Community Reviews
A place to call home.
reviewed on: 03/03/2014 by Desertr0seI had a tour of this facility in February 2014. I was very impressed. This is a place I would be proud to call home. I had the opportunity to speak with a resident who lived there. I actually had a private conversation with her as I ran into her in the restroom. She had lived at other retirement homes in Tuscon and she said that this one was the best one and had the best food as far as selection and flavor. The price is rather high if you need special care but if you are still healthy, it's quite reasonable.
Really Good
reviewed on: 09/05/2013 by JanetThey're very clean and the value is hard to dispute becasue dad definitely needs to be there. He doesn't engage in a lot of the activities but they do have a lot. They're going really good. The only problem and that's not with The Fountains, it's that Arizona state law, they can't have side rails on the beds. My dad keeps falling out of bed and the Arizona state law is against restraints. If anybody can change the law they ought to because he's falling out of his bed and his wheelchair. It's not their fault - they can't watch him every second.

reviewed on: 08/16/2013 by A Place For Mom CustomerThe Fountains has a generous size apartment and the facilities, dining and activities programs are all very attractive. One challenge, if the resident needs assistance with basic catheter the service may not be available.
The Fountains in Tucson, AZ
reviewed on: 12/17/2013 by Marilyn ChicoThe marketing staff (Grace) was gracious and extremely helpful. A binder was sent to my mother prior to her move in which was extremely helpful (new address, lease, resources, etc.) The community is very clean, residents are everywhere (activities, dining, or just chatting) and the staff calls them by first name--very important. The daily menu is wonderful--several selections along with "sides" and desserts. The dining room is clean, spacious, and well-appointed. I would definitely recommend this community!
