Bait and switch

They pull the bait and switch. When you move in, they promise you one price and they raise it by 12 to 15% every year after that. This has really been the only thing that I have been upset about since moving my loved one in.

A happy place to be!

My overall experience has been beyond my expectations. The place is very clean inside and out. The once a week housekeeping service is very good. I don't have to do any floors, bathroom or kitchen cleaning. I do make my own bed and my own laundry but they do that too if I wanted them to. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. Know you by name just like a small neighborhood. Always there when needed. I feel very comfortable and safe here. They prepare three healthy meals a day plus a fabulous and delicious bre

My review of Fountain Crest

The staff members here are so lovable, and they just opened back up the pool for exercise classes this morning. They also have a variety of activities and movie every nights so you will never get bored.

Affordably Good Retirement Community

There are some activities for the residents to choose from. There are three meals a day for the residents and the food was good. The only critique I have is, I wish they had better transportation for the residents to go shopping or to go to medical appointments.
