Review for Somerby Franklin

I was still in skilled nursing when I chose SOMERBY. My brother, who is my power of attorney, and sister-in-law made the initial tour of SOMERBY and reported back to me. Because they know me so well I trusted their judgment. They knew that the atmosphere and friendliness would appeal to me. But, they undersold the physical beauty of the facility and the food. Both of which are so appealing!

Hoping for a better alternative

The restaurant service is really really bad. The food is OK, but getting it can be a real challenge. In the end room cleaning/laundry that is supposed to happen once a week never does. I think maybe one time in about 10 months.

Beautiful place to live with caring residents and staff

Onboarding was a terrible experience but if you can hunt how the info you need, it's a great place. Room sizes and amenities offered are amazing. Feels homey and not like a "facility". Definitely very comfortable and beautiful. I would live there! Amenities and activities remind me of a cruise ship.

Review for Somerby Franklin

I would definitely recommend. Everyone there is so nice! It looks more like a fancy hotel than senior living when you walk in, not depressing at all (which was my mom's fear!). Also, they have an indoor pool with water aerobics classes twice a week, which was a big selling point! Everyone, from staff to other residents, are incredibly friendly. Huge closets, too!

Efficient, knowledgeable about community resources and empathetic to our situation

Questions were addressed with clarity, their services clearly defined and outside support systems identified , defined and with contact numbers provided. The staff worked as a team and understood who could best address our concerns Efficiently was stellar. Response time to emails was immediate which validated our need for connection as our family is spread out from Seattle to Washington DC with little immediate family near my sister, who is a new resident at Somerby’s independent living section

The food at Somerby Franklin is very good. The dining wait staff usually in their first entry-level work experience and some more training to provide consistency would be helpful.

One family's experience.

Any lowering of scale is due to staffing turnover. New employees take time to develop relationships with residents. And residents do not receive maximum care, friendliness, activities with turnover of staff members. Otherwise we are very happy with Somerby Franklin.

Our families experience

What we like the most about Somerby Franklin is the friendly residents and maintenance staff. The meals services are improving and the billing is confusing, and transportation is not very useful.

Somerby Franklin is very nice and is packed with activities. The staff is very nice and knows the residents (and their pets) by name. The housekeeping is generally good, although there is some turnover in the housekeeping and dining room staff. The food is high quality. It is an upscale, vivacious community. I would recommend Somerby Franklin to others.

Excellent Community

Somerby Independent Living Community is located perfectly for all conveniences, medical appointments, pet care, shopping, and recreation. The facility is clean, well designed, and open. There are several amenities available on site. And the other residents and Somerby staff are personable, caring, helpful, welcoming, and most of all, accessible. You can participate in many activities or just a few. We enjoy our apartment and have had a wonderful experience thus far.

Highly recommend living here

I have lived here since the day Somerby opened. I made the commitment to live here about 6 months before Somerby opened and I’m glad I did. This facility was even more awesome than I anticipated! The staff is one of my reasons for living here. They are friendly and caring. [name removed], our Executive Director, is very responsive, always available and has a bright smile. All the staff say hello, know us by name and it’s reassuring. [name removed] on the concierge desk is absolutely the best thing about Somerby in my opinion. Not only can she do 3 things at the same time but she is pleasant, welcoming and caring. I can’t say enough good things about her. Our residents are friendly and welcoming to newcomers. So if you are looking for a good place to live, look no further. SOMERBY IS WAITING TO BE YOUR NEW HOME!!!

Very Pleased

My loved one is currently a resident at Somerby Franklin and it has been a very good experience at this facility so far. The staff has gone above and beyond on helpfulness and making my loved one feel welcome. I rated the meals and dining and the activities lower due to staffing issues that will be resolved when sufficient staffing is available. In my experience, this place is way above average- if you can afford it. I would recommend Somerby Franklin to others.

Not there when you need them

We were about to move in, filling out paper work and just needed to sign but then they stopped communicating with us when we had a crisis - they made the whole thing worse. They were not willing to take my loved one after this crisis and did not tell us for 8 days, they made it so much harder on us. They left us in the middle of this crisis with no place to go. They advertise excellence but deliver garbage.

Great place!

I love this place. It's so much better than the other two facilities that my aunt has been in, by far! They're warm and friendly here. When I visit, it's very obvious that they know my aunt. They greet me and tell me details from their conversations with her that tell me they've talked to her one on one and spent some time with her. They know and remember details! To me, that's just wonderful! The activities are so much better than the other places she's been. They also use an app to update families on them. It shows the daily activities that my aunt participated in and sometimes even pictures. The executive director is top notch. She runs a monthly support group for family members of the residents with guest speakers etc and she does a great job! She interacts with the residents daily. They even do activities one on one with the residents at times, ie: coloring, puzzles, card games. I really appreciate the one on one attention that they give her. Communication could be a little better, we have had minor issues at times. The facility is always clean and looks wonderful. High quality environment and always smells nice. The food is good quality and lots of choices. My aunt likes it and eats well. Previously, that was an issue for her. Not anymore! I have noticed some turnover, but I've found that everywhere. It's a little more expensive, but worth it. They truly care and it shows. I would recommend them to family and friends.

Tour of Somerby Franklin

Somerby Franklin is a very nice facility with a lot of great amenities provided. I was very impressed with their restaurant set-up on site, it is new and absolutely beautiful. Another plus is that they have someone at the front desk 24/7, so it is safe and secure. A couple of drawbacks were that they have one big open parking lot and the walk to the facility from the parking lot is pretty far. It is also an older facility and the furnishings were not as new and fresh.
