Howard Village Senior Living in Saint Francis offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents the flexibility to match care levels to their personal needs. Daily oversight is available for routine health requirements such as diabetes monitoring, and a speech therapist is on hand for residents who need help maintaining or regaining communication skills.

Beyond these core care types, the community maintains an on-site clinical team that includes licensed nurses, occupational and physical therapists, and a podiatrist. Staff manage medications, provide incontinence assistance, support non-ambulatory residents, and coordinate hospice and memory care when required. This depth of services allows many residents to remain in place even as health needs change.

Housing options range from studios to larger apartments, and not every unit includes every feature, but selections may include full kitchens, bath tubs, wheelchair-accessible showers, ground-floor access, private patios or balconies with garden views, and individual climate control. Indoor common areas such as a computer or media center, library, TV lounge, beauty salon, and barber shop encourage social interaction, while outdoor spaces feature decks, patios, and landscaped grounds. Dogs and cats are welcome, subject to community policies and any breed or size guidelines.

Meals are served restaurant style three times a day, with guest meals available for visiting family or friends. The culinary staff, led by a professional chef, can accommodate international menus, gluten-free dishes, low-sodium plans, and no-sugar options to support specific dietary needs while maintaining variety.

Residents have access to a full calendar of programs that includes on-site and off-site activities, art classes, trivia games, Wii bowling, gardening club, walking club, yoga and chair yoga sessions, stretching classes, library and computer lounge events, book club, men’s club, and live-well health programs. Social offerings feature happy hour, holiday parties, birthday celebrations, live music, resident musicians, and live dance or theater performances. Spiritual needs are met through on-site devotional services, visiting chaplains, Protestant, Catholic, and other religious gatherings. Regular social outings, swimming pool access, BBQs, picnics, and cards or pinochle clubs round out a schedule designed to keep residents engaged and active.
