Fountainview sits in West Palm Beach, Florida, in a park-like setting with lots of tropical landscaping, ponds, and a water view, and you'll find it's a gated community with a welcoming entrance, covered parking, and lots of trees and lawns, so everywhere you look is pretty lush. The staff's trained, friendly, and easy to reach, so people feel safe and supported day or night, and there's always somebody around if help's needed, with 24/7 nursing care and visiting doctors for regular checkups. They offer independent living, assisted living, memory care for residents who need a secure space, and home care services from trained aides, so it's got care options for different needs, and short-term or seasonal stays are available if somebody needs extra support after surgery or during recovery. Respite care works for a few visits or for several weeks, and rehab services-like physical, occupational, and speech therapy-are on-site too through places like FOX Rehabilitation, which can help a lot after an illness or injury.
The community has lots of floor plans, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, and some have big walk-in closets, stylish décor, balconies, or patios, and full kitchens or kitchenettes with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and breakfast bars. Some apartments face the lake or pond, and there are options for furnished or unfurnished units depending on what folks want. Each residence has cable, internet, emergency call systems, and private bathrooms, and it's a pet-friendly place, so people can bring their dogs or cats, plus there's a dog park and pet therapy, but there's no smoking inside any buildings. Community features include elevators, basic cable, a library, chapel for religious services, beauty salon and barbershop, card and game room, restaurant-style dining areas, cozy lounges, an activity studio, community gardens, and even a bar and cocktail lounge.
Meals are included, with two or three meals a day, plus a Five Star Culinary Dining Program called MyChoice, and both private and regular dining rooms, so residents get their pick, and weekly housekeeping services mean people don't have to worry too much about chores. There are indoor and outdoor pools, including an indoor heated pool, a pool and patio by the water, and a Cottages Clubhouse with its own indoor pool, so swimming is always an option. There's parking on premises, scheduled transportation for trips or appointments, and complimentary breakfast every day.
There's a full calendar of social, educational, and entertainment events, including happy hours, movie nights in the on-site theater, volunteer programs, clubs, and group outings to shopping nearby. The fitness center offers exercise classes and rehab programs, and outdoor features like a gazebo and walking paths around the pond let people enjoy the weather. There are also computer workstations, community gardens for those who like to plant, and enrichment programs for mental, physical, and emotional wellness. Fountainview participates in VA programs for benefits like Aid and Attendance, allowing veterans extra options for long-term care.
People living at Fountainview often mention how social and friendly things feel, with staff and residents getting to know each other over games, meals, or activities, and there's a general culture of friendliness, helpfulness, and joyfulness. Awards for care and activities hang in the lobby, which shows that many people have good things to say about the place. With a wide range of options for living and care, including independent and assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and home care, Fountainview covers many needs in a clean and welcoming way, but nobody will ever say it does everything perfectly, it just seems to try to offer a safe, comfortable environment with supportive services and plenty of ways to socialize or just relax and watch the fountains.
