Fountain Court Senior Living sits in Maple Valley, Washington, surrounded by tall evergreens and close to both shops and health clinics like UW Valley Medical Center, and the staff there, led by Executive Director Courtney Reifel, offers care and services for folks who want to live independently, need a bit of help, or have memory problems such as Alzheimer's or dementia. The place welcomes veterans with special programs and information, and folks with pets can bring their animal companions along to either the independent cottages or apartment homes, which come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom styles with kitchenettes, private baths, and Wi-Fi. There's a whirlpool spa for soaking sore muscles, a beauty salon and barber shop right in the building, and a library for reading quietly or joining a book club. The community calendar fills up with movie nights, book clubs, fitness classes, arts and crafts, volunteer opportunities, structured social gatherings, and other activities, and there's a private dining room where families can gather to celebrate.
Meals are fresh, served three times a day by professional chefs, and they meet lots of different dietary needs including diabetes or food allergies, plus there's all-day dining options and special home-style meals in the dining room. Residents can enjoy outdoor walking paths or sit on the patio looking out over the garden and raised beds or spend time inside in the game room, TV lounge, fitness and music rooms, or computer area. There's scheduled transport for shopping, medical appointments, or entertainment outings, and if residents or guests drive themselves, they'll find resident parking and covered parking garages for the cottage homes. Each home and apartment has an emergency communication system, and caregivers are on-site at all hours, with a dedicated nursing team there most of the day and a 24-hour emergency call system for quick help.
Housekeeping, laundry service and dry-cleaning, and even grocery shopping help come with the monthly package, plus all utilities except phone are included in assisted living. Little touches like air conditioning, cable TV, internet, wheelchair-accessible showers, and concierge services keep life running smoothly, while personal care-such as bathing, getting dressed, medication management, transferring, and non-ambulatory care-gets handled as needed. People living here can get short-term rehab if recovering from an illness, as well as long-term care and hospice if things get tough, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy offered on-site for those who need it. The community's well-kept buildings and pretty outdoor spaces offer quiet places to relax, and the atmosphere is calm and friendly, always aiming for folks to keep their independence as much as possible while having someone nearby if help is needed. Fontaine Court Senior Living, owned by Artegan, runs as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), so residents can keep calling it home as their needs change, whether they're looking for independent living, assisted living, short-term respite, or memory care.
