I liked the way the rooms were set up at Monte Vista Village. They were a single story and it's surrounded by grassy areas. It's closer to being at home than being in the hospital. The staff was very good. They showed me whatever I wanted to see, and gave me whatever information I asked for. The rooms were much larger and set up much better than I thought they were going to be. Their dining area was very pleasant. They had groups of people around tables doing stuff. It shows that people participate in activities. They have in-house physical therapy, too.

I'm in the independent living section at Monte Vista Village and it's going very well. The staff is very friendly and very nice. For breakfast, they have eggs, poached eggs or scrambled eggs, bacon or waffles, French toast or pancakes, ham and soup, Mexican dishes, and fresh fruit. It's very good. They have a tai-chi school, a happy hour, and a root beer float night, which is very good. They take you on a tour of San Diego, and they have cards. They're very nice by taking me to a volunteer job on Friday. They're very accommodating. My room is very nice sized, and it's got a roomy shower and bathroom. I've got a microwave and a stovetop. It's really good. The nurses and the directors are very friendly and the activities guys also are friendly. I am happy with everything. It's a pleasant place to live.

Monte Vista Village is a very nice place. They were in transition when we took our tour, meaning their ownership had just changed. They had no brochures to hand out because they hadn't printed out new ones. They wouldn't give us the old ones.
It's a nice place. They have both assisted living and independent, and they're all in basically the same apartment. We toured both. They're really good. They have nice facilities. The shared area between the bungalows is well maintained. It's open and airy, but it is also shaded. It's nice and cool in the summer or on the warmer days.
The staff members that we met were very good. We talked to almost the whole staff. They were all very friendly and knowledgeable. They're a very well-maintained facility. It's an older facility.

Monte Vista Village didn't have the services that we needed for my mother-in-law. It wasn't a bad place, it was fine, but we didn't feel like it was going to work. The staff members were OK. What they had at the time was a shared room, which was fine because my mother-in-law has a fear of being alone, so it would actually be better for her to share a room.

It had nice grounds and landscaping. The rooms were a little larger than average. All rooms had a garden view, too. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, inviting, and professional. They had a fireplace, a library, a pharmacy, a walking path, and a putting green.

SMy mother is 95. She has lived at Monte Vista Village for 3 1/2 years. She moved to independent living there after coming to San Diego from Florida when she could no longer live on her own. Her lodging was a spacious one bedroom apartment, certainly larger than one bedroom apartments I’ve lived in. It was completely refurbished before she moved in with new kitchen, new bathroom and new carpeting. She thrived there, learning new activities like wii bowling and she always enjoyed the Wednesday afternoon happy hour which had a different musical program every week.
About a year ago she had a medical crisis which required her to move to Monte Vista’s Assisted Living building. We were immediately helped by the Monte Vista nursing staff and they problem solved with us, providing a place for her in assisted living as soon as it was needed. Her new studio apartment in Heritage House, her assisted living building, has the same large bedroom, large closets and bathroom as her one bedroom...except now her door opens onto the communal living room where she now spends most of her days.
Without exception we have found the Monte Vista staff to be kind, caring and conscientious. My communication with the Heritage House staff has been extremely helpful. They call me when they see a problem and they are immediately available when I’ve called them for assistance.
I highly recommend Monte Vista Village for any seniors looking for either an independent or assisted living residence.

Our mother-in-law is now in Monte Vista Village. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The environment is comfortable and caring. She seems pleased to be there. We have been quite positive about it.

My mother-in-law was in very bad shape and in ill health after trying to live on her own. So much to a point that we thought she may need constant bed care. After a week in this place (the assisted living part) she was a new person. She has been there a month now and is going to exercise classes in her wheel chair, telling us about the happy hours, eating great and loving life again.
The staff is awesome about helping her and getting her to events and activities. She is even walking again with her walker which is amazing after so short a time.
The food they serve is NOT old folks home bland stuff. The salads are full of spring greens and spinach leaves and they are served with shoe wheat bread.
The grounds are beautiful and immaculate.
It's definitely not a chore to visit as it was when my grandparents were in assisted living. Nothing gloomy about this place!
If you are considering a change for yourself or a loved one I truly recommend it.
