I have visited The Montecito Santa Fe and I fell in love with it. It has many advantages. I toured the independent side, but I will move into a place that will allow me to stay if I can no longer be independent. What's best is that there are several buildings. There are grounds to walk around on. You go out of your housing building and then walk a few blocks to get anywhere else. It's a neighborhood. It doesn't look like a hotel. There is a place to be outdoors.
We were able to get into a couple of the buildings that were not occupied at the time, and I was very impressed. It seemed a completely livable place. I've seen others that are similar where you walk into the kitchen and then in front of the kitchen is the large room that will serve as the living room and dining room, and then off to the side is a bedroom and bath. They were about a thousand square feet. They were clean, neat looking, and nice. I feel completely comfortable living in a place like that. There were places to exercise. The staff during the tour was very nice, very friendly, and very impressive. I certainly have no objection to anything I saw.

I did a self-guided tour at The Montecito Santa Fe. That place was very nice as well as the layout. They had several activities scheduled like going into town for different things. One was going to the folk art museum. You just signed up for those. There were also on-site activities, like yoga and exercise classes in the fitness room. They have a pool and a spa where you could sign up for a massage. The man at the front desk was very pleasant. He answered some of the questions I had.

My parents are at The Montecito Santa Fe. I like the location. The transportation is really good for doctor visits. It is good if they need to go to a grocery store or whatever. It's a really clean facility, and they have a very polite staff. I want maybe just a little bit more variety in food and less chicken. There are other things you can order, but my mom's not a big chicken fan. Just about every meal, there's some sort of chicken.
They're not really involved with a lot of activities, but I know there's a lot they offer there. They have basket weaving, exercise classes, card games, and movie nights. The cost for what we're receiving for independent living is really expensive, in comparison to some of the other facilities. One good thing about Montecito is it's set up more like an apartment complex for seniors, versus like hallways and kind of feeling closed in. I think their independent living facility is one of the best in Santa Fe, but it's really high price wise for just providing utilities and meals.

The Montecito Santa Fe seemed good, but mostly it was just food delivery and an apartment because of COVID. They didn't have any of the facilities available to us, but the food was OK. My father was there. The staff members were pretty responsive and very friendly. They would give us updates every week, and they also had some programs. The cleanliness and upkeep was passable. It's an older place but some of the rooms were nice. He was in a two-bedroom, which was OK, and it had clean carpet, a walk-in shower, and grab bars.

I went to visit a friend at The Montecito Santa Fe. That's the place that I would choose because you can have small homes, you have access to the neighborhood, but it's not like living in a hotel. The only complaint I have is you have to leave your unit to go to the kitchen/dining facility. They will bring your food to you, but there is no shelter between your unit and the dining room. I liked it very much. It's open, you can get out and walk outside your apartment, you can sit outside your apartment, it's adobe, and the façade is fine.

We toured the Montecito Santa Fe. The staff was very accommodating. We talked to the nurse, she was very helpful, and it didn't feel like an institution. They had a spa, a swimming pool, a hot tub, and nice restaurant that was open to the public. The whole place looked clean. We thought an RN on staff 24/7 for diabetes care was lacking.

I liked The Montecito Santa Fe a lot. It was so nice. Everyone was very cordial, and it had everything you could want. They play mahjong, card games, and so on. I looked at the independent living, but they do have assisted living as well if you need it later on. I'm having difficulty having to move, but this community would be my choice. The staff was very nice, and I think they were efficient and everything they should be. In the brief time I spent when visiting there, I had a good feeling about them. I didn't find anything objectable about any of them. The food was delicious, we had dinner there, and it was very good.

I lived at The Montecito Santa Fe. I left there because it changed management and became more corporate. It was a very wonderful place to live, but when the new management came in, the whole place seemed to change. Most of the places on the grounds were condos, and they were only 15 facilities in the main building. The grounds were nice. The location was wonderful.
