The lady from The Fountains of Melbourne gave me a tour of the place and she was great. She showed me the unit that I was interested in (and everything else) and answered pretty much all my questions.
The building looked great. They were redoing the front part of it where you come in and it looked nice and clean. I have a dog and they would allow dogs, but you had to be on the first floor. They also provide two meals a day.

I chose The Fountains of Melbourne for my aunt. The two places I visited were both a very tight choice, but The Fountains was a little bit busier for more activities. They had a health fair going on when we toured. It was very active. There's a lot of things for them to do. The tour showed activity places and dining. The activities facility and the things that they offered for people to do were great. They had cards, sitting around socializing, movies, and books. The staff was very pleasant. Everybody was chatty. The staff people came up and talked to us, "Oh, you're visiting, how nice!" I looked at both assisted living and independent, but my aunt will be in independent. I wanted to make sure that there was a place that went from one to the other without me having to move her again.

The Fountains of Melbourne was a very nice place. It was my second choice. It was a little pricier, but it's very clean and very friendly. All of the residents had smiles on their faces. They had a lot of activities and it seemed like a lot of people were in the workout room and in the crafts room. Some were playing cards. It seemed like they have a lot of people that hang around together and they all interact with each other.
Anna was the one in charge and who gave us a tour. She was a very nice girl. She bent over backwards to do whatever I needed to get my mom into that place. Their rooms were quite a bit bigger. Every room had a screened-in patio (if you're above the first floor) or a screened-in porch (if you're on the first floor). So, you get your own porch or patio out to look out over the trees.

The Fountains of Melbourne was a bit newer and a little bit more of a modern building. They have an outdoor swimming pool and the people were nice. One thing I did like is that most of their one-bedroom units also had what they called a den along with it. It's not a full-size bedroom, but a room that you could put a couch in that could be made into a bed and that kind of thing if you needed to.
I toured their independent living and the only reason I'm backing it off of a perfect rating is that they had a centralized laundry. It's per floor, but it was centralized rather than laundry within the units.
I didn't have food there but they asked me if I wanted to and I had just eaten before meeting with them so I turned them down. The food thing is a bit complicated because they only offered two meals a day. You could buy the extra meal on a monthly basis though if you wanted.
They had a swimming pool and an exercise room there. Since it's warm here in Florida, it was an outside pool, and I guess it could be heated, too. Other than that, they had two standard reading rooms, computer rooms, library type of thing and all that. They also have a hairdresser. It's pretty much the same things available in the other places.

I went to look at The Fountains of Melbourne. It was very clean. All the people were very friendly. They had a lot of entertainment for someone. The ability to eat when you wanted to, the choices were very good for you. It was a beautiful place. The scenery around it was gorgeous. The staff was very, very friendly, very knowledgeable, and answered any of my questions. The parking was too far for a walk. They have little screen porches outside your apartment, a swimming pool, and a court area that you can just go out and sit.

The apartment at Fountains of Melbourne was nice and spacious. I have not seen a senior room this spacious before, it's a 2-bedroom. The amenities are close at hand, and it will make it easy for them to still enjoy living and participating in various activities. Everyone was very friendly and very helpful. It's just a very nice place overall. The surroundings are very beautiful and very welcoming. The people were very friendly. They were waving at my dad. I just think that they will be very comfortable and be able to make friends. I think they will actually thrive there and not be isolated.
We had breakfast there, and the dining area was absolutely beautiful. They get served three meals a day, so they don't have to worry about cooking or any of that. The food was very good.
They have a fitness room where they have chair exercises that both my mom and dad can participate in and stay strong. They have a card room. They have virtual bowling. They have an arts and crafts room, and they have bingo. They have several activities that my parents can get involved in and stay social.
The staff that I met were extremely friendly, helpful, and timely. In terms of food, there were many choices. They weren't just saying this is what we're serving today. You actually had choices on the menu. The facilities are very clean and kept up nicely.

I went to The Fountains. They had the most beautiful one-bedroom with a den, it was just what I was looking for, but the parking was way, way, away, and you couldn't park near the building. The other drawback was it was independent living and assisted living. I worked as a social worker, I would fall in love with the people, and they would die, so until I need it, I didn't want to do that in my retirement, because I love people. You had to get those little cars, or an electric wheelchair to get to your vehicle, so that was the positive and the negative. For the apartment I give it a five. For the accessibility, even where they had people with assisted living, it was not equipped correctly, and it has been there for a while, but they never updated it to allow parking near the complex. You have to walk blocks to get to where they have a parking lot, that people who drive go to. They do have a van, but I still drive, and on that, accessibility to the vehicles. I give them a two.
Extremely pleased

My husband and I lived here. Because of the yearly increases, we were forced to find other accommodations. The constant loss of staff members made it difficult for all of us. We miss our dear friends, but the staff could care less. They sucked us in and drained our bank account. Shame on you!! The parking distance and walking distance to dining was ridiculous and the food was mostly frozen type and warranted a very long wait time to receive. You don't always get what you pay for. We lost a few friends for the same reasons and never thought they would do this to us. Disgraceful. Thank goodness our children helped us find the right community!!

We toured the independent level of The Fountains at Melbourne, I was really pleased to see it. The grounds were lovely, the atmosphere was very nice, and the food was good. I met the staff and they were really nice, welcoming, pleasant, and friendly. The place was large and looked nice. The apartments were roomy, with a small kitchenette with no stove, a refrigerator, and a microwave. It was just lovely. The apartment also had a screened porch on the ground floor.
