Sam Dillow
I just moved into the Montebello. I have lived here for two weeks and I am fairly happy. I would say the team members are very nice and highly responsive. I think this is a lovely place for me to retire. The group i have been introduced to are friendly and willing to help me with anything. Ken Howard is an exceptional person and go to guy.

I have had such a positive and fun experience working with the activities department at The Montebello on Academy. Kyra and Linda are absolutely wonderful to work with. They bring so much energy, enthusiasm, and joy to everything they do. What makes it even better is how incredibly fun and engaging the residents are! Their energy and enthusiasm make every single activity a truly memorable and delightful experience. The warmth of both the staff and the residents makes this community a truly special place. Highly recommended!

I have been very impressed with the friendliness and attitude of the staff and they have been very helpful. I looked at several places and this one stood out for being homey and comfortable. It feels like home to me. The apartment is great and looked great when I moved in. The residents have been very helpful and welcoming as well.

My father has been at Montebello on Academy for seven months, and our family has been very pleased with the experience. The team has remained consistent, and their interactions with residents feel genuine, compassionate, and reassuring. It gives us confidence that he is receiving excellent care. Whenever I have questions or concerns, the staff responds promptly, and I truly value their proactive communication regarding any changes or observations about his well-being.
