Wonderful community

What stands out for me at Fountains of Hope is the staff. All staff, of course there were always a few outliers, were attentive and caring. The staff became personable with my mom and our family even though they had a big job with many duties; they stopped and took the time to speak, encourage, and direct/redirect with caring. Humor was often used when nothing else could help. Patients redirected with caring, great patience utilized. =20 I have experience there in ALF as well as memory care. Memory care staff was exquisite not only did they provide support to the patient, they were always ready to lend an ear and support for family. My patient was well cared for, felt cared for and loved even when understanding for her could be difficult; such a loving presence throughout this busy unit. I am a social worker have been in many facilities, have never seen one as clean and well cared for as Fountains of Hope.

Caring physically and emotional

As we helped our mom find a place she liked when she could no longer live at home alone, we visited a lot of facilities and she liked the Fountains of Hope Fountains of Hope is a very clean and attractively decorated facility which is well kept with helpful and friendly staff. Their memory care unit is top-notch, with staff, sincerely caring for the patients, understanding their level of care and needs, as well as providing support to family members.

Couldn’t think of a better place

We evacuated during Milton to FOH. To sum it up: the management team and staff were very caring,empathetic accommodating and attentive to all our needs especially in a not so ideal situation. They provided everything we were not prepared to bring to the facility. We appreciated their love and patience with us through the storm. Thank you FOH for your amazing hospitality through it all. We appreciate you beyond words. [name removed]

Inexperienced & Incompetent Senior Management, High Turnover.

Inexperienced and incompetent management results in emotion-driven decisions (rather than logical/rational) that can endanger the welfare of their residents. I'll report healthcare violations with Florida's Agency for Healthcare Administration to request full investigations. The formal complaints may take time to appear on the AHCA website. Beware of this facility. There are many better options. Qualified and experienced management is paramount. This facility lacks both

A nice place for mom.

They have recently gone through some changes but I'm happy to say they are all for the better. They currently have a very caring staff. Now they just need more residents! My mother is 100, and says her caretakers are very nice to her.

Great value, caring staff, high quality food

I've explored several assisted living communities both in-state and out of state and decided to move my mom to Florida because of the high quality environment and value of care at Fountains of Hope. It is a clean, loving, friendly community that caters to a calm senior lifestyle, which I feel is important. I was also able to arrange onsite medical visits by coordinating with the staff and my mom's healthcare insurance company.

A calm, quiet, and comfortable place with great staff

I would recommend this facility to others. Especially to people who are quiet and easy to get along with. The staff, from top to every level, are kind and empathetic. The place is kept very clean. No pool, not fancy, not for socially active or high energy folks looking for excitement. Readers, single men and single women who are polite and gentle would find the quality of care and company of others very satisfying. The activities are good, and there is encouragement, but no pressure to be involved, if a resident would rather stay in his/her apartment.

The Best care team and friendly staff

My father lives at Fountains Of Hope and we’ve been very happy. The team cares, and takes good care of my dad, and that gives me peace of mind. It also seems to be very friendly and the staff very responsive. We’ve been happy.

Care a level above

Fountains of Hope has changed our Father’s life. Their level of caring, attention to detail, and open and honest communication has made an enormous difference in our lives. After two poor experiences, Fountains of Hope proved good care and quality of life is available to those in need. Thank you Fountains of Hope! Craig K

Their core of the community is the people they employ - they are there for the right reasons

I would recommend this facility to anybody, the level of certification which was a huge learning curve from us is outstanding here. They have higher certification so they are able to care for our loved one. The head nurse that was there our loved one was, had a dynamic personality. She was so caring and on top of everything. She was particularly outstanding. The activities person seems to be very caring, they always have the residents outside in the common area. The receptionist was an angel sent from God - she was truly amazing. They also had a lot of fresh fruit also and did not ever seem to really repeat meals.

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

My mom was forched to live in this facility. This facility was so poorly ran, not enough staff, staff not qualified to take care of my mom's needs. They did care to groom her and neglected her in every way. She was left alone and so were the other residents. The memory unit was dirty and smelled most of the time. I would NEVER leave a loved one in their care. The food was disgusting. I tasted all food just to know what my mom had to eat. Please run fast from this place. There are NO doctors on site and NO RNs either only LPNs......this is so unexceptable. My mom was left dirty and all her dignity was taken away. My mom was also left cold without covers, and left to go pee in her bed than lay in it.....horrible place.....run, run, run!!!!
