58 out of 100, indicating a moderately walkable layout where some basic daily errands can be handled on foot.

Daily schedules bundle communal dining services with routine social and recreational activities. The floor staff works under a 24-hour supervisor schedule to assist residents who require hands-on help with personal care routines or specialized supervision for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. From an administrative perspective, state regulatory files trace the facility’s baseline tracking records, which show that the provider handles both general senior care and cognitive support needs under a single roof.

Individuals looking into regional memory care units or a mid-sized assisted living placement can use these state regulatory profiles to check into the home’s operational setup. The public documentation outlines a single-story property backed by around-the-clock monitoring, localized social programs, and moderate neighborhood accessibility, lacking the complex physical therapy infrastructure of a larger clinical nursing facility.
