Key Review Excerpts
“The caregivers are SO kind, treat all of the residents with respect, and the facility is always clean. The chef prepares amazing meals, they have cute little activities for the residents every day, and even have fun gatherings (like 4th of July BBQ) for families as well.”
“My mother has Lewy Body Dementia and has been a resident at Villa Monticello since October 2023. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of care she receives and the excellent communication I receive from the caregivers.”
“When I talked to the owner, Orlando, prior to her moving in, he told me they used electronic alarms that attached to the residents clothing and the bed or chair they were in. When they move to stand or walk the alarm sounds and then the staff is notified.”
