Community Reviews
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!
A happy Mom
reviewed on: 07/28/2016 by AnonymousThis community is in a great location, it is convenient to everything. Cleaning and food are optional charges. The meals need improvement. It is always covered in gravy and not many options. The change was not a good one. The facility is clean and my mom gets her roomed cleaned every other week. If you ask you can get a yearly deep cleaning. My mom likes the exercise activities the most, she likes the variety of activities, the change was good for that.
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.
the staff and the general feel
reviewed on: 11/13/2015 by AnonymousThe thing that impressed me the most at The Fountains at La Cholla is the attitude of the staff and the general feel of the facility on a purely subjective level. So that was good. Bringing my mom from another facility on the east coast, comparing the two, the people here are interested in doing things rather than just sitting around getting older.
Tour The Fountains
reviewed on: 11/12/2014 by Pam CThe Fountains was the community that was the "best" fit for the priorities that were most important to my parents. Some of those were: affordability, location, convenience of covered parking, continuing care options located in the same campus area, dining facility, and the updated apartment amenities. There are common areas with books, computers and seating in various locations in the building. The unit patios are a nice amenity, along with the convenient laundry facilities placed throughout the building. Many of the residents have decorated the areas outside of their doors making the hallways inviting and individualized. Pictures and artwork can be hung in the units so that it feels like home. The Fountains has a staff member that helped my parents determine what pieces of their furniture would fit in their unit. It made the move much easier and my parents were so happy that so many of their things could come with them to their new home. I would definitely recommend touring The Fountains. I think you will like it.
