I have moved into Vista del Monte. It has been a good place. Everybody's very helpful and very pleasant. They have all kinds of different rooms. I have a 2-bedroom apartment; they also offer 1-bedroom and studios. Because of COVID, there are not that many activities yet; a few things, but not much. We have three meals a day. There's an indoor swimming pool, indoor therapy pool. There's a library, they do exercises, chair exercises, balance classes, and classes in the water. It's a good place to live, I'm still getting used to it. With big gatherings, except for some outdoor gatherings, we have to wear a face mask. The food is excellent.

I stayed at Vista Del Monte for a week with a relative who needed round the clock care while he waited for his room to be ready at their 'memory care' facility (which includes round-the-clock supervision and care.)
These are the observations I made in that time :
The staff is doing an excellent job caring for their residents and treats each person as a unique and valued individual. Every staff member we encountered knew my great uncle's name and greeted him warmly.
The kitchen staff were fantastic and accommodating. Any time we had unique requests for condiments or extras (any time of day) they were always happy to oblige. There were two ladies in particular that remembered my name (even though I am a guest and not a resident) and made a point to address me by it, which I thought was very professional and kind. I believe their names were Jennifer and Melissa. On the occasions when we went to dine in the outdoor dining pavilion the wait staff was on par to any high end restaurant in town. I would know as this is what I did for a living for many years. I was shocked...especially considering they don't accept tips anyway...they were just that good because they cared. William stood out as being especially accommodating when our 'reservation' got messed up (my fault) one day.
All of the medical staff who came to the room to give medications or do wellness checks were professional and kind. One woman (Juline) was particularly warm and cheerful. Everytime she left my uncle commented on how much he enjoyed her visits.
The 'resident services' staff were always going above and beyond with any request I brought to them. One lady in particular (Angie I believe) stands out. When I needed to do laundry for my great-uncle, but it was after hours so their little shop was closed she went to her car and got her OWN laundry detergent that she happened to have with her and gave it to me to use!
I could go on and I'm sure there are many staff that deserve specific mention that I've forgotten to include (I should have been keeping notes all week) but in general the entire staff was amazing and I don't have one single less than stellar incident to report.

My mother in law has just moved into Vista del Monte. She was warmly welcomed, received excellent food, and had special assistance from maintenance staff. It has been a wonderful beginning.

My dad will be moving into Vista del Monte. My visit was great. The studio was small so my Dad opted for a 1-bedroom. It's about half the size of where he's living right now, but it'll be plenty of room. They have a monthly calendar, a library, and swim activities. They serve three meals and two are included in the cost of the rent. They do the housekeeping and linens. They have a shuttle that takes them to doctors' appointments, stores, and to the plaza. The staff was great and very informative. The woman we've dealt with the most has been very helpful and accommodating. The food was also very good. Everything that I saw was very clean.

We liked Vista Del Monte. They seemed to have a good facility, except we don’t want to do any activities. I liked the ambience better than the others. The staff was good. We had lunch there, and food was nice. The staff was friendly and very helpful. It was a good place.

I went to Vista del Monte. It’s wonderful, but you need a lot of money to get into the community. It’s beautiful, and it has nice activities. The rooms were lovely. They take good care of their people, but I couldn’t afford it until after I sell my house. They have staff who come and take care of residents when they progress, so that they don’t have to move to another apartment.

The residents at Vista del Monte Retirement Community seemed very happy. The dining facility looked really lovely, and the fitness center was the best I've seen, especially because it had a swimming pool. I talked to some residents who said they go to the fitness center all the time, and it has really helped them. You would get very high-quality care at this facility.

Vista del Monte was not very helpful. They couldn't even clearly explain their program to me. They do have a swimming pool; it's nice. They couldn't explain the financial thing. I think their units are renting for $5,000 a month and that's okay, I have long term insurance. But I really was just looking for assisted living and you can't get to their assisted living unless you rent one of their other places first. That's ridiculous. They have different levels of care and you need to be in one of their units first.
