All of the staff, from the front desk to the maintenance, are friendly and helpful. Everyone there seems genuinely happy to be working there. Communication is great, especially in response to all of my inquiries. Their dining room is family style, which really promotes relationships and the food is great. They always offer an alternative menu as well, which is great for those of us who don't eat meat. The residents rave about the soups. The move in process was easy and they even have a resident welcome committee, which made my mom feel special. I would highly recommend Monte Vista Village to others!... Read more

I speak to other residents there and they have lived in other places and they all like Monte Vista the best. Based on the experience we have had so far with Monte Vista Village, we would absolutely recommend this community to others,

May 8, 2023Hi DiAnna, thank you for sharing this positive review about your experience with our community! Here at Monte Vista Village, we always strive for top-quality service and are glad we could provide it for you.
It would be nice to have longer time frames for dinner to allow residents an opportunity to eat later, and to make sure there is enough food available for all the residents to eat. Dinner starts at 4:30. [Name removed] is awesome! Whenever you ask [name removed] to get something done, it gets done. This individual is a five star in my mind!

February 23, 2023Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you have enjoyed your experience in our community.
Monte Vista Village is excellent. I would live there if I needed to. The staff were always so helpful and kind. The person I knew that lived there was very difficult, but the staff went above helping her in every way. Lots of activities and ways to interact if you want. The grounds are beautiful and quiet. Extra services provided, such as meditation, are affordable. 5 star all around.

January 27, 2023Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review! We take pride in providing the best care and filling our activity calendars with a variety of options for our residents. Our Monte Vista team will be so pleased to hear your positive feedback. Thank you!
What stands out to us about this community is the size of the apartments, the garden like grounds, and the staff friendliness. The Sales Director, Administrator, and head of Residential Care are all great. They're very kind and helpful. The facility offers activities. They provide housekeeping and it's always clean. I would recommend them to family and friends.

Mom loves the place, although she would rather still be with us she agrees it's a great place. There are quite a few activities, not all for mom, but a decent variety. The staff is great, very caring. I've seen the food and eaten there numerous times and I've enjoyed it every time.

December 5, 2022Hi! Thank you for your 5 star rating and feedback! It brings a smile to our faces to read this review and know that she is having an amazing time living in our community. It's our pleasure to be of service, and we look forward to continuing to offer you the excellent care and service you deserve!
Our family had an in person tour and the big issue with this community for us was that the rooms were in separate buildings and the residents would have to go outside to get to the dining, activity area.

December 8, 2022Thank you for considering our award winning community, we are sorry to say that you did not have a five star experience. We appreciate your review and your thoughts and welcome your thoughts on how we can improve. Please feel free to reach out to our Executive Director, we look forward to speaking with you.
Unfortunately things started to go downhill for me when Covid hit and over the last two years I have gone downhill with my health as well. After moving in with my son for six months we decided that this move to Monte Vista village would be the best place for me. Not have I only found this to be a very pleasant place to live I have also made lifelong friends. It’s not just an over 55+ facility, it is also a place to enjoy special events we go shopping we go out to lunch, our doctors appointments are taking care of three days a week, and much more.

The staff here really makes a great effort to make everyone as comfortable. We needed a more functionable sleeping situation and [name removed] and her associates found a bed for us. It's not an easy task to move beds around but the staff made it happen. Very grateful to the whole staff. Thank you Monte Vista!!!!

Monte Vista Village has been the perfect place for my mother and father who are in their mid 90's and can live independently but appreciate being pampered with delicious meals prepared for them, excellent housekeeping and laundry service, on-site response should they need help, and plenty of amenities and activities to make life fun and interesting. The staff are friendly and accommodating and always respectful. The property is beautifully fashioned after an Hawaiian village with all residences arranged in cottage style buildings. My parents are very happy here and I feel very secure that they are well-cared for.

I live in the Denver area and wanted to take a vacation to San Diego-- my favorite spot to visit, I reside in an Assisted Living Community and was able to make arrangements at Monte Vista Village for a two week stay that met my care needs. I was very pleased with the facilities. The food was good; the Caregivers were excellent; and the grounds were beautiful.

August 25, 2022Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a positive review about your experience at our community. We hope you have a great day!
A gentle breeze roams through the compound frequently tempering the hot summer sun. Residents always want to chat with the newby. There are many benches to relax on and a shady park for your reflections. You could watch the fish swim instead. A great place to add a new chapter to your life.
