Francesca Residence is part of a three-facility complex of the Daughters of Divine Charity. It is situated on two beautifully landscaped acres featuring a gazebo, bench seating and a walking path. Parking is available for residents and their guests who are always welcome. The dining room has two beautiful window views on each side.
We require all of our residents to be able to walk independently, with or without the aid of a walker or cane.
However, all rooms have elevator access and there is no need to take any stairs.
The chapel and the dining area are located on the first floor.
We are surrounded by beautiful flowers, pines and other wonderful plants. A Resident can walk around with a feeling of safety and security. We believe that seniors want a quiet and comforting residence where their fears and concerns are removed. We provide a place to reflect on times past and to ponder the challenges of the future.
Our home is located in Highland Square, a lovely Akron suburb.
This convenient location offers easy access to shops, restaurants, banking facilities, drug stores, quality medical and dental care providers and facilities as well as the Metro bus line.
