Esther's Place at Montebello

My sister and I are both nurses, about a year ago we placed our mom at Esther's Place, and we both agree, it was the best decision we made. Leslie and the staff are incredible. As nurses we observe the staff and their interactions with everyone and we know we couldn't do a better job! After all my mom has done for her children, she deserves to be in a place that we all call home, Esther's place!

Tengo un familiar en ese lugar...muy contenta.

My uncle has lived at Esther’s Place for years, he has struggled with mental illness his whole life and when my grandparents passed away back in the mid 90s my parents did not know where they would be able to find him a place to live. Finding supervised care for those that suffer from chronic mental illness is so difficult, his physical needs were not as challenging as his mental health needs. He grew up in Parkville and leaving that area was not an option bc he likes to visit familiar places, this helps with his anxiety. He spent several years in a few different places that didn’t offer the structure he needed to stay on his meds, it was a very stressful time and we worried for his safety and health. When my mom found Esther’s Place it was like a blessing, my uncle feels like he is at home with his surroundings and the staff are like family. He had a stroke a few years ago and his level of care changed, but the staff adapted to his needs and continued to offer him the same personalized compassion they always have. They know him and what his physical health and mental health needs are, he attends the adult daycare close by and the staff works with my dad (since my mom passed away a few years ago) to coordinate the needs they meet and ones that our family can meet for him. Living out of state and having my own family I do not get to see my uncle like I did when I was growing up, he is a very special man that when I speak with him on the phone, I know he is getting the care he needs in an environment that is absolutely perfect for him. Thank you to all the staff that loves my uncle like family, you are all true blessings from God and angels on earth!

Leslie and her team are top notch! We placed a client here and have only heard positive feedback from the family. Thank you for being the BEST of the BEST!

I highly recommend Esther's Place. Our family needed to place a loved one who has early onset dementia. Early onset dementia creates any number of complications for assisted living homes, due to the younger age and increased activity level of those patients. Esther's Place has a very caring staff, who were able to navigate those complications and worked very hard to keep the situation under control. They continue to provide excellent care for our loved one. Leslie and her wonderful staff will always have our profound gratitude.
