Overall Review of Fountains Nursing Home Inc

caveat 11 reviews mention this

Care quality is inconsistent

Residents and families describe care lapses that can leave basic needs unmet.

Several reviews say basic care needs were missed or delayed, including hygiene help and attention to conditions like dementia and frequent UTIs. Others describe problems with feeding and medication follow-through, with meals arriving cold and not enough food or options mentioned for preferences. A recurring concern is communication, where families describe not knowing what happened during the day and staff not responding reliably when concerns were raised.

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Calls, check-ins, and meals

Families report delayed responses to call lights, and meals that were not consistently served.

More than one reviewer describes call light or bed-check issues, including not being answered in a timely way. Residents and families also mention meals being cold, not brought as expected, or lacking alternatives for special diets. One review specifically ties the issue to understaffing, while others describe communication gaps that required daily family involvement to help residents eat and stay on track.

caveat 10 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and odor complaints

Some reviews point to strong odor and housekeeping problems.

A number of reviewers describe offensive smells and housekeeping that did not meet expectations. Several mention insects, ants, or sticky floors, along with rooms that they say felt neglected. At the same time, a few positive reviews say the facility is clean and does not smell like a nursing home, which contributes to the overall mixed experience.

common 8 reviews mention this

Staff dedication gets strong praise

Many visitors describe caring, friendly staff who take residents’ well-being seriously.

Multiple higher-rated reviews highlight friendly, hands-on interactions and say residents appear well taken care of. Several reviewers also credit the team for improvements they noticed over time and describe management working to improve the building and resident experience. While many of the lower-rated reviews focus on missed care and communication problems, the consistent positive theme is that some staff members are genuinely dedicated.

common 2 reviews mention this

Rehab progress, with drawbacks

Some reviewers describe rehab as better than their experience with nursing support.

A couple reviews focus on rehab, describing it as an area where the experience felt stronger than other parts of care. Even then, one reviewer still reported nursing concerns, including understaffing and uneven caring. This leaves rehab as a potential bright spot, but not a guarantee across the full stay.

common 2 reviews mention this
