  I continue to be thoroughly impressed with the care provided to the residents at The Montera, particularly those residing within Connections for Living (Memory Care). Seeing to the every day, every hour, needs of the residents is a huge task that can only be accomplished through the competency and overall professionalism of the entire staff. Caregivers, medical technicians, activity personnel, maintenance personnel, front office personnel, food preparation personnel, housekeeping and laundry personnel and others all work together seamlessly to ensure that the best possible care is provided to all of the residents. The staff at The Montera does a fantastic job! I have been visiting my loved one in Memory Care now for over two and a half years. During that time has everything always been 100% perfect? Of course not! In this type of environment that realistically just isn’t possible. But what is truly amazing is seeing, on a day to day basis, how the staff works together at all levels to quickly resolve problems before they can turn into major issues. The overall care, love and compassion shown to the residents by the entire staff is truly exceptional. For anyone looking for a senior care facility I highly recommend you consider The Montera.

  Our company recently performed maintenance cleaning at Montera senior living in La Mesa. I was very impressed by the facility and the staff. The residents were very friendly and we enjoyed talking with them while we worked. We even had the opportunity to listen to one very talented pianist as we finished our services. As we finished up I was so impressed that I inquired information for my in-laws. I highly recommend looking into Montera for safe and friendly senior living experience .

  Fred was there for less than a month at the end of his life. He was well cared for in the memory care unit. They have activities all day long and the care givers are attentive and caring.

  My mother lived at The Montera for the last 3 years of her 101 year life. Along with my family, we visited about a dozen other facilities before we decided on The Montera. We choose it because of the facility itself and the staff. The rooms are spacious and well-kept. For the past 3 years I have noticed that it is always clean and extremely well maintained. They have been sprucing it up the past year in areas that were getting worn. They've done a nice job. It provide pleasant environment for the residents. They offer a varied menu and I have always found the food is often better than any other institutional food I have eaten. In three years I never experienced an awful meal. I live locally so I did eat there on many occasions. They provide a varied offering for every meal. There is also a large and varied daily schedule of activities for the residents. As my mother's health declined one of her strongest complaints was that she was unable to go to her daily activities and hang with her friends. But of course the most important aspect when considering any facility is the staff. In three years I have meet dozens of employees and have been highly impressed with the level of concern and care and, most importantly, the patience I have seen by almost all of the staff. I have never seen anything untoward. I have noticed a somewhat high turnover level, especially in the administrative staff, over the past three years but they seem to do a good job refilling those positions with the same like-minded staff. There are at least a dozen staff members I would label as always going up and beyond to assist the residents. I would like to add that I recognize it isn't easy working with some residents due to their disabilities and their frustrations with their life as it is now but the staff at Montera does it with aplomb, respect and kindness.
