Fountain View Assisted Living has 61 apartments with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, and they come as studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom options, so folks get their own space with things like cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, which is handy these days, and you'll find they have laundry and housekeeping for less worry. The staff is trained and friendly, ready to help with bathing, dressing, transferring, medication, non-ambulatory care, diabetic care, incontinence care, insulin injections, and even specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, using Montessori principles certified by the Center for Applied Research in Dementia. There's a 24-hour call system, 12-16 hour nursing coverage, and always someone to help, so families feel a bit more secure knowing their loved ones are looked after day and night, and if someone needs a break, they offer respite care for short-term stays, too.
Meals are pretty nice, with a dining room that feels inviting with fresh flowers on the table, attentive service from staff, and chef-prepared plated dinners, sometimes with special touches like milkshakes, and menus that leave room for dietary needs and choices; you get one or two meals a day made by chefs and meal planners who fuss over taste and nutrition, and folks can have friends or relatives join them in the dining area, which adds some comfort. Activities help people stay active and connected, since they've got a full-time social director, a structured program with resident-led and community-planned events, regular day trips, a gaming room, fitness area, small library with Internet, beauty salon, gardens, a wellness center, and even things like outdoor spaces, community-sponsored gatherings, faith-based programs for those who want them, and move-in coordination to make the transition easier. Residents join in on activities that cover social, physical, mental, and emotional needs, and there's always something to do, from spiritual growth activities to games and outings, and the place gets recognized now and then with awards.
They do what they can to keep life comfortable and secure, for folks who want a balance of privacy and social life, with helpful and kind staff who make people feel welcome and supported, and they have a good setup for independent living or folks who need more help, plus skilled nursing, home health, hospice, private duty, and rehabilitation services under the Friendship Village name. It's a place designed to help people live well, stay independent if they can, and not have to worry so much, with plenty of ways to keep busy, healthy, and connected to others.
