Fountainhead Homes

Highly professional management. High quality care at a surprisingly affordable price!

Fountainhead Homes has been nothing short of fantastic in the over 5 years that I have experienced firsthand. Their procedures and care during the Covid 19 pandemic has far exceeded my expectations. It is evident that the staff, management and owners care deeply for the residents there and put them as a priority. I would 100% recommend Fountainhead Homes for your loved one.

My husband and I were volunteer guardians for our friend who had complex medical issues, including dementia. After a number of difficult living situations we were fortunate enough to find her a spot in Fountainhead Home in DeForest. She had absolutely wonderful and compassionate care there. We very much appreciated the regular communications from her care team, especially during the Covid lockdown. I have recommended Fountainhead to a number of people without hesitation. This is a staff that cares.

My mother has been there since it opened a couple years back. The staff was always so sooo sweet and welcoming, my mother always talks about how she loves everyone there which makes me so happy because she is my world

After several years of our mother living with Dementia, we were forced to find a care facility for her to live for the final months of her life. After much searching, we luckily found Fountainhead Homes, where each resident has their own bedroom and bathroom. Each home only has eight residents, so this small family setting allowed our mom to feel secure. The staff quickly got to know her personality, needs, wants, and routines. Our mom only lived there four months before she passed away, but in that short time, the staff became like our family too, due to their concern and compassion for our mom, and the wonderful communication they maintained with us.

Two months later, when our dad’s physical health got to a point where he could no longer live at home alone, he asked to move to the same facility where our mom had been, Fountainhead Homes. Dad wanted the same wonderful care at the end of his life that Mom received at the end of her life. Once again, Ruth and Joe (owners), their family, and staff provided the next best thing to home. Dad was able to enjoy what independence he had left while still getting all the physical assistance he needed. Our dad had severe spinal stenosis which presented several unique physical disabilities that most people don’t encounter. Ruth and her staff went above and beyond doing everything they could to meet all of Dad’s needs. For many, adjusting to assisted living is challenging, but Dad arrived at Fountainhead just before the COVID-19 quarantine, which made this transition even more difficult. However, his new Fountainhead family did everything they could to make Dad feel that Fountainhead was not only his new home, but that he also was not alone even though his family could not visit him during the COVID quarantine.

Because Fountainhead Homes is family-owned and family-run, they were able to adjust to our dad’s quickly changing physical needs. Since each home has only eight residents, they simply become a family, and have the opportunity to eat together, watch TV together, and play games together. Our dad looked forward to watching football in the living room where they all gathered to watch TV and see the Badgers and Packers play. The sidewalks that go around and connect the different buildings provided our dad and his housemates the opportunity to go outside to enjoy the weather and get some exercise.

We didn’t expect that when we placed our mother in Fountainhead Homes because of her dementia, it would also prove to be the perfect place for our father who was mentally fit, but physically not able to care for himself.

We will be forever grateful to Ruth and Joe, and their family and staff, for making our parents part of their family and providing care when we no longer could.
