Franciscan Villa

My father went to Franciscan Villa for skilled nursing in July 2019. His discharge papers from Saint Francis were for 12mg of decadron. Dr [name removed], the doctor at the facility, prescribed, and my father took, 36 mg of decadron. THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE. During his week at skilled nursing, he experienced a rapid decline. No one could give us an explanation as to why. No doctor checked on my father as to why he was declining. He went from a 1 person assist to a 5 person assist in a matter of days. At the advice of the medical team, we took my dad home to hospice where we found out he had been over-medicated. Unfortunately, my father never bounced back and suffered a horrible death where he literally drowned on the increased fluid caused by the over dose of steroid. No one at this facility wants to take any responsibility. No one returns calls to discuss what happened; the only explanation we received was the person who is supposed to verify medication was on maternity leave.

Old building in need of updating- the AL smells musty. AL Director had to get in touch with and does not return calls. Maintenance is lacking. There are much better options in the BA/Tulsa area.

They had no record of a scheduled appointment. [Removed] is no longer an employee there. They finally found someone that could give me a tour of the asst. living studio & 1-bedroom apartment. Their prices start at $2400. per month. Both units appeared clean. The space/square footage is very workable if you organize and limit the size and amount of furniture.

Our experience with Franciscan Villa has been very poor. We've had multiple maintenance issues that have yet to be resolved, in addition to problems like the hot water running out very quickly. I also think the food leaves a lot to be desired, there's not much variety and the quality could use work. I would recommend looking elsewhere if you're searching for senior living.
