My elderly Mother stayed here for 3 weeks. Based on my observations when visiting her, all the staffs were courteous, professional and kind. She told me herself that she was grateful for their help when I wasn't there - she felt that everybody (i.e. the case manager, the nurses, the occupational and physical therapist, the CNAs) was caring and encouraging. She even made new friends with the other patients.

The facility is modest looking but clean and well run. I was pleased with their attentive and caring staff providing excellent services to my dad who is 95. From physical therapist to Kaiser doctor and nurse on premises to social worker and their own nurses, everybody deserves A+ in my book.

My 98 year old mother was sent to Montecito after 2 weeks in ICU and trauma care. The facility was recommended by the hospital and by people in the healthcare profession who I respect. I am grateful for this recommendation and our experience proved it true. I visited almost every day through a 20 day stay and found the staff to be engaged, professional and diligent. From Kai and Helen as administrators to nursing staff, Ana Perez, Ana Salazar, Desiree, Krystal, Lily and Josie, to Kenneth and Lindy as chef and nutrition coordinator, as well as Hennessie and Jordan in reception who always greeted with a smile and who were on top of everything. Anthony Garcia as activities coordinator is so patient and full of grace. Victor in PT is amazing and got my mother up and around which I did not think was possible. There are many more whose names I did not mention and I apologize to them for that. I did not have one negative contact in the three weeks there. The care for my mother was world class and they were on top of her situation and needs every second of the day. I got a phone call when my mother refused to take her meds for example. This facility is a model of the way Skilled Nursing should operate. I thank the people who run this facility and work there from the bottom of my heart. You are truly the best.
