CURA of Monticello has been nothing but tremendous. The care here is incredible, and staff are so great to work with! There is also a park down by the river, great to go with the residents! If you are looking for an assisted living for a loved one, CURA of Monticello is the place!

The staff here are amazing and have taken such good care of my Grandpa. Room 107 has a beautiful view and I recommend this nursing home to anyone worried about the care their loved ones will receive. You will never have to worry about that here.

Pay close attention to the dates of these reviews; if they were sorted by date, you would see that the last 2 years have particularly poor reviews. I only wish I had taken photos to post to help you truly understand how horrible this facility is run. There are some wonderful people, nice, young, and helpful, but they do not have the resources they need, and their concerns are not addressed. My mother was sent there for short-term rehab, and within one week, her health, both physical and mental, had taken a significant turn for the worse. When issues were addressed, we were told, "It's not on the orders, " and there was no initiative to ensure people were getting what they needed. Physical therapy was not done, laundry was hit-or-miss, and "procedure" was not followed unless it was inhibiting progress. When the toilet paper ran out, I was told there wasn't any, and that there were no tissues or garbage bags. As I was about to go to Target for basic supplies, two rolls of TP were brought in. At one point, there was a trail of extrament leading from the farthest bed in the room all the way out the door and into the hallway. I pointed it out to no less than 3 people that day (Thursday afternoon), and on Friday, I called the social worker twice to let her know about the mess on the floor that my mother had to cross to do anything in her room. After receiving no reply, I had to go there the next day with cleaning supplies to mop the floor. As I did, there was dirt and dust everywhere, trash under the beds, and it was so dirty, I was in shock. Her bed was so thin that the bars and mechanisms under the mattress could be felt when lying down. The bed was tilted and leaned to the right. The facility smelled so awful that you are hit by it when the elevator doors open to the second floor. I used to have to change my clothes directly after coming home and showering to get the smell out of my clothing and hair. At one point, a resident told me she sat in a dirty undergarment for 4 hours before being taken care of. The call lights might as well not even be there. My mother thought the food was good. The staff seemed burnt out, and people never knew anything that fell directly outside their purview. I can't count the number of times I was told, "I don't know, I'm new, this is my first day." Communication was nonexistent. People with severe dementia are mixed in with the rehab and short-term stay people. Sitting in my mother's room, we could hear people moaning and yelling for help. Each time I left her room, someone was asking to be taken to the bathroom or for some basic need, which I couldn't help with since I didn't work there. We received a phone call one evening at 9:30 telling us that our mother had passed away! After the shock, we find out they called the wrong family. Not only is this completely negligent, but it is also a HIPAA violation that I will be reporting. I witnessed and experienced elder abuse and complete negligence while my mother was there for just over a week before we were able to get her moved to another facility. If you have any other choice, I beg you, don't put your loved ones here.

My son's grandma was at CURA health in Monticello and passed away overnight Monday. They called us all around 125Am Tuesday morning but, we were all asleep so no phones were answered. They continued calling until one of her daughters answered around 230AM. After informing her, they asked what funeral home would be picking the body up and when. She let them know she would call back with that answer. They called her back repeatedly and were getting rude and pressuring her for an answer claiming they needed the body picked up within a certain amount of hours. Like, no empathy for the fact she was grieving at all. She told them she needed to discuss it with her siblings and the lady said to her, "They designated you the point of contact so you're supposed to have these answers." When I got to the facility with my son's dad to collect her belongings I let them know I had a complaint and told this lady how rude the calls were and she said, "That was me on the phone. I wasn't rude, I was direct. You'll know when I'm being rude to you." She proceeded to argue with me, accused me of yelling at her when I hadn't even raised my voice and threatened to call the cops and have me removed from the building. Like, Miss Ma'am, why are you working in a senior care facility if you are incapable of showing patience and empathy to the bereaved? They also called the funeral home after they were told we were waiting on a call back with the pickup time and pushed the funeral home to get that scheduled with them rather than waiting for the funeral home to call us back. What they didn't know is that we are using a funeral home where the funeral director is a close family friend. They lied again and told us his sister had not been in contact with the funeral home and that the funeral home thought his sister was the one that had died. She was literally in contact with the actual funeral director whom she has known for decades. He was not confused about who passed away. They were told we were waiting for him to get into the office and then he would call us back. They called before he got in so obviously his staff was not aware. Their impatience, lack of compassion and unprofessional behavior caused all the confusion. I double checked with another facility on the lady's claim of a mandate about how soon the body needs to be removed from a facility and confirmed she totally lied. The other facility staff also said that place is the absolute worst and gave me information to file a formal grievance with the state. I also reached out to CURA management directly asking to speak to someone about the situation. They emailed me back right away asking for details of what happened to direct me to the right person but once I provided details they stopped responding. If you have a loved one in need of a care facility, I would avoid CURA.

My husband passed away about 3 weeks ago. The staff offered to help me with cleaning out his stuff. When my son picked it up he was given 3 garbage bags in 1 larger bag. When I finally got the chance to go through his things there were alot of his things missing. When I brought him there I made sure he had 7 of every piece of clothing. I didn't get any of his (7) sweat pants back (but there were 3 pants that belonged to someone else). He was missing t-shirts and I didn't get all of his sweatshirts back. I got 1 tennis shoe back and both slippers. I didn't get his dentures or the stuff to go with them. The person that cleaned out his room never returned the Rubbermaid containers that were in his drawers.(they had our name on them). I didn't even get his grabber or back scratcher. Name was on those too. I know this might seem petty but they were things that I bought. If I didn't want them it was up to me to get rid of not them. When I stopped in one day last week to see if anyone knew what happened to his things I was waiting at the nursing desk, someone's light was blinking the whole time I was there (about 30 minutes) Makes you wonder what kind of care the people are really getting when no one is around. I just needed to vent.
