Fountain View is a terrific community. I love visiting my friends who live here and coming for a meal with them and partaking in the special events the community puts on for them. They have enjoyed their time there and the staff seem to know them personally and are always willing to help.

My mom lived in Fountain View. The management was terrible. The rooms were average. The food was terrible. They had activities but were run poorly.

Fountain View was a pleasant-looking and clean place. The tour was thorough. We got to see four different rooms and to see the residents as they were dining at the end of the day. Our tour guide knew many of the names of the residents as we passed them in the hallway or down in the lobby, which was good. The site was good and close to the Interstate and to my home. The rooms were very nice and clean. The dining room looked fine. We saw different areas that the residents can use for exercise and bathing.

I toured multiple facilities, but kept coming back to this one for the friendly atmosphere. No one looks forward to their parents going to a retirement community, but this is exactly what we needed. A community that seemed to support each other and enjoy themselves. Mom is very happy.

The director George is the most unprofessional man my family has ever dealt with. As it it difficult enough to be moving your parents to a new home like this, he was not helpful in making this an enjoyable transition. Fountainview is by far one of the more expensive community living places and quite frankly he worst care for their patients. They are all about getting the most money in their pockets. I would highly recommend checking out other community living places for your loved ones before trying to deal with this mess in the making.

We went to check out Fountain View. It was very clean and very well kept. They have a dining room, a snack room, gym equipment if they want to go to the workout room, a beauty salon, barbershop, and pharmacy. We know several people who live over there and they love it. That was kind of a big reason we chose it.

My wife's mother was looking for an assisted living home. She was coming off an injury and we dedided to support her until she could file for social security. She did most of her looking in the Watertown, SD area where she was. My wife talked her and I into visiting a home in Omaha about an hour from where my wife and I live. We went to Fountain View and saw that there were actually two programs. One was assisted living and the other was an independent living program. Overall, the two were very close, the primary difference was the level of care provided. Both offered good meal services, chapel, a gym, a library and a mini-computer lab. The rooms offered were either singles for independent living, or 2 bedroom shared rooms for assisted living. The food wasn't great, but it was definitely better than expected. The rooms were nice and the staff seemed friendly enough. Overall, the whole facility seemed pretty nice. Not exquisite, but livable and affordable.

I have loved Fountain View since the day I moved in. My kids helped me look at places and this felt the most comfortable for me. We toured and had dinner before we made our decision- the food was wonderful and you get lots of it. I barely have to cook, I'm always so full from breakfast and dinner! The chef always takes our input and makes changes if we want him to try something new. I lost my husband last year and I thought I would never feel whole again. Thanks to my new friends, it's not so hard anymore and I love having people close by.

Our experience with Fountain View has been good so far. My mother gets meals and everything that she needs, and there's a nurse on duty. The staff is great and they have some new management, who I think will be much better. They're also switching positions around a little bit, so all of that combined encouraged us to keep her there. She's in a bigger, 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment. She exercises every day and they also have activities daily.

Dad stayed at Fountain View Memory Care for a year and a half. As is anywhere, there were pros and cons.
Pros- Most Staff was friendly.
Appeared to like their jobs. Meals were healthy and nice variety. Dad would say it was edible. Had a number of activities for residents.
CONS
They do not clean under furniture.
Dad had stuck several items under his chair. Food dirty napkins Christmas ornaments etc. Dementia patients can and will hide anything and everything. Why on earth would checking under furniture not be part of housekeeping weekly responsibility?
House keeping is not good at all!
Several loads of laundry were turned pink more than once. They did pay to replace after I complained but come on. If you're taking care of my Dad you should be wise enough to know how to do laundry.
Dad preferred to eat in his room. I would arrive at 2 or 3 for visits and his plate would still be sitting on his table. Not good for a person who has high risk of choking. He should have been checked on frequently and while doing so, get the dirty dishes removed.
Caregivers can not force residents to do anything However they can encourage residents to participate. A simple "Time to play Bingo" is all he needed. This staff could not or would not get Dad out of his room. He sat in his room, day after day when he needed activities to keep his brain from stagnating. From day 1 in his new Memory Care home they have had him out of his room and participating in activities every day. His depression is gone and he is happy again.
Staff playing on their phones while my father sat in a wet depends. Why they even allow the phones to be brought on property is beyond me. Phone playtime (by caregivers) was seen quite often.
They itemized any extra service and added the fee to the bill. Fine for some I suppose but we're not talking a variation of pennies. An average of $1,000 more a month. Ask to see the extra fee list.
Was Dad abused. No. More like neglected. It could have been a lot worse. Then again, compared to his new Memory Care home, Fountain View could be A LOT better.
Office staff needs to get up and out of their offices and go see what is going on at the frontlines with their residents and staff.
I am an In Home Healthcare provider. This is all right up my alley.
I do NOT recommend this facility.
