I continue to be thoroughly impressed with the care provided to the residents at The Montera, particularly those residing within Connections for Living (Memory Care). Seeing to the every day, every hour, needs of the residents is a huge task that can only be accomplished through the competency and overall professionalism of the entire staff. Caregivers, medical technicians, activity personnel, maintenance personnel, front office personnel, food preparation personnel, housekeeping and laundry personnel and others all work together seamlessly to ensure that the best possible care is provided to all of the residents. The staff at The Montera does a fantastic job! I have been visiting my loved one in Memory Care now for over two and a half years. During that time has everything always been 100% perfect? Of course not! In this type of environment that realistically just isn’t possible. But what is truly amazing is seeing, on a day to day basis, how the staff works together at all levels to quickly resolve problems before they can turn into major issues. The overall care, love and compassion shown to the residents by the entire staff is truly exceptional. For anyone looking for a senior care facility I highly recommend you consider The Montera.

Our company recently performed maintenance cleaning at Montera senior living in La Mesa. I was very impressed by the facility and the staff. The residents were very friendly and we enjoyed talking with them while we worked. We even had the opportunity to listen to one very talented pianist as we finished our services. As we finished up I was so impressed that I inquired information for my in-laws. I highly recommend looking into Montera for safe and friendly senior living experience .

We moved my mother in law into the Montera just before the holidays. The staff has been amazing and the community is very nice. We were very pleased with her room, it was clean when we moved her stuff in and the maintenance person helped us with her cable and TV set up, which was really important to us. Since she has been living there, the staff has done a great job of keeping her room tidy, we can tell that she is being well taken care of and we greatly appreciate all of their efforts.

The Montera is an exceptional assisted living community. As a hospice nurse who has worked closely with their team for over five years, I’ve seen firsthand how caring and compassionate their staff truly is. From the admin team to the caregivers and maintenance staff, everyone goes above and beyond. They communicate well with families and outside agencies, and their genuine warmth really sets them apart. I highly recommend touring The Montera if you’re considering care for a loved one.
