Fountain View Village sits in Fountain Hills, Arizona, in a quiet place with views of the McDowell Mountains, Sonoran landscape, and the World's Famous Fountain nearby, and the community offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care choices for older adults, plus there's skilled nursing, hospice, and home care available if needs change over time, them having a total of 125 assisted living beds so there's space for quite a few folks. The apartments are light-filled and come with full kitchens and private balconies or terraces, so people can feel at home, and you'll notice the grounds are landscaped with spots like a gazebo, an enclosed courtyard, a swimming pool, and a hot tub, plus paved paths and patios to enjoy the desert air and views.
You get a lot of help with daily activities if you want, things like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and the staff here work with your doctor to help coordinate your care, and if memory care's needed, there's a secure memory care neighborhood with support programs, light therapy, snoezelen sensory rooms, and regular enrichment and exercise activities made for people with Alzheimer's or other dementias, so support always adapts as the situation changes. Meals get served restaurant-style in a nice dining room, with special diets available like low-sodium, gluten-free, low-sugar, or even international cuisine, all planned by skilled chefs and eating together is a good way for folks to stay connected, plus guest meals are offered if visitors show up. They've got room service, a private dining room for small gatherings, and outside garden sitting areas.
The facility's got some handy features-wheelchair accessible showers and full tubs, high-speed Wi-Fi, free cable and satellite TV, a meeting room, a piano and organ in the lounge, a library, a movie theater, and even a cafe and bistro, so there are always different ways to pass the time, and if you like activities, there's a calendar full of social events, arts and crafts, outings, billiards, games, and religious services (you'll see Catholic Mass and other religious visits, Chaplain, and Rabbi visits too). There's a fitness center, an activity room, and a beauty salon, so self-care's easier, and if you need, they offer house-keeping, grocery shopping, and regular transportation for appointments or errands, sometimes for a small cost, plus a concierge is around if you've got special questions.
This is an age-restricted, active adult, 55+ continuing care retirement community with skilled nursing and respite care available onsite, with four levels of care so needs are met as people age-it's designed to let people age in place, so you don't have to move if you need more help later. The staff is described as friendly, joyful, and available around the clock, and folks can feel safe with an emergency response system in each apartment. Family and residents can use a community portal to keep up with the latest news, and there are tours for folks interested in seeing daily life, the apartments, and the different dining and activity options in person. While the setting feels high-end and the surroundings are pleasant and clean thanks to a recent renovation, they keep things focused on support, comfort, and a sense of connection, because many residents enjoy feeling valued and part of something in a place designed around seniors' needs and lifestyles.
