My dad is a resident of The Fountains at Mill Cove. They tried really hard to keep up. The facility is older and needs some repair. I do feel like it is safe and clean, but it is getting run down. I think it is all good. My dad included in his rent or his stay there the services for three meals a day down in the cafeteria or dining room, but he does not like the food. There have been other complaints, but people do eat there every day. I think it's probably sufficient.
My dad loves the happy hour on Fridays. They have some entertainment for an hour. They serve wine and beer. They have some music. He really enjoys that, but he doesn't participate in a lot of things they offer. They do offer quite a bit. Once a week, they have a van that takes them to the bank, the grocery store, Wal-Mart, and that kind of thing. Because my dad doesn't drive, it is a real plus for that that place. We've been very happy with him there.

My father has been there for 4 years. They have done an outstanding job with the care. My father is a very independent and honestly a stubborn person. They are very patient and accepting with him. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the staff. I am very comfortable with my father there. I feel confident that he is in good hands. It is always easy for someone to say something negative. My father has been there long enough for me to know what a good job they are doing.

We've been to the Fountains at Mill Cove. The staff was very friendly and it seemed clean. I feel like I should see it at a good point in the day because it was a nasty day so a lot of residents were not out. I didn't see anything negative or any red flags that were striking but I heard one of the residents complaining that their room was not cleaned appropriately at the moment. Another woman just said she wasn't very happy there and was trying to leave so I don't think the residents were very happy with the place.
It was the independent living that we visited. I think they had a nature walking group there. We also saw an apartment and it was spacious but honestly, it wasn't an empty one so it was with someone's stuff in it. I can't say much more about it just because it was one of her things and belongings and it was very cluttered.
I saw a list of their activities online, but I didn't see any of those things taking place during my visit.

I visited the independent living and assisted living of Fountains at Mill Cove. The independent living rooms were small, but adequate for my needs. The dining area looked nice, but the thing that stood out for me is, they told me that the community has a meeting with the dining staff regularly (I don't remember if it was monthly or less frequently than that) to talk about what they like and what they might want. The day I was there, they were having a Mardi Gras activity that they invited me to come back to, I didn't go back, but they had brought food trucks in for the residents to enjoy.

I'm at the Fountains at Mill Cove. It is a nice place. The way the employees treat you, like the kitchen workers and all that, they're nice. I like the place. They have things that I like and enjoy. They have craft shops for people that enjoy doing crafts. They have a solarium, which I love. You go in there and it's so relaxing. I've been recommending this because it is really nice. I like the majority of the staff. They're good, friendly, and they're always there if we need help. They're there for you. They have a cleaning lady that comes in once a week and does the cleaning for you, the counters, and all that. It's just pretty good.
I like working with the plants, but we can't do that yet because of the weather. Once the weather clears up, I can get out there and work with plants. They have little bus trips and they just leave things open for people. They have bus trips to the mall and Dollar Stores. Sometimes, they just go out on tours. They keep you busy. They have three meals a day. You can go in for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the food is pretty good. They've got a decent chef, but it's always the same thing. They're real big on fish and chicken and I'm not. Value for money is good. The only time I require anything is maintenance. They are really good.

My mother-in-law is at The Fountains at Mill Cove. It's great. They have crafts and activities for the residents daily. She's only been there a day, though. There are lots of places to walk, and because it's a spread-out facility, you can basically do a lot of walking indoors. So, you're in a climate-controlled environment while you're walking.
The staff are very friendly and willing to help. They're helping her find resources if she needs something, and they're coming to her door and introducing themselves.
It's an older facility that needs some updates. There is wall-to-wall carpeting everywhere, and I think it would just feel cleaner if they had some kind of hard-surface floors for residents instead of old carpet.

I liked the apartments at Fountains at Mill Cove. They weren't as nice as the other one we visited, but they were adequate and people were very nice. They were having an ice cream social in the middle of the day. The ladies took me around and introduced me to the residents. All of them were saying, "This is where you need to be."
They also give you three meals a day, electricity, phone, and weekly housekeeping. They would come in once a week to clean the place, change and wash your sheets, and put them back on. The staff was just very, very, very good. Courtney was really good as well. The place was as clean as it could be. They had a patio and all, but no pool.

We are hoping to move my mom into Fountains at Mill Cove this week. She'll be in independent living. The process of moving, giving information, following up and all that is going great. I've seen the place and it's clean and well-kept, very roomy, the people are very pleasant to be around and everybody's friendly.
They've shown us the activities that they can do, and there's a lot there. They have crafts, bingo, reading, outings, and social events. They have an atrium that is sunlit, but close to the outside, so it's a very bright area, with a pond in there. A very pleasant place to sit in.

They've got an excellent staff here in Fountains at Mill Cove. They've shown me the ropes, so to speak. They even helped me fill out all the forms that I had to fill out for my veteran's benefits. They have tons of activities every day, good food, and friendly people.
People go out and walk, they have another activity where you walk your dog too. They have a shuttle that will take you to church on Sundays. They have a Daily Chronicle, which is like a little newsletter, it lets you know what's going on. They also have something called a Nature Walk, crossword puzzles, a wheelchair, and walker repair. We have popcorn, usually about 1:30 every other day. They have bingo, card games, and shopping trips 3 or 4 times a week. They have a scooter school so if you get a scooter from either your own accord or through the government, they have a little school that they show you how to operate it, how to put on the gas, put on the brakes, and how to steer it.
They have a menu chat where you can talk about the menu and what you like and what you don't like. They have what they call the Wii bowling, the brain twister, and pet therapy, where those who don't have animals can go and they bring dogs in and you can pet them. They have arts and crafts and they just have a bunch of stuff here. They have a resident council too.
They have a party coming up this weekend called the Spring Festival. They also have what they call compassionate moments discussion, they have grief support in case you have lost a family member and they also have what they call the calming arch. They have an active committee and a drive-in movie. They got just about everything you might want to find in a community. There's a river that runs through the facility here and you can go out, they've got an island out there where you can go out and fish. They have gardening, you can go out and you can plant and take good care of it. They got dominoes, cards, and you name it.
I have one of the smaller rooms, by choice, but it's very large for just a kitchen and a bed. It's almost 500 square feet. There's a nice balcony that you can go out to and overlooks the lake. I'm very satisfied with it.
The food's good, it's fresh and well-cooked. They offer a wide variety of choices at every meal, they'll give you a menu and you just pick off the menu what you want. They have a couple of different entrees and they have all sorts of drinks like lemonade, iced tea, milk, and water.

My sister is moving out of Fountains at Mill Cove to go to Colorado to her son's house. She has been there for two months now. It's a large, nice-looking place. However, she is not happy there because it's too restricted for her lifestyle. Part of it is because of Covid, but the general gist is that she isn't happy. She doesn't like the food either. She isn't happy with the age of the people that are there. They are all older than her. I don't have any problems with the staff members. She has a 1-bedroom apartment, but they have a variety of rooms. They have a bingo and the usual things you see in a nursing home, but it's rather restrictive because of Covid. The staff is fine. The facility is laid out in a large area, and it's made for a lot of walking. I would give the activities a 2 because of Covid right now; it's probably better then.

I liked it. They have a really good and beautiful facility. It's great except that I need to cook my own food. The apartments are nice but there's not kitchen, and I can't be without a kitchen. The staff members were beautiful people, friendly, and so helpful, so it was a neat and great experience. The place is really pretty, which is what attracted me to it. I saw the picture and I went and it really is pretty and nice. The community is nice and they're very busy people. I noticed that they do a lot of things. It's perfect for a person who needs that kind of living. What impressed me the most was the way the staff caters to their residents. You get the cleaning and laundry done. I really think it's a great place.

We moved in yesterday at Brookdale Atrium Way. So far, it's fine. The place is very clean and very caring. The staff is excellent. They're very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very helpful so far. The food is excellent too.

We liked it, but we decided not to do anything at this particular point. We had lunch there, and the food was very good. The staff was very friendly. The rooms were small, especially for two, and they didn't have anything available in a two-bedroom, which is what we were looking for.

My parents are in this community. They're all friendly, and it's very clean. They provide all of the meals, which are pretty good. The apartments are very nice. It is near a lot of places and shopping areas, and there's a bus that takes them shopping if they want to sign up to go at certain times. It's a nice area. They're finding things that interest them little by little, but they have a lot of activities.

My parents are here. The staff is very nice, and they seem to be helpful. They are in a two-bedroom apartment, and it is nice. They have card games, ice cream parties, church services, music nights, and movie nights. They also have free transportation to go to different places during the week. I like that it is pretty and inviting, the dining room is beautiful, the staff seems to try to be helpful, and it is pretty clean.

I think the staff is OK. They are knowledgeable. The rooms are nice. They are a little spacious. They are not the cleanest, but they are OK. They have a lot of activities. They have bingo, a weight room, and arts & crafts. They have a lot of stuff. I like that it is convenient and reasonable.

I chose it because it's closer to where I live and after my mom had gotten out of the hospital for a surgery, they had put her on a rehab side at the Atrium and we liked it. Now she is in the independent living side of the facility. The staff was very professional and everyone is very, very friend. I think they are doing a great job. They have bingo, bowling, they have entertainers like singer and guitar players come in and there are different areas through out the building where there other things that they can do like play cards or make puzzles and they've got a physical therapy set up in there for them as well.
