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

My aunt was at the facility for 2 weeks following a brief hospital stay. We couldn’t have been happier with the care she received! Therapy department is excellent and she quickly made progress. Social worker is very easy to reach and follows up quickly on all concerns or questions. She had plenty of food, and was always clean. Thanks so much!

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

The chef/cooks/workers were amazing. However, my sister died in their care. During Covid, my sister got it and they did not call a parent for 3 days after my sister got it. I had to beg the front desk for them to call. Night before my sister died, they finally called to say she was asymptomatic and the next morning she died. It was horrible communication and being that my sister was non-verbal she should have automatically been sent to a hospital for observation.

I am/was a resident of this facility

After spending 6 days in Monmouth Medical South Campus with a Life threatening condition I was transferred to Fountainview for 5 Days of Intense Physical Therapy. Everyone on the Staff were kind and knowledgeable. I couldn't have asked for a better Experience than that they provided me.

Review of Fountainview Care Center

The people are really great here. My wife is pleased with everything at this time. The person in charge of the meals has really done a nice job. She bent over backward to accommodate my wife's diet. The nurses' communication improved.
