We had a wonderful visit, totally private, easy to sit with our loved one. In the afternoon, the residents that wanted to go were treated to music and a singing couple, very nicely done. The residents liked it. Very nice!

They give excellent care they worry about every patient they keep the place clean and the rooms are clean and he needs it the patient needs they fulfill it great place to be if you have to be there
I hate to give 2 star reviews, but this place is not good at all. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because there were a few incredible staff who truly cared about me and did everything to have my needs met within their limits, and I will never forget them! Just one example of poor treatment - 2 nights before I was discharged, my expensive Fendi eyeglasses where stolen from my room. The head staff refused to check the cameras in the hallways and take ownership and replace my eyeglasses. I had hints to who it may have been that stole them but the staff refused to confront the person. My private insurance paid 3k a night for my stay while 99% of the patients where on government insurance and they got maybe 1k a night for them. Not to say that everyone doesn't deserve to be treated equal... but they could afford to replace my stolen glasses. Also the therapy was horrible. Thank God I got to see what a normal subacute rehab looks like after going to a better place in Lakewood when I had another relapse. My advice to anyone reading this who is looking to go here or send a loved one here... look before you leap.
I recently visited FountainView and i was impressed. The facility was clean, quiet and restful. The staff were very friendly and answered all my questions. They helped me find my friend who was busy with activities at the time. I stayed in the background watching her laughing and playing with her new friends. I was impressed because i never saw her happy after she got sick. She looked twenty years younger. Kerp up the good work!
Very Satisfied with Fountain View, It's very beautiful, neat and clean. The staff were professional and appear to be happy working there. The air was fresh and odor free. PPE was worn by all staff.
