Spreading peace and kindness, one rock at a time ✌️🌼

As part of our Hospital Week celebration, staff embraced Peace/Hippie Day by painting rocks that will be placed on the hospice patio and at Franklin Country View—adding a personal, uplifting touch for patients and residents.

Celebrating Hospital Week at FGH! 💚

We’ve had a great first couple of days recognizing the amazing colleagues who make Franklin General Hospital so special.

Monday, we kicked things off with USA Day—complete with games throughout the facility and a cookout, courtesy of Tony, with burgers and hot dogs hot off the grill! Thank you to First Security Bank & Trust Co for providing us with cupcakes!

🌺 Today we brought the island vibes for our Hawaiian-themed day with sand art and a fun mocktail/dirty soda bar. United Bank & Trust Company pitched in a few meat and cheese trays for colleagues to enjoy as well!

We’re so grateful for our team and all they do for our patients and community every day. Stay tuned for more celebrations this week! 🎉

We’ve had a lot of fun visitors the past couple months! 😊

Franklin County Home School Groups, CAL 2nd Grade, and West Fork 1st Graders all spent time touring our facility, and let’s just say… they kept us smiling the whole time.

Here are a few of our favorite moments:
💬 “This place is better than the zoo!”
👑 Our Franklin Country View dining room was described as “made for royalty” (and a “fancy restaurant”)
🎅 A staff member in the basement may or may not have convinced a few kids that Santa works here part-time
🔬 Rumor has it, Jake is running science experiments in the lab
🗣 Learning about our 67 fire extinguishers was one of their favorite parts...

We love opening our doors to local students and sharing what we do—it’s always a good reminder of the joy and curiosity in our community ❤️

Spring has been full of special moments at Franklin General Assisted Living! 🌸🐣

Our residents were able to watch 11 baby chicks hatch, and both residents and visitors alike fell in love with these fluffy little arrivals.

They also celebrated Earth Day by making seed paper together and planting it in the front grass area. It was a fun, hands-on way to enjoy creativity, nature, and time together. 💚🌱
