I looked at a lot of places such as this before I made my selection as to where I would live. Most of the facilities that included utilities and food in the rent, were either poorly maintained or significantly more expensive than The Fountains. But what sealed the deal for me was when I was given a tour of TheFountains. The place was vibrant with activties and things to do! I lived there for a year prior to my leaving for the last place I'll likely ever live, and really the only issue I ever had at The Fountains was the lack of service, sometimes, in the dining room.<br>However, after living in three different places over the past few years that ranged from $2,700 a month to nearly $8,000.00 a month, I've concludedthat this is an issue at ALL of these kinds of facilities. But know this, the directive works hard at keeping enough help to satisfy all that live there. If you are looking to meet new friends, be active and have choices of things to do and places to go, as well as eat pretty good food, then this is your place to live!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. I moved my mom here from a place up north of the river about six weeks ago. She loves it. The food is great, the employees and residents are genuinely friendly and happy. The residents are heard and well taken care of. They do a walkthrough in the evenings to make sure the door sign is out indicating the resident is in for the night and also a walkthrough in the morning to make sure the sign is opposite showing they are out and about. There are several activities to get involved it. Her apartment is a one bedroom studio and she loves the space and layout, it’s perfect her and her dog. Very good choice and give me peace knowing she is well. It has been 3 years approximately since I moved my mom here. I wanted to update my review regarding the rent increases. Each January my mom’s rent has increased 6%. With the next increase her budget will be too tight and I am looking at other places. She still likes her apartment and maintenance is good. She just can’t afford this rent increase any longer. People should be aware of the increase history.

Love this place for my dad. He went through a difficult time. .Memory care, hospitalization, nursing homes, etc. He came here in hopes he could handle Independent living. They have so many resources that helped him heal and become self sufficient. Caring staff, beautiful bldg. , updates on bldg, and most important they answer the phone and help you through rough times.Terri is amazing along with all of the staff. Oh, by the way, dad is very happy with the food.

The Fountains at Greenbriar is a rare find in Independence! My 92-year-old mother lived here for five years until November 2025, and she loved every minute of it. The Executive Director is incredibly attentive, keeping the residents' physical safety and spiritual well-being at the forefront of everything she does.<br>The staff here are wonderful—they run the community smoothly and show genuine love for every resident. The food is consistently good, served by an excellent wait staff. We also loved the managed events and activities calendar, which fosters great social interaction and positive outcomes. I highly recommend The Fountains for anyone seeking a fair, reasonable place to live that truly puts residents first!"
