reviewed on: 06/09/2014 by AnonymousI found a very informative couple who showed me around and informed me of what their facility offered. A very nice, clean and current community for seniors. If both of my parents were only growing older this would be good choice.
Loving life at The Montera
reviewed on: 07/31/2019 by JeanMy mother has been a resident of The Montera for a few months now and I can say that she has been receiving excellent care. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I needed to have mom checked on today and that was done within 5 minutes of my call. It is a comfort to know that she is in good hands at all times. The programs and activities are very comprehensive and enriching. From my experience they seem to add new and interesting activities every month, such as wine tasting. The management is very approachable and there is a high level of caring about the residents.
