Fountain Crest Retirement Community sits in Lehigh Acres, Florida, as a medium-sized, resort-style senior community focused on independent and active living for people aged 55 and older, and there are 94 apartments with three different floor plans, including studio deluxe, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, so people can find what fits them best, with pet-friendly policies for dogs and cats, and landscaped grounds with walking trails and a screened, heated outdoor pool where folks like to relax or take a dip. The place feels welcoming as soon as you walk in, and the staff-from the Executive Director to the Life Enrichment Director-know residents by name and help keep things running smoothly, with a 24-hour call system for peace of mind, and dedicated on-site personnel always around.
Fountain Crest offers all-inclusive independent living with flexible, month-to-month leases, so there's no big long-term commitment, and it's all designed to help older adults keep their independence and stay active with fun things to do like in-house movies, creative arts, cards, bingo, and fitness classes, or you might join a club or faith-based group, or just gather in social spaces inside and outside, and there's always weekly events, community wine tastings, and places for family gatherings. Living is easy with weekly housekeeping, responsive maintenance, all utilities included, and free WiFi in the common areas, plus apartments come with modern touches, and the whole campus remains smoke-free thanks to strong ionized air filtering that takes care of viruses and airborne contaminants.
Dining here runs 24/7, with chef-prepared meals, a salad bar for fresh choices, and restaurant-style service, and folks can eat when they're hungry-not just at set times-which means you get wholesome food when it suits you. There's a full shuttle and Uber partnership too, offering door-to-door rides for residents heading to stores, medical appointments, or social events, and the Sunshine Travel Program allows visits to sister communities in other cities or states with complimentary guest rooms and meals for traveling residents. Concierge staff help with things like pet walking or local restaurant tips, and there's help for moving in, with the EZ Move Program to ease the transition and even a resident referral program if you want to bring friends along.
Extra services support well-being, like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, podiatrist visits, nurse and doctor on call, hospice and respite care, and help with daily activities if you need it, along with memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and on-site activities and therapies that support each person. The place overall has a Blue Zones-inspired approach, focusing on natural movement, stress reduction, purpose, and social connection, and there's a fitness center, wellness programs, meditation sessions, and gardening spaces, all set up to keep everyone moving and enjoying life.
Parking's available for residents, and gates make the community feel safe, and wheelchair-accessible features, including accessible showers, mean it works well for folks with mobility needs. There are regular devotional services, both on and offsite, for people who want spiritual support, and several medical facilities like Radiology Regional Center and Walgreens pharmacy stand nearby in case you need outside appointments. Fountain Crest keeps a warm feel thanks to caring staff and friendly neighbors, aiming to make independent living easy for active, social seniors.
