Meet the Founders of Franklin Park® Senior Living

Franklin Park was founded by people who believed senior living could be built with greater intention, care, and respect for the individuals and families it serves.

Aubra and Susan Franklin brought together their backgrounds in design, leadership, and community involvement to create places that feel welcoming, thoughtful, and genuinely supportive. Their vision continues to guide how Franklin Park® communities are designed, led, and experienced today.

A Message from the President of Franklin Park®

“As I spend time in our communities getting to know residents, I’m often told how moving to Franklin Park® has changed their lives. I’m touched by their stories, and it brings great satisfaction knowing our communities provide an atmosphere that is empowering seniors to live an active and healthy lifestyle.-

The way we interact with our residents, the way we manage day-to-day operations, the way our family of employees work together, the way we think about ourselves and those around us — it all boils down to our Foundational Belief that freedom, family, and friends are of utmost importance, and are worthy of embracing with our whole hearts.

We value your independence by giving you the freedom to choose a lifestyle that promotes healthy longevity, surrounded by caring people who help each resident live life to the fullest. We welcome and appreciate your family who check in on you and entrust your well-being to us as we become an extension of your own family. We challenge ourselves daily to create a social-based community that encourages fellowship and the making of new friends. We know that it’s friendship that makes life so much more full, at any age!

We’re inspired by excellence, and we’re absolutely committed to the well-being of our residents. Time and time again, we see residents experience amazing changes as they transition to life at Franklin Park®. You’ve worked hard to get here . . . now let us do the work for you. It’s our privilege to serve a generation that truly embraces freedom, family, and friends.”

We hope to see you soon.
