The Fountains at La Cholla sits out in Tucson, Arizona, with the mountains in view and lots of desert plants all around, and it gives people different kinds of help as they get older so they don't need to move if their needs change, since there's independent living with kitchens that have wood cabinets, microwaves, black refrigerators, and light flooring, plus there's bigger rooms like one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms if someone wants more space, and for people needing extra help, they've got assisted living and skilled nursing you can move into without leaving the community. There's also a memory care part for people with Alzheimer's and other memory problems, and staff are trained to help with these special needs, so family can feel better knowing someone's there all the time.
The place has lots of restrooms, air conditioning in every room, and parking for family or friends who come visit, and the whole community is wheelchair friendly with outdoor seating and a courtyard with a fountain, plus there's desert landscaping and patios where residents can sit outside. People can do chores like laundry and cleaning if they want, or get help from housekeeping who comes in to do light cleaning and change the linens, and if someone needs help bathing, dressing, or keeping track of medicine, there's always trained staff to help any time of day or night. Folks who need meals all fixed will find breakfast, lunch, and dinner served in a dining room full of light fixtures, and there's always choices, plus a nice café for snacks and drinks, and social activities from exercise groups to games like poker and bridge, and even things like painting or classes from Watermark University.
There's a lot of things to do without leaving the property, since there's a grand lobby with a flowing fountain, an outdoor pool, a fitness center to stay active, game rooms, a library with comfy chairs and books, and a salon and barbershop. Residents can bring pets, and the whole place is pet-friendly, so dogs or cats don't have to stay behind, and if someone likes to walk, the grounds are big with paths and pretty landscaping. There are planned outings, family resources, and programs like 360Well®, EngageVR®, and BrainCafé℠ to help keep minds active, plus memory care through Prema Memory Support℠ and food options like Gourmet Bites Cuisine for those who have trouble using utensils. There's also a medical concierge on site to coordinate with doctors or help set up appointments, plus maintenance for any problems in the apartments, and transportation to stores or medical visits. The Expressions Calendar and Lifestyle Magazine list activities and programs so everyone can find something to join, and resident ambassadors help new folks settle in. Many resources are online, with floor plans, news, and guides for families.
SAGE partnerships, public events, the Watermark Wellness program, Accushield, and modern technology like LifeLoop and iN2L keep residents safe and connected, and the facility covers several care types-independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and short-term stays, all on the same grounds, so changes in health don't mean needing to leave friends and familiar staff. The staff always try to respect the personal needs of each resident, whether someone wants privacy and independence or needs round-the-clock care, and the place tries to be a comfortable home no matter what kind of help someone needs.
