Good Food
reviewed on: 10/02/2013 by MariaFor San Diego it's good deal. We're very happy with. My mother is happy there and she hasn't been happy in the last three places she's been so they must be doing something right. They have quite a few activities and it varies from exercise to musical concerts to games, outings, things like that. The food is very good. I can tell you that first hand because I've eaten there a few time. We're very pleased with the food.

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.
Great Care, Great Value, Great Place Overall!
reviewed on: 10/14/2013 by Very Happy SonThey're doing a wonderful job. I think they offered the best value for our money of any of the places we saw. They're not a nursing facility so you pay rent like you would in an apartment. The cost varies. It would be more expensive for a single room but if you share a room it would be less expensive. They had a hard time finding a compatible roommate for my mom. These are all Alzheimer's people so finding the right roommate is crucial. We did end up find a good roommate for her. On top of rent you have to pay for the assistance that you get. They have a scale of care needs. This was the best value for our money because mom is also an insulin dependent diabetic so our choice of facilities went way down. For the same quality of place that could car for her, there was only other option that was more expensive and didn't have any vacancies. The care is great. Every time I go she's dressed, clean, and fed. The people are nice. This is a good place! They give their employees incentives to get the people up and dressed and cleaned early so they have a full day. There's some kind of activity all the time. I never thought my mom would participate but I constantly find her in the activity room talking to other people and doing things. It's prefect for her. There is an outdoor patio setting with lost of flowers. There is lots there that is stimulating for the residents
