I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother has been at Fountain View for five days now. It seems to be a nice place, and the staff members are friendly. We were able to go there a couple of times. They're helpful, and they keep the lines of communication open. She is in a nice, private room. I like it because it is not carpeted, and it is freshly painted. Their rooms are more modern than some of the other places we looked at, and I think they're all private rooms. Some of them have bay windows, and some of them don't. They have chur…

My grandma is there & has dementia. I dont care for the place. I've seen residents fall, ask for help, etc.... & most of the staff ignores the residents! I cant stand that place! As long as ur family member doesnt give the aides problems, the aides are nice. The building is falling apart inside & out! I do not recommend this place for anyone!!!!

I visited this facility

Fountain View was a very nice facility. It would've been what we wanted, but it was out of my mother-in-law's budget. They have an activities director, so there are several things to choose from every day. It was clean and well-maintained. The management was very involved in keeping care plans updated, and the staff was updated almost daily of any changes in the residents' status. They also have a couple of doctors who would visit, as well as a nurse. The residents needed to be independent enough to …

My mother-in law is a resident at Fountain view, she is very happy and really loves the staff. Ms. White is very professional as well as her staff. They keep us informed on everything that is going on with my mother. We can call and ask them anything at any time and they can tell us. The facility is very clean and clean smelling. They engage the residence in so many activities and invite the families to participate in all festivities. I really appreciate the entire staff.

Expected more.

Too few caregivers. No attention to hand washing before meals for anyone. No nail care. No activities on weekends. Not enough training for medication techs. Our relative has dementia, and we overhear staff constantly asking him questions that require memory: what did you eat today? do you remember . . . Food is not nutritionally balanced nor diverse. Our relative is only bathed twice a week. Staff do not wear easily visible name tags. Management is not involved except to make operations more lean and annoying for s…

I am a friend or relative of a resident

My mom was only at Fountain View for a day. I was not impressed with it at all. My mom was supposed to be on oxygen, but they never had her on it. She supposed was to have a pureed diet, and they gave her a hamburger and potato chips. I was very, very disappointed with them. I would never recommend anybody going there. Until I went to the nursing staff and demanded that something be done, nothing got done. The girls and the nurses seemed to be very nice, but there was no communications between shifts. Cleanliness w…
