At the Fountains at the Albemarle, our associates enjoy a workplace that feels like a second home. As soon as you walk through the doors, you are met with warm greetings and welcomes from fellow associates and residents alike, all who have become like family. At our community, we encourage associates to get to know our residents and learn about them on a personal level so that we can provide excellent and compassionate care on a heartfelt level. Here, it is not just about the excellent care we provide, but building connections with our residents and families. Often, our residents ask about our children and we know their life histories. It is because of these friendships that our associates feel a sense of purpose and that our residents end up helping us just as much as we help them. This may also contribute to the longevity of our associates, with some having worked in the community since the day the doors opened in 1984. This home-like environment coupled with the beautiful town and rich history of Tarboro, make the Fountains at the Albemarle a hard place to beat.
