Franke Tobey Jones

We have enjoyed two highly informative visits to Franke Tobey Jones, as prospective residents. The campus is attractive and well located. Rare among the CCRCs we have seen, their independent living options are quite varied--from cottages to garden apartments to third-floor flats with a splendid view. They have a new and impressive rehab center, and an old and very handsome dining hall. Best of all, the people we met, both residents and staff, all seemed engaged and engaging.

Franke Tobey Jones is a great community. I have visited it two times and stayed in one of their guest houses in November, 2019. The people who work there are caring, enjoy their work, and have worked at FTJ for many many years. They have an excellent staff. Because the staff of FTJs is so well taken care of, they are able to better care for the residents; the staff is happy and so are the residents. I enjoyed my visit. I ate in their dining rooms. The food is excellent; everyone remarks positively about it. There are exercise classes, a gym with a physical trainer able to provide good instruction. The classes were fun and the gym had a wide variety of equipment. In another area there is a physical therapist. The residents get together and create book clubs. and play card games. There are lots of things to do with nice people. There is even a wood working room. The grounds of FTJ are beautiful. Great areas for walking and Fort Defiance and the Sound is nearby. Some of the apartments in the newer apartment building actually have views of the Sound. All the apartments are beautiful, spacious, and well designed. This building has many additional amenities.. The duplex apartments are equally wonderful and are an excellent choice for independent living. I also looked at the assisted living units and found them cozy with relaxing vistas from balconies or patio areas. I highly recommend FTJ to anyone interested in living in a senior living community. This is a safe, loving community of caring people. Its because of the people who work there that it is such a great place. The physical qualities of the apartments, duplexes, and the grounds are an extra plus. I look forward to moving there in 3 - 5 years.

Franke Tobey Jones provides an energetic community-home, safe living and plenty of support for my father for nearly 2 years. The FTJ staff know my father by name and provide excellent care day after day. He enjoys living in the Franke Tobey setting, has made many friends and feels welcome in the community. The staff is always willing, able and available for conversation by phone, email or in person. The facilities are clean, bright, and well appointed. The nurses and staff work diligently to attend to the residents' needs and are committed to top quality care. My family and I feel blessed we found a loving home for my father and the best is knowing he is enjoying the lifestyle at Franke Tobey Jones.

Franke Tobey Jones is a first class retirement community without outrageous fees. The grounds are like a college campus. The old English architecture is charming. The staff is fabulous; they care deeply about the residents - our health & welfare. The staff always smiles & when asked will tell you they love working here. It’s possible to make new friends, enjoy events & outings, engage in Senior University offerings, and have good food too! I highly recommend FTJ without reservation. Take a tour, you’ll see what I mean.
