Pricing

The Fountains At La Cholla offers a range of monthly costs that are competitively positioned within the local market of Pima County and the broader state of Arizona. For a one-bedroom apartment, residents can expect to pay $2,145, significantly lower than the county's average of $3,660 and the state average of $3,532. In terms of two-bedroom accommodations, the cost at The Fountains is $3,350, which remains below both the county's rate of $3,974 and the state's average of $4,106. The cost for studios is set at $3,625 - again comparatively favorable against Pima County's average of $3,786 and Arizona's overall average of $3,829. However, for semi-private rooms priced at $3,895, it exceeds both Pima's and Arizona's averages (which are around $2,805 and $2,820 respectively). Overall, while The Fountains At La Cholla presents appealing options for many living arrangements in terms of pricing flexibility and offerings for one- and two-bedroom units compared to regional averages, careful consideration may be needed regarding semi-private accommodations relative to local alternatives.

Review

The experiences shared by residents and their families regarding various senior living communities highlight a blend of satisfaction and concern, reflecting the complexities of transitioning to assisted living environments. Many attendees noted the impact of COVID-19 on daily operations and services, particularly regarding food quality. Some reviews indicated a disappointing culinary experience, rating the food as low as two out of five. Complaints mentioned changes in chefs leading to inconsistent meal quality, receiving incorrect orders, and meals served cold. Despite these concerns, others reported positive experiences with food at smaller communities, emphasizing variety and taste when arriving early for meals.

Another significant observation involves community size and atmosphere. Residents expressed mixed feelings about larger facilities that accommodate over 200 residents; some found them overwhelming and felt they would be too crowded. In contrast, smaller communities were praised for their intimate atmospheres, friendly staff interactions, and personalized service. These settings often provided a range of activities such as card games—poker, bridge, and pinochle—as well as exercise programs that appealed to seniors looking for engagement beyond mere passive living.

The significance of staff quality stood out prominently across the reviews. Residents frequently described staff members as "first-class," friendly, engaged, and responsive to needs. The level of care provided was commendable; even residents in rehabilitation noticed outreach from staff checking on their wellbeing outside the facility. This commitment was seen as integral to creating a lasting impression on families contemplating where their loved ones should reside.

Location also played an important role in decision-making for potential residents. Communities located near hospitals or essential amenities were viewed favorably due to their convenience. However, one review mentioned that extra charges for services like cleaning could diminish perceived value compared to other options available in the market. Although some praised cleanliness within various facilities, they pointed out specific issues such as limited meal options or repetitive menus that needed improvement.

Among those who had family members settled at specific communities—most notably The Fountains—the overall sentiment was overwhelmingly positive upon visiting or staying there temporarily. Visitors noted high energy levels among residents participating in various activities while praising the excellent food service during shared meals with loved ones. A few participants even expressed readiness to move themselves into these environments after witnessing firsthand how well-run they appeared.

Despite minor complaints concerning meal delivery sometimes resulting in cold food or long lines during popular brunch events—especially challenging for health-conscious individuals—the feedback reflected faith in the holistic care received at many places reviewed by families seeking suitable homes for their older relatives. Some families recounted compelling stories about prompt assistance provided by staff following incidents like falls—reinforcing trust in caregivers' prioritization of resident safety alongside comfort.

Ultimately, this collection of reviews conveys an intricate tapestry of opinions surrounding senior communities: from varied dining experiences influenced by staffing transitions to reflections on ambiance shaped by both physical layout and human interactions—all fundamental aspects requiring consideration when choosing appropriate accommodations for elderly family members.
