Director of Assisted Living

Alice Franks is Director of Assisted Living at Cantata Adult Life Services.  She joined The British Home 19 years ago as a Social Service Designee and went on to become their first Admissions Coordinator.  In 2003, she was named Manager of The Woodlands, the newly opened 73 unit assisted living complex.

Alice oversees day-to-day operations of The Woodlands including the management of 21 full and part-time team members and is also Cantata's Campus Safety Committee Chairperson.  The Woodlands is dedicated to Assisted Living exclusively and offers a comprehensive range of expert Assisted Living services designed to help residents remain as independent as possible for as long as possible.  Amenities include full dining services, housekeeping, laundry, transportation assistance and daily life enrichment opportunities.  This past year, Alice oversaw the implementation of the new Connections Plan, a program designed for clients who can benefit from highly specific programming throughout the day to stay engaged with others and the world around them.

"Helping the people I serve at Cantata Adult Life Services live their best and most fulfilling life while remaining as independent as possible, gives me my best life," said Alice.

Prior to coming to The British Home, Alice was the first volunteer coordinator for People Care, a nonprofit organization that offers friendly visits and transportation to senior citizens.  Alice attended Augustana College and holds a Medical Records Accreditation and is certified in Dementia Assessment Care and Management and in Geriatric and Gerontology.
