CJ Bowman 2016-01-31 My tour with The Fountains at Bronson Place was nice as well. I thought the difference there was the monthly costs. This was more expensive. The staff was wonderful and professional. The place was beautiful. Probably the final thing was just the cost there. I visited this facility

Shirley121105950 2015-12-21 I was very impressed with the staff in The Fountains at Bronson Place. The place was well maintained and was very clean. I found the rooms and apartments very adequate. Each had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchenette. They also had trips for the residents. They went to places, like theatres and a university auditorium. I haven't tried eating there, but the dining room was very homey. In general, I liked everything about it. I visited this facility

Caring106875550 2015-05-17 The Fountains was fabulous; the staff was helpful and friendly. The apartments were very nice. My parents liked the 2-bedroom, and it is nicely decorated with nice windows. It is a well-built facility, and they liked the indoor parking. They invited us to music night and cook out. When we toured there, it was summer, and it was beautiful. We did eat there a couple of times, and they have a chef that prepares the food. Beautiful facility. I visited this facility

Elinor1 2015-04-29 The Fountains was very interesting, and the place was beautiful. The people were nice -- staff and residents. I can’t think of anything negative to say about what we saw. The only thing is I don’t think we may qualify, and we have enough funds to be able to move into a place like that. The facility as well -- as the grounds -- was gorgeous. The building was beautiful, and it’s a classy place. They have classes and lectures, and they have a bus for trips. I visited this facility

Caring25535350 2014-12-13 I was able to visit The Fountains At Bronson Place, and it was great. If I had sent my husband there sooner, he would have had a nice place. The staff are very accommodating. The one room I visited was very small and dark -- it was in the middle of the building -- but I am sure they have cheerier rooms. They didn’t show me any activities, but they I know that they do have an activities director. I visited this facility

Caring100892650 2014-10-27 I was very, very disappointed with The Fountains at Bronson Place. They were the ones that they said to me that they don't do a la carte services and that they offer full care. The place was clean, but it was just not a personality fit for me. I visited this facility

Harry23 2014-07-31 Everything is excellent at The Fountains at Bronson Place. The rooms were large. We talked to the lady that gave us a tour and she was knowledgeable enough. She really wanted us to stay there, but the facility is expensive and on the wrong side of town for us. We were able to eat there and the food was excellent. I visited this facility

Michael45 2014-03-31 We chose The Fountains because of the location and the look of the place. My parents moved there in June. They were helpful when we were trying to get in, but after that they became less helpful. The apartment we got was very nice and of high quality. The food is very good. They have parties for the holidays; they have dances and a nice library. I am a friend or relative of a resident

David72928750 2014-01-29 The layout of The Fountains at Bronson Place is fairly nice. We went there for a visit. The architecture and the space seemed reasonable. They had inside parking available. The place still seemed fresh and the staff are friendly. We really like the place, but you have to buy-in to get into it. It's also a continuing care facility and that's what we liked about it. I visited this facility

Caring74723450 2013-12-01 Caring.com referred us to The Fountains. I think for somebody who is looking for a retirement place with a lot of other people in early retirement, this seems like a nice place to be. It was different compared to another facility I visited but it was definitely a nice place. They have a big community and for the most part, everybody eat at one place. They have this really large dining room that everybody went to. I think the physical property itself was a little bit older and a little bit worn, although the community was much bigger and seemed more lively. Their rooms were nice. I remember seeing one there that was re-done. It did a kitchen and a living area and it was nice. We had a meeting there with the sales person and we hung around and discussed things in a room there, but we actually had to get up and leave because there were people congregating outside because they're going to start an activity in that same room. So there were definitely activities in this facility. I visited this facility

Becky10 2013-06-26 The lady who showed me around was very good, very personable and very nice. She showed me the assisted and the independent living and I really liked them. The amenities and the rooms were very nice and I was very happy with that. The only thing that I didn't like was that they were expensive and I was not impressed with their nursing home. I visited this facility

Tony Perkis 2012-07-23 This facility had great service. The staff seemed very friendly and attentive to the needs of the people living there. The place was tidy and kept well, including the inside of the building and the outside. When I was there I did see the the staff serve the food, which was not of the greatest quality, but was sufficient. The one thing that stood out to me most was the way how one particular staff member took interest in the hobbies and stories of this particular gentleman. Through this you could obviously tell that the staff, at least this staff member in particular genuinely cared about this person. The way she recalled his family members names and stories was a refreshing surprise. The living conditions were decent there but the thing that impressed me the most was the caring staff. I would highly recommend this place to someone looking for a place to allow a loved one to live. I visited this facility

Brenda21 2013-09-30 We chose The Fountains because it was close by where she lived before and so she was still familiar with the area. They have all kinds of things that are going on. They have exercise class daily. Everyday there's something different that they can do that they post. They have wine tasting parties. If you want to learn how to do a new craft, they have people that will teach you like crocheting or knitting. You can plant in the garden if you want to. I really appreciate the fact that the staff are very friendly to me. My mom has a two-bedroom apartment and a small kitchen that she can cook her own meal if she wants to. I have eaten there and I really like the food. They had a lot of different things that you can choose from the menu. I am a friend or relative of a resident

weema! 2012-07-24 The facilities are extremely nice and clean, and when you walk in the front door it feels like a place that you want to be. Even from the first peek in the driveway it feels like somewhere you want to be. Though it's not in the middle of nowhere, if feels removed from the hustle and bustle of regular life. The staff is always very courteous and helpful, and the people living there seem to have some great friendships. When I played a concert there, I walked in the door and all of the staff present immediately knew what I was there for and directed me to the room I would be playing in. There were chairs set up and a beautiful little stage. It was wonderful to see the staff bring people in one at a time, and spend the time to make sure each and every one of them was comfortable. I really got the impression that the staff cared about every person, and took the time to really get to know them. I visited this facility

commercesd 2012-03-28 The Fountains at Bronson Place assisted living facility was recommended by a friend in the region as an option for my friend's mother. The pretty backyard features many places for seniors to enjoy around the grounds safely. The property also had plenty of park-like space with nicely manicured lawns. The centralized lake is a great place to relax and enjoy the day. It is a nice retirement community that offers a variety of living options. We could see that the residents there are content and well cared for when we arrived. As we walked through the building, we could see that the interior design was nicely ordered and easy to navigate. Each room had nice views with really nice décors featuring lots of fresh air and light. The private rooms were decorated tastefully with a homey, light and airy atmosphere. Each unit has nice views of the surrounding area. Bathrooms were designed with safety seats and rails. The main dining room had a comfortable and spacious decor. The residents are offered healthy, home-style cooked meals in a casual restaurant setting. The food looked and smelled delicious, as well as healthily prepared. The menus included many interesting dishes, as well as the usual American fare. Snacks are offered regularly throughout the day and whenever residents desire them. The exercise center includes daily yoga and aerobics exercise classes. The equipment is available throughout the day and residents may also walk the grounds safely. The many activities on the calendar of events included a variety of stimulating activities like fun ways to exercise with nature walks and the opportunity to enjoy all that the region offers. The residents all looked very content. The kind and caring staff ensure that the resident's needs are met in a peaceful, yet stimulating living environment. I visited this facility

VanderJere 2011-09-10 This assisted living home is a bit deceiving. If you see a picture of this facility you will say it looks very nice. If you look at the brochure you will also be impressed. I have a friend who stays there and I visit her on a regular basis. She does not look happy. She says that everything is ok but you can tell they are not. What brings down the score is the people. It might look like a nice place to live but the people are the ones that bring down the score. They do not act like they are genuine. They act like they are putting on a show. I am a pretty good judge of character and I know I am right. They act like they are doing things because they have to and do not enjoy the residents. I noticed negative behavior to the residents when they thought that I was not looking. I also noticed that they weren't very gentle with their patients. I would give this place a rating of 5. But when you add the staff I have to bring the score down to a 3. I am a friend or relative of a resident
