Our mother is being well cared for and shown love in this wonderful place. Tee I believe he works as a med technician. He is a fantastic young individual who is highly skilled, professional, and caring. Thank you!

My parents lived in Montecito’s assisted living area for six years. It took a little time but mom and dad felt like Monticeto was their home. Their staff provided excellent customer service from the front desk, nursing supervisor, med techs, and maintenance. Now that they have passed, I will also miss the Monticeto staff I got to know and work with to manage their care.

In coming back and forth to the property at The Montecito is beautiful as you approach the entrance with a large waterfall at the entrance. And when you walk in, the décor is very well done and amazingly inviting. More importantly I have found consistently the greeting from the front reception area. And the interaction with the staff across campus is always polite and professional. The dining, beyond the daily entrée, has an anytime menu that provides a tenderloin steak anytime, as well as, other high end fares. Not many senior living properties offer menu options to the degree they do and the ability to come down anytime vs. set meal times. The property is well kept up as you venture from the main building across the campus with Casita’s and Villa’s. Just down to earth feeling as you visit and engage with the community.

Hear from our executive director
With 25 years in senior living and a background as an RN, I’ve devoted my career to supporting residents across LTC, Skilled Nursing, and now IL/AL/MC. What inspires me most is making meaningful, real-time changes that truly enhance quality of life. My grandparents sparked my calling to nursing, and that passion continues today. Outside of work, family is everything—Jami and I share seven kids, three grandkids, Sunday dinners, backyard gardening, and exploring new trails together.
