Our read on Fountainview Ctr For Alzheimer

Fountainview Center for Alzheimer's is a 120-bed for-profit home in DeKalb County, and the inspection record is the part you need to weigh hardest. Fourteen deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and $45,465 in fines across three events. Staffing sits slightly under the national average, and weekends run about a fifth thinner than weekdays, a pattern that matters in a dementia unit, where supervision is the safety net. Turnover is roughly average, and the 4/5 quality measure score shows some clinical care is being tracked well. But quality measures come from submitted data; inspections come from what surveyors found on-site. The May 2025 inspection is recent, which is worth something. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse-related findings before you decide.
