Franciscan Advisory Services

Resourceful, Experienced, Results Oriented

For 130 years, Franciscan Ministries has been dedicated to caring for generations of families, a mission that began with our foundress, Mother Mary Theresa Dudzik. In 1898, she established the city of Chicago's first Catholic nursing home, laying the foundation for a legacy of compassion and kindness. Today, we uphold her legacy through the dedication of our associates, striving to create an inviting workplace that attracts individuals who share our vision for a high-quality senior living community.

Franciscan Advisory Services (FAS) is a senior housing consulting and real estate development organization that designs, develops, markets and operates a multi-brand portfolio of upscale senior living communities. Originally founded in 2011, its mission is to continue the work of Franciscan Ministries by partnering faith-based organizations with their real estate development needs.
