The Fountains of Melbourne sits on 26 acres of tropical landscaping with buildings that show off bright colors and neat yards, and you'll find full-size apartments for independent and assisted living, with screened porches or balconies that let in plenty of Florida's sunshine and breeze, and some units even have dens or penthouse options, with floor plans given unique names like Amaryllis, Bougainvillea, and Gardenia, ranging in size from 735 to 2,492 square feet. The community offers both independent living and assisted living, and some memory care, with care options ranging from help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication to personal care and 24-hour staff support; the staff can also help monitor blood sugar levels and insulin if needed, and there is standby help for transfers if someone can't get from a bed to a chair on their own. Residents can bring their pets, can smoke outside if they want, and there's both resident parking and complimentary transportation, with the place set up to make getting around easy, including being close to local buslines, plus wheelchair accessible showers for anyone who needs them.
Meals are served daily, including more than 30 entrée choices in the dining room and some vegetarian options, and you can also grab a casual meal or a snack at The Bistro or at a cozy spot called The Nook, which offers 24-hour coffee, snacks, newspapers, Wi-Fi, and a big TV for folks who stay up late or want company at any hour. Other comforts include a beauty and barber shop, laundry and housekeeping, a heated swimming pool and hot tub, and maintenance-free homes so no one has to worry about repairs or yardwork. Inside and outside, there are common areas meant for relaxing or socializing, and there are activities on and off the property, from pool classes to walks outdoors to classes for lifelong learning or arts and crafts in the Brain Gym, a space with computers, printers, and Wi-Fi where residents can try technology at their own pace. Their Art of Living Well® program brings special attention to mind-body wellness, offering lots of ways for folks to stay active, feel part of a group, and maybe try something new like volunteer work or community events, because the place focuses on building a sense of purpose, friendship, and giving back.
The Fountains of Melbourne uses no smoking indoors, clear policies for visitors, and a schedule for devotional services both onsite and offsite, with a team that makes sure people who need special diets or help with health needs like diabetes or incontinence get the right care, though they ask residents to manage incontinence products themselves. The Wellness Consultation Center brings doctors and specialists in by appointment. Homes are age-restricted, meant to be quiet and secure, and the all-inclusive monthly rate takes care of meals, transportation, housework, fitness classes, basic cable, utilities, and 24-hour front desk staffing, which makes planning easier for many. With all that, families and caregivers are welcome to stay involved, and the community carries a steady focus on simple comforts, connection, and letting each resident live as fully and independently as they want, with Kisco Senior Living's "Kisco Confidence" care philosophy behind it all, and regular updates to keep folks informed. For those who are looking, there are virtual tours, floor plans, and photos available to help get a feel for the place before visiting.
