At The Pristine Pines of Franklin Park, assisted living means dignity, privacy and freedom for you or your loved one, with just the right level of social activities, support and personalized care to keep life in its proper balance.

Our dedication and commitment to the safety, comfort and well-being of our residents goes well beyond our elegant, intimate atmosphere, our premier quality services and our surprisingly affordable price.

We have made our community as comfortable, accessible, and convenient as possible to provide residents with a carefree lifestyle. Our corridors are short and there are no elevators or stairs to negotiate when going to the dining hall or other common areas.

At The Pristine Pines you or your loved one will live near other residents who have similar needs and lifestyles. Our community is designed with four entrances providing separate access to four distinct residential areas. Having residents grouped according to lifestyle promotes better understanding and support for each other and from friends and families, too.

In our Dementia and Alzheimer’s unit, for example, we care for just 12 residents in a safe, intimate environment with secure access to the outdoors. Meanwhile, in an entirely separate section of our community with its own entry and dining room, our more independent and active residents enjoy lifestyles and social activities geared to their needs and desires.
