The Fountains of West County offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care in one setting, allowing residents to move between levels of support without changing communities. The Memory Care program is equipped to manage early to advanced dementia and provides structured oversight for residents who wander in the morning or evening, present elopement risk, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, or stay up throughout the night. Diabetic residents are accommodated whether they use oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin, and individualized plans are maintained to keep blood-sugar readings within physician-ordered ranges.
Clinical coverage includes an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on site 24 hours a day, and an additional nurse on call after hours. All employees undergo background checks, night shifts are awake, and the building uses door alarms, a fenced rear area, and optional WanderGuard bracelets for added security. Residents have access to pull cords and personal emergency call systems that alert staff around the clock. A visiting podiatrist provides routine foot care on site. Staff can deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and are trained to manage transfers that range from standby help to one-person pivot moves for those using walkers or wheelchairs.
Apartment choices include studios and one-bedroom layouts; some have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable hookups, independent climate controls, and permission to paint or decorate for a personal touch, although not every unit contains every feature. Maintenance, basic utilities, and safety checks are covered in the monthly rate. Common areas are wheelchair accessible to match the transfer support residents may need.
Dining operates on an order-at-table system, and the kitchen provides snacks throughout the day along with medically prescribed diets or other modifications. Full service in the dining room is standard, but meals can be brought to the apartment when illness or doctor’s orders require. Independent Living residents may opt for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and a monthly meal plan that preserves autonomy while ensuring support is available.
Amenities include resident parking, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit. The campus is pet-friendly; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. A wheelchair-accessible layout links the exercise room, movie room, wellness center, beauty salon, internet lounge, and indoor swimming pool. Residents can attend on-site religious services, stroll in communal gardens, and take advantage of a fully staffed barber and beauty shop.
