Overall Nice Community
It has been a great fit for my parents. The community is very welcoming. They love having their independence, but knowing there is support when they need it. The activities have been enjoyable for them as well. Overall they seem to be happy with their decision.

A Place for Mom helped us connect with Elance now known as The Barclay. My parents have been thrilled with this location. It went very smoothly and we cannot be more grateful for the end result. They have been able to maintain their independence, but now have many activities to enjoy everyday.

My father died in 2017, but my mother continues to live at the Fountains, now over 15 years. She moved to the Assisted Living residence in 2021. Overall, this has been a great place for both of them. They were active residents on the Board, bridge players, and friends of everyone. My mother will be 99 in July 2023, but her mind is sound and she appreciates that Assisted Living has what she needs at her time in life. We toyed with the idea of moving her to the DC area where we live, but the Fountains offers so much more than we could find here, plus she has personal ties there and better weather.

We live at the Town Center at the Fountains at Lake Pointe Woods. The most important facets of living here are the very friendly and caring residents; and the very pleasant and delightful staff. The feeling during this lock-down due to the virus...we are safe and secure. We may not always be happy with the restrictions, but we are all well and getting very good care. We feel lucky to be here. Thank you,

I am happy being in this community. Everything has followed through from what I was told before moving in. I liked the meals and I like how easy it is for me to get my hot meal. The staff here are just fine to me.

This is a preliminary review. We moved our 91-yr-old parents to a two-room apartment at the Inn three days before Hurricane Irma hit in early September. We could not have been happier with the care they got. Storm prep and communications from management were superior. So far, facility is very nice, food is excellent, and staff members are attentive and friendly. The facts that the Inn has medical personnel on site 24/7, allows pets, has a great pool, and has spacious and lovely grounds were major factors in our selection of this facility over newer and fancier locatons. So far, so good!

We know the Fountains very well as my Mom was there for 11 years. It is nice but older construction and always seem to turnover staff. Is a property that we might consider. The villas are new but quite expensive and all residences require a buy-in in the independent living buildings. Two bedrooms and Villas take 5-8 year wait.

The Fountains was a beautiful property, but the buy-in was out of our range.

After searching for a place for my DAD in Sarasota, we decided on The Fountains, it has been almost 3 years now that my Dad has lived here, my family could not be happier with this place. Frances who is in charge of the Dining Room could not go out of his way more to please not only my family but my father, he is absolutely the best. Sylvia is another one of the staff that is just wonderful, she always is thinking of creative ideas for the residents, my Dad just adores her. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great home away from home. The grounds are also absolutely beautiful. I give this place a 5 star. Thanks to this place we can rest easy at night knowing our Dad is safe.

When you enter the community you are greeted by a very friendly smiling concierge. While moving throughout the community staff are always asking if you need assistance. Residents are smiling and friendly. Administration and Nursing staff are very caring and responsive to the needs of the residents. There is compassion, caring, and warmth that you feel within this community.

All is well for my father with his move to this community. I know he is safe, and receiving great care. I'am pleased with all they have done for us. This is a nice community with kind people. Everything is working out well for us at this community.

This seems to be a lovely place, and would be a good fit. It's a little bigger than what I would like. But so far this is the way we are leaning if and when we decide to make a move.

Our dad lived in the assisted living residences at The Fountains for the last year of his life. He was 89 years old when he moved in. We cannot say enough about the quality of his experience at The Inn. The staff is superb. The restaurant is wonderful and managed by Francis, who could not have been nicer or more accomodating. The nurses are so caring and responsive. They are extremely positive and work with you to find the best solutions. The administration is wonderful, too, and all about solutions. Paige [removed] is competent, caring and available. Most importantly, the caregivers, housekeeping and restaurant staff who have the most frequent contact with the residents are the BEST! They made our dad feel welcomed and loved. We would not hesitate to make the same decision again. Best in Sarasota, best in Florida!

The location and grounds are lovely. The dining room was inviting. Wasn’t so pleased with the apartments. Would like to sample a meal.

My wife and I moved into The Fountains at Lake Pointe Woods three years ago and have never regretted that decision for a minute. Everything about the place suits us to a "T" - beautiful apartments of varying sizes and a 53 acre campus, excellent cuisine, experienced management, reasonable fees and a caring staff. But the biggest unexpected bonus for us was making so many new friends! We feel that we have truly achieved peace of mind with this move.

My husband and I recently moved into the Independent living facility at The Fountains. We have a beautiful apartment and each day we comment to each other " We made the right decision." The food is excellent! Maybe too good as we have gained a little weight already. The staff is very friendly and helpful. As it is independent living they do not provide any kind of health care. Just a nurse from the assisted living facility who comes once a week to check blood pressure if you desire to do so. They also provide Flu shots once a year. All of this is made clear before you move in. We looked at many places before deciding on the Fountains. We liked the campus and the staff and the food. We felt this this was a great value for our money. We hope to enjoy it for many years.

The Fountains at Lake Pointe woods was by fr the best place for the money that we looked at in Florida. The staff and people there were friendly and accommodating of my mother's needs and they really went above and beyond. The property is large, so keep in mind that transportation to some of the amenities on the other side of property is needed.

Not a good value. A dear friend of mine moved into Independent Living and then moved out. They charge an upfront fee that does not go to any healthcare. After checking around many in the area myself, I found that most charge this fee but it is for a guarantee of care. The Fountains does not offer this. It is simply a privilege to live there. My friend moved out 8 years ago and is still waiting on a partial refund. The Director even phoned her to ask her to take less so they could resell this apartment, allthewhile this apartment has seen a price increase numerous times over that 8 years. Do your homework and know what you are getting into. Many better value options in town. At 81, I try to stay young and active but this place was for "Old" people.
