Just learning the site! See below in tips for my extended review. If you or a loved one is considering Independent or Assisted Living, The Montecito AZ is a classy, clean, safety orientated community with extraordinary friendliness and a dining room many restaurants should take lessons from. The food is delicious, varied and appetizing. The staff throughout the community truely has a heart for their 215 senior residents, knowing and addressing each by name. I looked at many communities for Mom and The Montecito has surpassed all others as their actions speak louder than their words. My somewhat fussy and difficult mom says, EVERYDAY, «It’s perfect. I can’t find anything to complain about.» I visit most days and it truely does feel like home. I have total confidence in Mom’s safety and care when I’m away. Like a grand hotel the lobby is spacious and open. Dining room, living room, wellness center, reception desk are front and center. Just down the hall, a cozy library, activity room, mail room, patio, heated pool area and more. Upstairs a movie theater, pool table, chapel, beauty salon, PT/exercise room, game rooms, card tables. Always something to do and some friendly staffer to introduce you and/or include you. Thank you ALL at The Montecito AZ for treating our most senior population with the respect, dignity and graciousness they deserve.
