This has to be the best place around. It feels like a cruise ship on the ground. They have activities all day long. My loved one doesn't even answer their phone, because they are having so much fun with the activates. Wii bowling, entertainment, outings, and more for activities. There are two meals a day available for independent living, if the resident is in assisted living there are three meals. There is a full dining room with menu, and a smaller restaurant as well.

Our experience with the Fountains of Melbourne was not positive, through no fault if theirs. Mom was too close to end of life, so she never was able to get any benefit from living there. The place is very nice, but also very expensive. I'm not sure many people could afford it. We do recommend it when it comes up.
My mother lived here for 3 years and it is the most welcoming, clean, great food, unbelievably professional kind staff anywhere. You can feel the wonderful atmosphere the moment you walk in the door, the residents are happy and the staff is too. We cannot say enough about this place and the care my Mom received here, truly the best!

Since my mother moved into The Fountains of Melbourne she has been welcomed by their staff and community. When we attended the new resident orientation in her apartment she was asked by the staff member to circle the three events she planned on attending her first week there. Mother has been an introvert forever but she felt it was part of the resident agreement to participate so she circled her favorites. She immediately became immersed and continues today! She’s made friends and thanks me for finding her a wonderful place to call home!

The experience at the Fountains is outstanding. The staff could not be more helpful or cooperative, nor provide any better environment to celebrate being here on a daily basis. There is room for improvement in the dining area. Breakfast if nigh on perfect with good choices and excellent cooking. Lunch and Dinner would be improved with a little faster service, if possible, and I know it isn't easy to have meal time last from 4-7 and be consistent but more attention is needed in that area. Thank you, John

We toured The Fountains of Melbourne and loved it! It was excellence. We really liked that when you move from independent to assisted living, you just move to a different hallway with the exact same layout as the independent apartments. The aides and caregivers will come into your apartment and help you with whatever you need. I like that you don't have to live in one single room if you're in assisted living. The Fountains made it into our top 2, but it ultimately boiled down to distance. We went with another community because it was closer to our son.
This has been a great experience so far. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The staff are professional and kind to work with. The staff are wonderful and the community is clean. The staff are responsive to the call button. The staffing seems adequate for care for the residents as well. They have a wide range of activities for the residents.

So far things are going well with The Fountains, my loved one has only been here a short amount of time and is having a hard time adjusting, but the staff are really trying their hardest to make her happy. The one thing that has stuck out to us is just how friendly and helpful all the staff are. From the aids to the salon staff to the kitchen staff, everyone has been amazing. I would absolutely recommend them to others.

We chose The Fountains because of the location of the facility, availability at the time, and the floor plan. The apartment sizes here are great. Everybody here is overwhelmingly polite, friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend to others looking. I would tell others thought that if your loved one has more advanced memory problems, it would not be the best fit. More for those who are more independent and do not wander.

I originally reached out to a place for mom. I was given a few suggestions and I tried those facilities didn’t care for any of them so I did my homework. I chose the fountains in Melbourne Florida it’s the best decision that I made for my mom. She absolutely loves the facility and I’m so thankful to have her closer to me

The money you pay here is not worth it. There is not enough staff especially on the weekends. The food is about equivalent to a school cafeteria. Administrative staff is not very nice unless they are trying to hook your relative into living there.

We looked at this community a few years ago and we really liked it. This community is for independent and assisted living. The food was good and at the time it was a newer community. They have an exercise room, pool and social activities. I would recommend taking a look to see if it would work for you or a loved one.
