Mom is at The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay. I like that she has some housekeeping involved every couple of weeks and that if she needs to get to appointments, there's transportation available (although I like to be there for those). If she were to fall or if they don't pull the cord by 10:00, there's someone with an extra set of eyes that's close by to come and check on them. They also have doctors that come to her independent unit to see her and that saves me from having to schedule time off from work to take her to appointments when most of the time, they can address things like drawing blood or taking X-rays right there at the facility. They can have the meals delivered to their room or they can join in on the dining experience with some of the residents that live there. They have a beauty salon and all kinds of activities. They have a theater where people can come in and watch movies, bingo, a swimming pool where they can do their water aerobics, arts and crafts, quilting, and several things that they could get involved in if they chose to.

We will be moving into The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay. Everybody was very nice. I get replies to questions I ask fairly quickly. The floor plans were nice. The water view we'll have will be fantastic. It's on the waterway and in a very nice location. The grounds are nice and easy to get to. It's a four-level care facility. For independent living, you get two meals a day. They have a theater and a friendship room with a pool table and lots of books. They have music and courses they offer through their university setup. They go on trips, like to the ballgames and the Florida Orchestra. They also have shopping trips. I am very pleased with their activities calendar, which is packed.

My tour experience with The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay was excellent. Everything was excellent. It got a little dock, and you can go fishing off it, so it's excellent. The staff are all just very, very good. They got bingo, they have a church, they have a swimming pool, and they have classes in the pool. They have good choices of apartments depending on your needs and means. They're roomy, and they've got small kitchenettes, a lot of light and a lot of big windows.

I like the services that The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay offer. They are there to serve you or to help take care of you. The facility was clean, functional, and had a very nice atmosphere. The workers are excellent. They have a swimming pool, movies, trips to stores or the theater, crafts, painting, woodworking, and intellectual information courses. They have good food and a flexible menu.

We moved my brother-in-law into The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay. We're very happy with The Fountains at this point. It's a beautiful facility. It's on the water. They have multiple options in terms of living spaces for studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms. Most of the rooms have water views. The staff is wonderful to work with and the price point is excellent. They've been absolutely fantastic to work with and have made this very easy for us. He is in independent living and the staff that we have met has been very accommodating and very interested in making sure that the tenants are well taken care of. He's been very happy with the food. He has Alzheimer's and he is able to navigate that building within the first day, find his room, and down to the dining room. They have a movie theater, a stage where they do shows, and a library. They have bingo, all kinds of activities, a gym, a pool, and a fishing pier.

I'm moving into The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay. I had visited it in the past because a cousin of mine was a resident there for a good while, and I liked it. It's all on the water. It's a tower. It's a tall building. The room I picked has a beautiful bay view. The price was good because it was less than a lot of other places, and they had a promotion on the price, and they seemed to have good activities. We tested the food one day, and it was very good. The menus were good. The staff during the tour was very, very friendly, and answered all my questions. The facility was very good. It's not a very excessively fancy place, but I don't need a very, very fancy place.

I visited The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay. It was very clean. The people there that were independent were very free to move about and do things their way. I went when they were eating in the dining room; it was very nicely organized, and they seemed happy. They were smiling, and it seemed like they were doing well. The staff member was very nice, I think her name is Michelle. She was very sweet and very accommodating. My mother enjoyed talking to her, and she just enjoyed the whole area. Although during COVID time, they're not able to do much with the seniors now, but she explained the things that they were doing, and my mother did like that. They have been told they have internet WiFi. They used to schedule, before the COVID, little cruises they talked about. They did a lot of outings to the stores or different malls, and things like that. What I saw was that they at least had some events for the seniors to take them away from the facility, and just go on a bus tour or something. They even have suggested going on a three-day weekend tour, a cruise, but because of COVID they weren't able to continue with that. They have the best intentions, but during COVID, it's difficult. The food looked very presentable. They had the menu, but I didn't get a chance to see how it tasted or it looked. What I saw when they were eating looked very presentable, and the menu looked very inviting as well. It was very clean and very organized. I was taken to the areas where they were renovating, and I saw one of the flaws; in the hallway, the rugs were very much in need of a renovation. I guess that's what they're doing, but it's a slow process. You can tell that they're upgrading it, but it was in need of it. I think it should be mentioned that the rugs in the older area, they definitely need to be cleaned.

I toured The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay in St. Petersburg, and it's a lovely place. I have an application for it, and just have to get my financial information together. It's gorgeous, it's well-kept, and the rooms are just beautiful with a lot of options. There's a big library there and a lot of activities. If you miss a meal, they have a little place where you can go buy something really cheap. I saw so many happy people there, a very caring staff, and I saw everything was in excellent condition. I do believe they work hard keeping it really together. I was there for several hours to tour the independent living, and they sent me home with a sandwich. I'm a vegetarian, so they made a special sandwich for me. It was good and had the most amazing flavor. There were a lot of greens and veggies on it. It was absolutely delicious, so somebody knew what they were doing. They have an exercise class, three meals a day, housekeeping, and transportation services. It's good because I recently gave up my car, not because I didn't want to, but because I just didn't want the responsibility anymore since I'm 75 years old. The staff was very pleasant and I was so impressed. That's the only place I visited so far that I'm so impressed with.

I liked the view and the amenities at The Fountains At Boca Ciega Bay. The person that gave us the tour was very nice and she had been there for a long time. They were in the process of remodeling rooms and putting fresh carpet in. They have bingo, a movie theater, they play cards, and someone was playing the piano when we were there. They said they get a breakfast, then either a choice of lunch or dinner.

The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay is beautiful, and the rooms have gorgeous views. The staff members are very supportive towards the family and keep us updated. There are a lot of activities for seniors including trips (when it's not in COVID). There are lots of recreations including a kayaking club. The people generally seem very happy there. Because it's COVID, there's minimum dining. From what I have seen, the food looks very good and much better than the last place he was at. They offer dining specific days a week, so they won't over-crowd due to COVID. Overall, the living atmosphere is very good. It's like a community, but the people seem to know each other. They all hang out outside together. When I walked in there were a couple of ladies chatting in the hallway. It seemed like a very close-knit community. They have a dog park and facilities for kayaking. A lot of it is shut down right now like their theater. They're not utilizing it right now because of COVID. They organize trips and outings often, but again they have to shut them down including cruises. The food is not as good as it was without COVID. We're paying about a half of what we were paying in California.

I'm very impressed with The Fountains At Boca Ciega Bay. There were a lot of amenities there and they had a good food menu. There was a real nice place for walking around outside. The staff all seemed very nice. Anytime I asked a question, they had the right answer. I'm going up in September to trial stay in a guestroom up there to see how much I really like it. I really like the studio apartment I'm going to get. It's big enough for me and I love the fact that it has a lot of closet space to store things. The dining area was set up very nice. They have lounges where you can sit and talk to other people and they have a pool table up there. I was really happy with the grounds outside. You get to pick the view you want. The staff was very courteous. Everything I saw was very clean and well kept. It was basically in my price range.

The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay is a very nice place. The staff is very good and a lot of them have been here for many years. The residents are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are comparable to the others. They are spacious, but you have to bring your own furniture. They have a lot of activities. You can stay very busy here. They have a lot of outings to different restaurants, museums, and they offer transportation to appointments.

To the friends and families of those living at The Fountains, you should be endlessly grateful to Suzanne, Executive Director of The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay and her dedicated team that devoted themselves selflessly over the past 5 days to ensure that your loved ones were safe and cared for. It was truly an honor to meet Suzanne and a humbling experience to witness her astounding leadership in a time of need. After 5 days, with I imagine little or no sleep, she was still, calm, efficient at working towards their safe return and providing constant communication to her team and residents. She is a gift...to her residents, to her employees and to the community. For those searching for a retirement community for either yourself or a loved one, I truly hope you consider The Fountains. The commitment I saw to their resident's safety and the execution of their emergency plan was truly first class. Suzanne and team, it would have been more of a pleasure under better circumstances, and we sincerely do hope you will return to Mission Inn Resort for a true leisure experience. Thank you for caring so much for the safety and well-being of your residents. You are a blessing.

I'm writing now because I have a brother who resides at The Fountains and he was so impressed with the way the staff handled the evacuation because of Irma. No one looks forward to leaving their comfortable home but in spite of the fact that he uses a walker, he felt the staff did everything possible to make his experience positive. I was so surprised when he returned and was not frustrated with evacuating. He has lived there for several years and has always had a very favorable opinion of the facility and how the staff attends to his needs. As his sister who lives out of this area during the summer, it puts my mind at ease knowing he is so content living there. He also loves the million dollar view overlooking the Gulf and Intracoastal Waterway!....Priceless!!

The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay looked very well run, but there was a mixture of independent and assisted there, which wasn't a fit for me. They had a pool, arts and crafts, a reading group, and a room for movies. The dining area looked nice. I had an appointment with the salesperson. They quickly called her and she came down within a couple of minutes from her office to greet us. They were friendly.

The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay was fine. The only thing was that the apartment they had available for my price range was the studio on the 18th floor, and I wasn’t OK with that. The staff was very helpful, very knowledgeable, and introduced me to some of the people who were all very nice. The place is both for independent and assisted living, and I don’t think I need assistance as of yet. The dining area looked wonderful.

I toured The Fountains (The Fountains At Boca Ciega Bay). I was told I could bring my dog, so I did, and within a few minutes, somebody came up and said to me, “Get your dog off the carpet.” So, I put him up on a walker. I chose to stay a night there to see what it would be like to stay overnight, but I am terrified of heights, and they put me on the 12th floor. I was terrified all night long. I did not have a really good experience. The facilities were very nice and lovely. There were outdoor activities and games.

I was very favorably impressed with this community. It is well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful a. All the residents I spoke with seemed happy to be there. In addition to the standard amenities, they offer many classes (Watermark University). That and the waterfront location are very appealing. I plan to become a resident.

Losing my husband has been very hard but being here with so many distractions, I have made a lot of friends. Everybody is very friendly, not only the employees but also the people that reside here.

The staff was good at The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay. The rooms and apartments were very dated. I thought they were smaller, but they had a nice view. The dining area was adequate. They had plenty of activities like bingo, Wii bowling and billiards. It was not where I want to be, but I would recommend it.

I joined The Fountains because with my house I had to go out for all the activities and here it’s all under one roof.

The Fountains at Boca Ciega Bay is a beautiful community on the water - they have such an amazing activities program and my father enjoys all that there is to do there! The staff is caring and professional and even though it is large they made my father feel right at home and eased his apprehension when he moved in.

Dad stays at The Fountains. The staff is very good and accommodating. They have a movie theater on weekends, two nights they have entertainment, big shows, music that comes in during the week, there’s a lot of clubs that people can join, they play cards, and Wii bowling is also available. They have a lot of outings, day trips, and transportation to doctor’s appointments. Dad is in a studio apartment. He doesn’t cook, but it does have cooking facilities, a small size refrigerator, and a bathroom. You go in the lobby and there are sofas and chairs, a piano, and floral arrangements; it’s very homey. I would recommend this to anybody looking for this type of facility.

I liked The Fountains very much. It was secure and it was within my budget. I like the rooms very much; they were roomy and clean. It was something I think I would be comfortable with. The most activities I was interested in were transportation, traveling. I think they had a mahjong club. They could improve on the cost; it was a little bit pricey.

My wife and I are going to move into The Fountains by the end of this month. It is an independent living facility. The facility looks very good to us. They have a lot of activities to choose from. They also offer services like laundry and housekeeping jobs.

The Fountains is one of the best so far. We were there last January for a birthday party for one of our friends who lives there. The place is clean and the staff was nice.

This facility is always clean and the residents love all the planned parties, games, talks and other activities that the staff provide. The staff are friendly and always know the names of the residents in their community I love their interaction with the residents. Jennifer N. is a great asset to the Fountains community.
