Fountainhead Homes is owner-operated.
"not just assisted living, but a long-term care alternative"
Our Team
The Fountainhead Homes Family
Since 2000, Fountainhead Homes has been supporting residents with complex & combination diagnoses such as Alzheimer’s & Dementia, Diabetes, Parkinson’s, Chronic & Progressive Diseases, and Mental Illness. What we have learned is that outside of the details of their diagnoses, all residents can best thrive in an environment that is intensely focused on their individual needs.
Our staff is certified in medication management and additionally trained in the special medical/physical needs of our residents – for example; sliding scale insulin, G-tubes, wound care, catheters, injections, lift support, feedings, and aphasia. Under the supervision of our RN, management team, and outside trainers, our highly trained staff members are able to use their knowledge and skills to provide a “home for life” for each of our residents, even as health care needs change or intensify. We offer palliative care and work with a hospice partner as needed. Our goal is to let residents stay at “home” with our Fountainhead family.
Our RN, Director, and Administrator are available onsite on a regular basis to get to know residents and proactively coordinate best care practices with staff. This familiarity with our residents makes proactive responses to changes in their needs – whether emotional or physical – a large factor in the quality reputation we have earned since 2000.
Fountainhead Homes is a leader in the care of residents with advanced dementia. While dementia can follow similar progressions, we have found that changes can often be varied and challenging. Our smaller, more intimate atmosphere is ideal for implementing a tailored plan of care. Residents with dementia need to be able to move at their own pace, express themselves freely, and most importantly: be heard. We’re able to build relationships of trust with our residents because they feel our compassion and desire to understand them. This enables us to be creative in providing best care practices. Our strong relationship with Dr. Kim Peterson and the Alzheimer’s & Dementia Alliance gives us additional support and guidance to meet our standard of healthcare excellence.
All staff members at Fountainhead Homes are experienced caregivers who must meet our company’s high expectations, including a depth of compassion that mirrors our mission. All staff must sign our Mission Care Agreement confirming their understanding of who we are and who we serve.
