Fountain Gardens #1 sits in Fountain Valley, CA, tucked away not far from major hospitals like Huntington Beach Hospital and easy to get to from Interstate 405, and in this place, there are only six units which means everyone gets more personal attention, and the staff have special training to help people with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, paying careful attention to memory care and safety, so there's this secured courtyard outside where folks can walk or sit without worries and inside there's a cozy living area, community dining, and separate areas for activities, and meals and snacks get served all day to keep everyone comfortable. They help with bathing, dressing, and medication, and nurses and medical professionals like physicians and podiatrists are on call at all hours in case someone has urgent needs, plus there's help for diabetes, incontinence, and other high needs. The building itself handles walkers and wheelchairs easily, with wheelchair showers, safety fixtures, and an emergency call system in each room, so people with different care needs can get around or ask for help whenever they need it, and housekeeping, laundry, and transportation make day-to-day living less of a chore. Residents take part in group activities like karaoke, music therapy, and live entertainment, and sometimes they all head out for trips, and there's always something going on, including visits from clergy, so people can keep up with the things that matter most to them. Seniors who want to live as independently as they can but need extra help can get that here, whether it's just a little supervision or round-the-clock care, with plans tailored for each person, and the focus is on keeping a home-like setting with friends, dedicated aides, and a steady routine of care and activities. Whether someone needs assisted living, memory care, hospice, adult day care, or short-term stays, the services stretch to fit, and the grounds are landscaped with gardens for spending time outdoors. The facility also helps with transportation, appointments, and provides medical supplies if needed. People here can get vegetarian meals if they want, receive dental care, enjoy the beautician services right onsite, and join in on both on-site and off-site activities, and with only a handful of residents at a time, getting to know the staff and neighbors comes pretty naturally, so even those who need the most care can feel at home and stay connected.
Clean facility but management negligent
I placed my dad at Fountain Gardens and overall I would recommend it - the building is very clean, staff were welcoming and attentive, care was responsive and medical needs were met, and the meals were nutritious. That said, management showed a troubling lack of compassion: staff were asleep during an unsafe discharge, I received no call after my dad's death, we had a payment/room-charge dispute, and his belongings were moved to the garage - actions that felt like cutting corners and may warrant regulatory scrutiny. I also had to switch hospice (the new company was terrible) and there are very few activities.
