What this means for your family

Villa Fontana is an excellent choice if you are looking for a warm, family-oriented environment where staff are highly attentive to resident needs. However, if your loved one requires intensive medical intervention or has severe physical disabilities, you should investigate whether their specific level of care can be met here, as the facility may be better suited for those with lower acuity needs.

Key Review Excerpts

The staff are great with their charges! Very well cared for individual apartments, with safety for the tenants. Each tenant has a personal call fob to call for assistance anywhere in the facilities.

Local Guide · 2024★★★★

My mother has now been residing at Villa Fontana for about 5 months. She loves the staff and her apartment (as she calls it). The care is fantastic and I am at peace knowing her needs are well taken care of.

Long-term resident's family · 2018★★★★★

Great family run residential home. You can feel the positive energy from the staff and it shows on the faces of the folks living there. Always someone there to help you.
