I'm at The Fountains at Millbrook. I like it very much. The staff is very helpful and very friendly. I'm in a one-bedroom cottage, but they have apartments in the main building. I haven't participated very much because I've been busy unpacking. They have exercise classes, parties, art lessons, opera classes, and some religious classes. They give one meal a day. There's also assisted living, but I don't know anything about that. There's an exercise room, two libraries (one fiction, one nonfiction), an auditorium, and an art studio. There's no large entrance fee. You don't have to buy in. This is a rental. It's beautiful here.

We kind of like The Fountains at Millbrook, but we have not made any commitments yet. I thought the tour was good. The person who was conducting it was very comprehensive and very knowledgeable. I thought it was very nice. The rooms were very good, spacious, very clean, very modern, and in very good shape. We didn't get to eat any food, but the dining area was a really nice and very pleasant area. They had exercise classes and art classes, and you could walk the property. They have 200 acres there, and it's just a really nice area.

I looked at The Fountains at Millbrook independent living. Mom may have to have assisted living, but it may be out of our budget. It's a great place, and I wish I could afford the assisted living portion of it. I spoke with Anne, and she was phenomenal and very knowledgeable. The room in the independent living would have been perfect for my mother, and I would love for her to go there if it was affordable. Anne is going to call me back, and she gave me a brochure, but I didn't go through it because I wasn't committing. The residents seemed very nice and seemed well cared for. It's a wonderful place. One meal is included and so is housekeeping.

Fountains at Millbrook's staff was very nice, and we're very impressed. The apartments were inside the main building and close to where you go to have your meals, so everything was very convenient. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and had walking trails. They also had bus transportation within the community. The price was fairly reasonable for what you're getting. It’s expensive, but they give you a lot.

The Fountains was wonderful, peaceful, and our first choice. The people were all so friendly and helpful. We had a delcious meal there. They offered my dad a wheelchair for the tour, which was very nice. They had a workout room, a place to do arts and crafts projects, and they showed me the artwork of the people that lived there. They had trips to the theater and social hour on Friday nights. We were very impressed with it.

We had been to The Fountains at Millbrook and it was an absolutely wonderful place. It had so much to offer, and it was fantastic. The only negative I had was that it was an hour and a half away from my children, and we lived an hour and forty five minutes away from them now. I had been hoping to be closer to them, because both of us were elderly. Ruthie was an absolutely incredible woman. We had been chatting back and forth for several years now as we tried and made decision with the house. We would prefer to have a two-bedroom and two-bath unit, and I thought their rooms were wonderful. I was sure that it would be adequate. We had been to their programs, we had meals with them, and the food was very good. The dining area was cheery and bright. From the time we started going there until now, they had redone the whole dining room. They had a fantastic art room and they people came in to give lessons from time to time. They had knitting, crocheting, and beading. They had programs that you could partake in outside the facility. The bus would pick you up and take you them. Everything about it was beautiful.

My visit to the Fountains at Millbrook was very pleasant. The facility is immaculate. Everyone I met there was very nice and very courteous. They have an art room where they could do painting and pottery and other creative art projects. They also have a woodcarving room, a library, and a television room. They had a speaker while I was in there speaking to a group in the library. They offer a variety of apartments. The 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom were all in a central facility. They also had cottages on the grounds with a 1-car garage on them as another option. The dining room was very roomy. It looked like a restaurant with white tablecloths and a wait staff. The atmosphere was very friendly. The people were very friendly and welcoming. It was just too expensive for me.

I thought The Fountains at Millbrook was superb. The scenery was beautiful, and the setting was exquisite. I tried to talk my mom into it, but she just wasn't willing, although she did admit that the setting was beautiful and the facility was wonderful. Their accommodations were spacious and well-maintained. Their location was convenient in terms of getting to the central facilities, such as the cafeteria. Everything was within walking distance if you can walk. They invited my mom to stay for free for a weekend, I believe, in one of the apartments that was shown to us. I don't remember specific activities, but they did have plenty of activities there. We did see the dining area, but we were not invited for a meal. Overall, I would give them a four, only because I felt they did not offer enough meals as part of the cost. It included one meal only in terms of the payment, and if you wanted more, it was extra, so I thought it was a little on the expensive side myself.
