FAQ

Questions families ask us most

Straight answers about cost, ALTCS, care, rooms, visiting and moving in.

Cost

How much does assisted living cost at Fountain Assisted Living?

Our monthly rate depends on the room (companionship or private) and how much help your parent needs day to day, which we set together after a free care assessment. One all-inclusive rate covers care, meals, medication administration, laundry, housekeeping, activities and utilities. Call (480) 299-3310 and we'll walk you through current rates and every option, including ALTCS.

Is there a community fee or move-in fee?

Call us for current move-in details. We'll give you every number in writing before you decide, with no surprises on the first bill.

ALTCS

Do you accept ALTCS?

Yes. We accept all three ALTCS plans in Maricopa County: Mercy Care, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan and Banner – University Family Care. ALTCS residents live in the same renovated rooms as private-pay residents.

Can my parent move in while the ALTCS application is pending?

Often, yes. Many families private-pay for the first month or two while ALTCS is approved, then switch. Call us and we'll walk through the timing with you.

What does an ALTCS resident pay?

ALTCS pays for the care. The resident usually pays a monthly share of cost and room and board from their own income, and keeps a personal needs allowance. Our ALTCS guide has a worked example.

Care

Do you provide memory care?

Yes. We are licensed for directed care, Arizona's highest assisted-living level, and care for residents with Alzheimer's and other dementias, including residents who wander. The building and backyard are secured.

What medical needs can you care for?

We care for residents who need Hoyer-lift transfers, insulin, catheter care, incontinence care, wheelchairs and walkers. We don't have a nurse on site, so we can't do catheter changes or other skilled-nursing tasks, and we don't admit hospice or behavioral-health residents.

Do you have a nurse on site?

No. Our caregivers are trained in assisted living and dementia care, and we coordinate with home health, physicians, pharmacies and ALTCS case managers for any skilled needs.

Are caregivers awake overnight?

Yes. Caregivers are awake and on duty 24 hours a day, every day.

Rooms

What is a companionship room?

It's our name for a shared room. Two residents share a large renovated bedroom, each with their own bed, nightstand, TV and storage. Many residents, especially those with dementia, feel calmer and less lonely with a roommate, and it makes care more affordable.

Do you have private rooms?

We have one private room. Call us to ask about availability and rates.

Can my parent bring their own furniture?

Rooms come furnished, and residents are welcome to bring photos, a favorite chair or quilt, and the things that make it feel like home.

Visiting

What are visiting hours?

Family can visit any day. Our normal hours are 8 am to 8 pm; outside those hours just call the family line so the caregivers know you're coming.

Can family bring food or have takeout delivered?

Yes. You're welcome to bring snacks and favorite meals or have takeout delivered. Let us know about any diet restrictions so we can help.

Can grandkids visit?

Please bring them. The backyard has a play set and swings so visits with little ones are easy and fun.

Moving in

How does move-in work?

Four steps: a tour, a free care assessment so we can set the care level and plan, paperwork (including a physician's order), then move-in day. When needs are urgent we can often move quickly.

What part of Mesa are you in?

We're at 2260 E Brown Rd, Mesa, AZ 85213, in north-central Mesa between Gilbert Rd and Lindsay Rd, a few minutes from the Loop 202.

Meals

Do you accommodate special diets?

Yes. Our kitchen makes diabetic-friendly, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free meals, and works around allergies and texture needs.
