Wonderful caring staff

It is simply wonderful to live at a place where everybody here cares for one another. The care services so far have been very good. They do have really good activities, the kids from the local school get a chance to come over and we are able to visit and tell stories back and forth. They are also throwing a BBQ party this weekend for Memorial Day. Based on the experience I have had so far I would recommend The Montecito to other families.

Competent care at Montecito

The room is clean at this community. They let me bring all of my furniture here and it was nice to be able to bring my own things. I have only met a few staff so far but they have been pretty good. There was an incident where a piece of glass was broken and I am still waiting to hear back on how it will be fixed.

Imagine a senior living environment that has ice on the asphalt parking lot. I was visiting and had to assist someone with a cane getting out of their car. That person was trapped by the ice. Imagine a senior living environment that has one handicapped van and one driver to assist with doctor and medically based appointments...now imagine what happen when that van breaks down or the driver is not available (there used to be 2 vans and 2 drivers). Image a staff that seems dedicated, but where management under pays and under staffs the facility. That's Montecito Santa Fe!

My mom is really happy here

Everything is going really well and my mom likes being here a lot. She likes the food and the people the most. The food is really good and the menus have a pretty good variety, including all different kinds of foods for people with food allergies, some things are gluten free, and they even have vegan food. The staff seems to like their job and they seem happy. The facility is kept very clean and housekeeping comes by every 2 weeks to change the sheets and make the bed and then clean the rest of the apartment, which has a full sized kitchen. They have tons of activities like exercise classes, bingo, scrabble, mah jong, concerts, movies, news, current events every morning at 9, and they even have a book group. 3 or 4 days a week they have live music at the bar in the dining room, too. For the price you pay, you get 2 meals a day and you can get them at any time, and you get pretty much everything (cleaning, cable, food, etc.) but the internet and a landline are extra (if you want that). I would even live here!

Comfortable stay!

My friend's stay at the Montecito is going well. I am very glad I chose this place instead of any of the others I visited. I found the staff to be warm and friendly and quite accessible, and the grounds are nicely maintained. Many amenities and services are available, and the residents seem to be quite happy living there, and try to make new residents feel welcome.

staff took really good care of mom

The Montecito Santa Fe is a little pricey but mom doesn't seem to mind. The staff took really good care of mom when she called for help while I was up visiting. Everything is going well and I cant think of anything they need to improve on.

Very luxurious. Tons of amenities and very well designed. The place seems like it was designed around independent living and that assisted living was a bolted on and less well done part of their housing offers.
