What is Abundant Life?

The word “abundant” means exceedingly, very highly, beyond measure, more, a quantity so abundant as to be considerably more than what one would expect or anticipate.  

We want our residents to experience abundant living that is meaningful, purposeful, joyful, and eternal!

Our Beautiful Campus

It's not just the place, it's the people. Our residents are pleasantly surprised to discover just how quickly Martha Franks becomes home. 

People

Relationships Matter

Our community fosters an atmosphere of living, not retiring. An environment of continued service and purpose, not idle sitting. Many of our residents are drawn to our community because they have served as pastors, missionaries, or very active church members with a passion to continue in service. Our residents come together, pray together and serve together as God gives new vision and ways to minister throughout the retirement community and in the surrounding community at large.

“We both took care of our parents and are adamant we do not want this for our children. They tell us frequently, it’s the best gift we could give them.”

As a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), Martha Franks is equipped to support the changing needs of residents without requiring them to relocate.  Residents have security and peace of mind in knowing their future needs will be met.  Living options include cottages, patio homes, garden apartments, assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation and skilled nursing.
