The CNAs, the "med" nurses, physical & occupational therapists, housekeeping- all have become like family during these past weeks. As a widow with no family here I have sincerely appreciated the excellent care & camaraderie given to me and all the patients here. In my opinion, there is only one facility in this area to be trusted for skilled nursing & rehabilitation. That's The Fountains.

Both my immediate family and my in-laws were in a situation where our loved ones were no longer safe in their respective homes. They just needed more care than what they were getting. We didn't k ow who to turn to or where to start looking for safe homes that could provide our loved ones what was needed. We got Kelley's contact information and on both instances in under a week both my grandmother and my mother in law were placed in safe homes where they were being properly cared for. They were safe and happy and that's all we could have asked for. Kelley is definitely someone to call if you're looking for help placing a loved ones!! It's an impossibly difficult task, don't go it alone. CALL KELLEY!!!

Kelley with First Choice was the best choice our family could have made. Working with her was an absolute joy. She came to the hospital, spoke at length with my mom, addressed all of our concerns and gently explained the different types of care available. The options she presented were well thought out, explained in a kind and patient way, and made us feel confident in our decision to place mom at a board and care in Roseville. I'm happy to say she is thriving, and getting the proper nutrition and care she needs to recover. Thank you Kelley for finding the perfect spot for my mom and taking care of all the details. We are so grateful to have worked with you.

He was tasked to find a assisted care facility with specific environments. His choices were all on the money but unfortunately my mom kept coming up with more requirements. If it were me, I would have selected any one of the ones he suggested. He was toughtful and caring of what I wanted for my mom. However, she was steered to another facility in Fremont that filled all of her specifications and then some (primarily an Asian community). She sadly passed in April 2019.

If you love the elderly person in your life, do not send them to this facility. On the surface, it…read moreseems well run, clean, beautiful grounds and all of that. But beware. The doctor in charge, Dr. Bahl, is only required to visit the people in the nursing facility once a month and apparently he will not bend that rule even if a patient is sick and needs attention. I placed my 85 year old dad in this facility after a quadruple bypass. He was in very delicate condition. He left the hospital looking and feeling pretty good all things considered but within one week, his health went down dramatically. He quit eating. He lost weight. He looked horrible. I became worried. I asked the nurses to have the doctor visit him. They said he only comes around once a month. I then asked them to have the doctor call me. He never did. I spoke to the physical therapist and told her I was deeply concerned and wanted him discharged. She spoke to this Dr. Bahl and then told me he denied my request for my dad's release!!! Can you believe it?? Without even speaking to me or visiting my father. It was like living a nightmare. My dad fell! He fell TWO NIGHTS in a row waiting for someone to take him to the bathroom. No one would answer the call light so he tried to go to the bathroom on his own and fell. Twice. He injured himself and was bleeding from his catheter. The nurses were extremely rude to me when I complained. They still did not get the doctor over there to see my dad even though he was bleeding. Horrified and afraid, I set up appointments for my father with doctors outside the facility and took him to his regular physician even though the head nurse told me that Medi-Care would not pay for his seeing any other physician than this absent Dr. Bahl and that I should just wait until he made his rounds. I asked her when that would be, she said she did not know. WTF????? So I took him anyway and thank god I did. Check this out. My dad's regular physician ran a blood test on him "stat" because he looked so sick and out of it. Turned out my dad's sodium level had dropped to a dangerous 107. He was admitted to the hospital on an emergency basis. My dad could have had a stroke. He could have died. He was so delirious he didn't know where he was. It was heartbreaking. This "skilled" nurses at the facility didn't even notice. Do not ever send your loved one to this place. I am still contemplating whether I should sue their asses for this. I am so angry. But I'm dealing with my dad's fragile health right now and will have to think about it later. He is doing much better being cared for by inexperienced family members than the "skilled nursing" he received at The Fountains. He's gained weight and is well again after being re-hospitalized for 4 days. While I was there visiting my poor dad, I personally witnessed the people who run this place leaving the residents parked in the lobby sleeping in their wheelchairs with no supervision. Nothing. Just abandoned there. Poor things. I would never send anyone I loved to this house of horrors.

After researching available facilities on the Medicare website, this was not the facility I wanted…read more IT fails on one key area- NURSING. Maybe this is why it was the only one with an available bed. Most of the Nurses are awesome but they are under staffed. This is a big problem for elderly who have any cognitive issues. My mother has a difficult time with finding the nurses button and if it wasn't for her roommate being awesome, mom would have attempted to use the bathroom herself several times and that would be a disaster. Their remedy would be an alarm connected to the wheel chair- which can mean too late because they already stood up and will be on the floor. They left my mother in a wheelchair for 4 hours- post surgery after laying for 2 weeks. When I complained, they said it was part of therapy. When I agreed that sitting was important but to go from laying to 4 hours in a wheel chair with the nurses button on the opposite of the bed; they looked at me as if my words were not welcome. I am a professional and know you have to choose words carefully if you desire a positive outcome but honestly, their head nurse was rude and seeminly narcissistic. That afternoon, a nurse who makes daily rounds just to change bandages told me mom had a bed sore starting on her lower back that wasn't there 2 days ago. I asked about the 4 hours in a wheelchair and she said "Yes, that would make sense based on where it is located". She was reserved with her remarks but whispered "you need to file a complaint". She also had to elevate moms legs with a pillow because her ankles were double swollen- also due to the wheelchair incident. I inquired as to if they monitor water intake because mom seemed a bit mentally impaired-- and I have learned over the years dehydration causes this-- I was told no they do not monitor. If you can- Put your loved one in River Valley in Live Oak. They got high marks on the medicare website above nationaal average and even nurses at Rideout Hospital had said they would put their parent there. Thats pretty bad when their own employees recommended it. Its an older facility, smaller, but the one on one care is there. They also have a doctor on site.
