An elderly care facility that tries to let seniors live out the rest of their lives with dignity. Granted, some care facilities lack staff because they pay little more than minimum wage and have a high turnover because it is hard work. This facility is clean and nice, serves meals, and has some planned activities. What it lacks is an engaging experience for the elderly to enjoy. The activities at facilities like this tend to be all incluseive, which makes those activities non challenging and dull for fully functioning seniors. All said and done, this facility has a pleasing atmosphere, although a little dull, and cares for senior to the best ability that they can afford.

Beautiful and a world class community, very warm and personable team members to work with. Out friends and families kept taking pictures in front, inside and back view facing Fountaingrove Lake. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food, and the staff was very attentive and kind as well. Come visit and stay in Varenna at Fountaingrove... make this your home.

Wonderful, award winning community that provides five star services and amenities including pools, fitness center, wine cave, five star dining, daily events, outings, performances, and activities, library, art studio, hobby shop, and business center. Residents and family members also enjoy five star dining in one of our 3 dining rooms and bar. It truly is a luxurious, living experience attentive to the needs and well-being of all residents.

We had a special event held at Varenna and worked closely with Michael, the Marketing Director. From start to finish, Michael made the event booking process seamless & the execution surpassed our expectations. We had additional requests from the staff throughout the evening that were not originally planned for. The entire Varenna staff was able to accommodate our needs under a time crunch. I would highly recommend this beautiful property. The service, food, facilities and amenities are top notch.
