Saint Francis Home is a senior living community in Richmond, Virginia, offering assisted living in a setting that focuses on community engagement and active volunteer involvement. Administered by Fajr Mills, the community has 113 licensed beds. It is currently operating at approximately 82% occupancy, suggesting stable demand and open availability.
A total of 12 inspections were conducted, 5 of which resulted in violations, or 41.7%, which is below the Virginia average of 64.3%. In line with this, the community has accumulated 10 deficiencies across inspections, significantly lower than the statewide average of 32. Seven complaint-initiated inspections have also been conducted, most of which were unsubstantiated. The most recent inspection on August 13, 2025, was a complaint investigation that identified no deficiencies. However, a prior complaint investigation in October 2024 substantiated issues related to medication orders and notification processes, resulting in a violation notice, though no fines or license actions were taken.
Earlier findings also included concerns related to medication administration, individualized service planning, and building maintenance. Overall, the pattern suggests improving compliance, supported by a clean result in the most recent inspection.
With an identity shaped by a mission-driven approach and a strong focus on connection, the community’s volunteer program plays an active role in residents’ daily lives. While detailed amenities are not fully available, programming includes accommodations, activities, admissions support, and community events. This environment appeals to individuals and families who value a socially connected setting with meaningful community participation.
Saint Francis Home is a good option for older adults in the Richmond area seeking an assisted living community that focuses on connection, volunteer involvement, and a stable regulatory profile. The community’s stable regulatory profile, along with its size and occupancy level, supports availability and established programming.
