About The Fountains at La Cholla
The Fountains at La Cholla is a licensed assisted living center in Tucson, in Pima County, and that is the name its website uses. In ADHS records it goes by THE GARDENS AT LA CHOLLA, licensed for 28 residents at the directed care level (Assisted Living Center-Directed), as of September 2026.
The website is run by Watermark Retirement Communities, and it describes memory care with private suites in the Gardens Neighborhood, with registered nurses and caregivers giving support around the clock. The site also lists 2 pools open every day, scheduled transportation for medical appointments, shopping and outings, and a welcome for small pets, with guidelines. It mentions short stays, too, for families who need temporary support for someone they love.
The company says the starting rate covers rent and services but not personal care, which is priced separately.
Visit in the afternoon and sit in the dining room for a while. Ask to see the actual room, not the model.

Our referral disclosure
Before we refer you to any assisted living home, we send you this notice to read and sign. Here it is now, so you can read it at your own pace.
Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.
We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 70 to 100 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.
By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:
1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.
2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
To end our services at any time, reply to any email from us or call Integrity Senior Placement at 480.271.7759.
