Welcome to Fountain Springs Healthcare Center! At Fountain Springs, we make every effort to help you feel at home. Our recreation department offers a wide range of activities and outings. We create a care program individualized to your specific needs.

Whether you are in need of post-acute (short-term) or long-term care, our skilled nursing communities are designed to promote rehabilitation in a high-quality and compassionate environment. As a resident, your needs and preferences shape your experience, from food choices to activities. We are committed to helping you feel at ease, at rest, and at home.

Rehabilitation therapy services aim to restore residents to their highest level of functioning. Physical therapy is designed to relieve pain and enhance health. Occupational therapy strives to equip patients with the necessary skills—and often, customized tools—for proper self-care, such as dressing, personal hygiene, and cooking. Speech and Language Pathologists assist residents in achieving improved quality of life through assessment of language, swallowing, and/or cognitive disorders.

Assisted Living creates the perfect balance between activity, engagement, and relaxation. Our communities offer residents an active and independent lifestyle coupled with a full slate of care services provided as you need them. We strive to build an environment with plenty of choices designed to foster your preferred way of life. From simple housekeeping and nutritious meals to hygiene and healthcare, we strive to keep you healthy, happy, and cared for. Your plans, interests, and goals are our first priority. We’re ready to do everything we can to help you live life to the fullest.

Our outpatient services are convenient and personalized to give you the precise level of care you need. Our therapists utilize advanced technology to reduce pain and swelling while helping injuries heal more quickly. We incorporate highly effective therapy that is often used by professional sports teams, including a patented form of electrical stimulation that helps increase muscle strength and reduce pain. Our treatment plans also utilize specialized equipment to optimize muscle performance and improve balance.

For residents with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related conditions, EmpRes communities provide a structured, comfortable environment within our care center. Our care teams work to deliver consistent, stable care while creating an environment of vitality, warmth, and understanding. We use a person-centered approach and memory cues to instill a sense of familiarity. Our programs and events also encourage daily connection. Our goal is to stimulate memory and provide residents with meaningful experiences.

We understand that facing a loved one exhibiting symptoms of Alzheimer’s or related dementia can be a confusing and troubling time in your life. We will help you to understand the disease and gain knowledge about the best methods of care for your loved one.

Many factors can necessitate temporary placement in a warm, welcoming environment that provides skilled nursing care. Our short-stay program, also known as Respite Stay, provides time you need with the peace of mind knowing your loved one is cared for in a comfortable and supporting place.

To enhance quality of care and life, EmpRes strongly supports your right to make decisions about your care, including whether to accept or refuse life prolonging measures and treatments. We understand this is a challenging time for you and your family. We work together with you and your family to provide support and information for proactive self-advocacy and care decisions.

We offer dignified care, symptom management, and physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort to individuals suffering from a life-threatening illness. Our team collaborates with your and your physician to maximize your quality of life by developing a plan of care based on your diagnosis, symptoms, and other individualized needs.
