Highly recommend

My grandma has been living at The Montebello for a while now, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are warm, attentive, and truly care about the residents. The place is always clean, welcoming, and she’s made so many wonderful friends there. Most importantly, she feels safe, supported, and at home! We’re so grateful she found such a wonderful place!

Great experience

The staff was very welcoming and patient as we toured several times and had to reach out with questions more than once. Once the decision was made to move in there, the Marketing Director made it happen quickly and efficiently!

Friendly and kind staff

Everything except for #8 is a 5, the value for the money. I've always thought the cost of these facilities are way too expensive. Especially when you take into acct that the client base are generally on a fixed income and needing to do private pay. When many of the assisted living clients are rather immobile and don't do a lot, paying the high cost for them to basically sit around and have someone check on them periodically seems absurd. All that said, with the exception of one person, my dad has very much enjoyed the staff. One comment about the food. Mt dad chose to eat in his room. Generally a good variety but often times it was served cold since they wld get served after those in the dining room. So making sure that meals were hot when given to residents wld be appreciated.

Tour Experience

We toured Montebello during our search for an Assisted Living facility for our loved one. This facility was okay and our tour was good. However, it was very hospital like and did not feel welcoming.

Miserable

We had a miserable experience at Montebello. We have tried to call and talk to anyone interested in resolving our issue, but to no avail. No one including the Executive [name removed] returns phone calls!

my review of the The Montebello on Academy

We toured the community and the facility was very nice. The tour was good and the staff was very friendly. The only issue we had was the pricing was out of our range and the community was not pet friendly.

Poor experience, rude staff

Our experience with The Montebello was a poor one, and I wouldn't recommend them. We had issues with the staff being rude and disrespectful towards my loved one, and I have heard the same complaint from personal acquaintances, so I know it wasn't just us.

My mother really enjoys this respite care facility

My mother likes it. She thinks everyone is nice, and she enjoys having people around to talk to. and join them for meals. She goes for day care/ respite care. She also likes the music they have. They do activities; she doesn't participate in them. The location is the closest to my house, so it's very convenient. I think it's a great place because my mother enjoys it.
