 St. Francis Home is a 146-bed long term care facility. All rooms are private rooms, with the exception of two double-occupancy rooms. Our private rooms promote the privacy, dignity, and individuality of our residents.
St. Francis Home is licensed by the Ohio Department of Health and is Medicare and Medicaid certified to provide intermediate and skilled nursing care. The facility is located in the south end of Tiffin on the picturesque groundss of our sponsor, the Sisters of St. Francis. The peaceful, wooded campus invites residents to enjoy nature at their doorstep.

We strive to enhance the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of our residents by recognizing their individuality and by providing them with opportunities to live a full and satisfying life.

Skilled Nursing
St. Francis Home provides care to residents who require short-term stays as a result of medical or surgical conditions that require treatment for a limited period of time. These services may include restorative care and/or physical, occupational, speech or respiratory therapy.
Since Medicare certification was obtained in 1997, residents can return to St. Francis Home after a hospital stay to continue their treatment. This provides comfort and security in a familiar environment with familiar caregivers tending to their needs. All the rooms in St. Francis Home are dually (Medicare and Medicaid) certified to minimize the transfer of residents from one room to another, depending on the level of care required at the time.
Hospice Care
Hospice care is available to residents of St. Francis Home. We contract with two hospice providers, Community Hospice Care and Heartland Hospice. Residents have their choice of provider.
Respite Care
Respite care is available for those who need short-term care. Individuals and families who care for relatives can avail themselves of respite care when they must travel, or when they need a break from their daily care schedule.
