Overview of Clark Retirement at Franklin Clark Retirement at Franklin is a nursing home, assisted living, continuing care retirement community, independent living, memory care, respite care and skilled nursing community in Grand Rapids, MI. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing and medication while the resident keeps a private living space. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care.
Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Respite care offers a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The range of care levels can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, since moving between levels can happen within the same community. Clark Retirement Community operates the community, and Kelly Jasman serves as director. There are 107 beds, with studio, one bedroom apartment and cottage residences.
Medicare and private pay are accepted, giving families two stated ways to cover care. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours 33 minutes per resident per day, representing the total daily hands on nurse staffing allocated per resident. On site rehabilitation services let residents receive therapy within the community rather than arrange transportation elsewhere.
A full service salon and barbershop, swimming pool and spa, chef prepared meals and multiple dining venues are available, and pets are allowed. A Walk Score of 58 means some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle occasional errands independently. The community may be a good fit for someone who wants the option to move between independent living, assisted living, memory care or skilled nursing as needs change, or for someone needing a short respite stay.
