The Fountains at Millbrook

We wanted a place that's close, and The Fountains is just 11 miles from my house. The environment is very homey and it didn't have the "institutional feeling". We felt that it can provide maximum level of independence for mom, but still get good care. Her apartment is beautiful. It's one of the nicest place. I think the staff is excellent.

They do have activities every day like arts and crafts although my mother doesn't participate in all of them as much as I would like. But they really reach out. They help arrange mahjong games, and she plays mahjong a couple of times a week. I'd like to see a little more provoking to get her out to doing things. I don't think they do bad, but maybe just a little more push to maximize the individual to participate.

The staff seem tolerant and experienced. They handled the residents with respect and were gracious to me and my visting family members. The facilities were recently renovated and very well maintained . My grandmother's accommodations are spacious and receive plenty of light. She has been able to find some pleasant companionship with some of the other residents, including another family member at the same facility. The facility also houses a large dining room in which families can dine with their loved ones on holidays.

Fountains of Millbrook is great. This is exactly the kind of place my aunt needs and overall it has been a great experience. This retirement community has everything I could ask for in a place for my aunt to live. Now, thankfully, I do not need to worry about the care she is getting because Fountains of Millbrook does the worrying for me. Their staff is extremely friendly and courteous to all family members and friends of their residents. My aunt only has nice things to say about all the workers and frequently engages in conversation with them. The view at Millbrook is gorgeous as well. I am blown away every time I go there to visit. The view itself is well worth the money spent. One of the greatest parts about the facilities at Millbrook is its library. It has a pretty good library, great dining hall and many comfortable lounges. Because Millbrook sits on a large plot of land they have the flexibility to add some of these features (like a library or theatre) to their facility. It gives the place an open and independent aura yet also a community feel as well. In my opinion this is a great place to stay and is well worth the money spent.

How compationate are the staff? The place is always keeping residents busy and active.
