Astral At Franklin delivers three levels of support—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and a secure Memory Care program—so residents can remain in the same community even as needs change. Clinical services cover a wide range of conditions, including daytime or nighttime wandering, elopement risk, combative or other behavioral issues, and “up all night” sleep patterns. Nurses manage wound care, oxygen therapy, and complex dietary requirements, while diabetics receive oversight whether they use oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The Memory Care neighborhood is set up to handle advanced dementia and related behaviors.

Daily care is backed by an RN or LPN and a 24-hour on-site nurse, with background-checked staff working awake night shifts. Resident safety features include a fenced rear area, alarmed doors, pull-cord alerts, and optional personal emergency response systems. Podiatry, audiology, and therapy sessions are available on site, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Team members can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they can accommodate mobility needs ranging from standby help with a walker to a one-person wheelchair transfer.

Apartments vary, so not every unit offers every feature, but options can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate controls, cable, laundry machines, and the ability to paint or decorate. Housekeeping is provided, and scheduled laundry services are available for those without in-unit machines. Independent Living residents receive weekly housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan while retaining autonomy over their own routines.

Meals feature both a rotating set menu and made-to-order selections. Snacks are available throughout the day, and staff can deliver trays for in-room dining or arrange private family meals. Dietary modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, and puréed textures are routinely prepared to match physician orders or resident preferences.

Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, wellness center, barber and beauty shop, movie room, library, activity rooms, special-interest clubs, enclosed courtyards, a rooftop balcony, and communal gardens. Internet access, a concierge desk, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation support daily living. Smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor areas, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
