Franciscan Oaks - A Member of Saint Clare's Health System

An ideal setting. Architecturally spectacular, Franciscan Oaks sits in the gently rolling hills of beautiful Morris County. It is located within walking distance of downtown Denville, annually voted Morris County's favorite shopping center. You can visit its charming specialty stores, many restaurants, banks, library, museum, park and its famous ice cream parlor. Down the road is Saint Clare's Hospital in Denville, the flagship hospital of northern New Jersey's largest community-based health system, and across the street are doctor and dentist offices.

A gracious, carefree lifestyle. From elegantly appointed common areas to gourmet meals served with impeccable style to a host of activities that keep you on the go, Franciscan Oaks allows you to enjoy life to its fullest. No heavy-duty chores, no exterior maintenance worries. You spend your days pursuing interests and hobbies.

Future Care All In One Campus. Because Franciscan Oaks is a continuing care retirement community, you and your family have peace of mind knowing that your future is secure if your health ever changes. Our 84-bed skilled nursing facility and 34-bed assisted living wing are situated within our community and are mostly private suites. Couples, friends and families can easily stay close and share all three levels of one community for meals, activities and care when needed.

Although Franciscan Oaks welcomes people of all faiths, Franciscan Oaks is a member of Saint Clare's Health System, a Catholic healthcare system sponsored by the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother.
