Saint Francis Home is a faith-based assisted living community in Richmond dedicated to serving older adults with limited means and the need for help is greater than ever before. Many of the residents would have few to no options for quality assisted living care due to their limited income. Saint Francis' care is based on the fundamental Catholic belief that human life is sacred and every person is precious. An essential aspect of the mission is to enhance the life and dignity of each of the residents.

Meet Julia, one of our residents at Saint Francis. Julia had a 25-year career at the Federal Reserve. She was a caregiver for her mother during her battle with cancer. She was married for thirty-five years and was a devoted caregiver to her husband until he passed away from cancer. Later, when she herself needed assisted care, the Saint Francis community was there for her. Can you help Saint Francis Home to help others like Julia?

In the Franciscan tradition, here, at Saint Francis, we believe in true equity by showing honor, respect and love to every person regardless of background. 100% of our residents are low income and represent diverse religions, races, and ethnicities. As we kick off our 50th year of service, we acknowledge the challenges of the mission. While costs continue to rise in the marketplace, so do expenses for resident care—and the difference between residents’ ability to pay and the actual cost of care continues to widen. Therefore, as a faith-based assisted living community focused on serving low-income seniors, Saint Francis relies on your philanthropic support.

Please help us by participating in our Giving Day Challenge on October 4, 2022, by donating, sharing on social media, or sponsoring. Your investment will be used wisely throughout our 50th year to continue providing quality senior care for those most in need.
