Franklin United Methodist Community, a continuing care retirement community with multiple levels of care accommodations, has been named by the U.S. News and World Report one of the "Best Nursing Homes in Indiana". FUMC is listed as one of 82 facilities who achieved this recognition, out of nearly 500 long-term care facilities in Indiana.

The Community has a comprehensive nursing care license for 208 accommodations including a Health Center, Special Care Units for Alzheimer's and dementia residents, and a short-term, Medicare approved Rehabilitation Services facility.

U.S. News and World Report utilizes the federal government's 5-Star CMS rating which evaluates many areas of operations as well as the results of annual survey inspections. Franklin United is a 5-Star rated facility.

Franklin United Methodist Community is located just 18 miles south of Indianapolis, the host of Super Bowl 46 on Sunday, February 5th. So our Chaplain wanted to help celebrate with the seniors who live in our Community, but without missing our regular afternoon Vesper Service in the Wright Memorial Chapel.

Imagine the kickoff of the message as a colorful bag carrying the "game ball" comes floating down the Zip Line from the Chapel Balcony. Then the start of the message can't be successful without the next bag zipping along bringing the Chaplain his Bible. Finally, the third and final bag zips from way up above to the Chancel area just in time for the Benediction, complete with the Chaplains "Game Day" jersey and can of Coke and snacks to enjoy the Big Game.

This Community continues to help all of our residents enjoy a "retirement experience filled with well-being and wholeness". That makes all of our people world champions!
