The Montebello on Academy Independent & Assisted Living

The Montebello on Academy is an independent and assisted living community in Albuquerque, New Mexico, located in the Northeast Heights across from the Tanoan golf course. Since 1986, the community has provided residential options with spacious apartments featuring full kitchens in independent living units, light housekeeping, responsive maintenance, and flexible month-to-month contracts.

The community offers both independent and assisted living with personalized levels of support, allowing residents to age in place. Assisted living packages include an emergency response system and access to care 24/7. All residents enjoy meals prepared by Chef Charlie, with restaurant-style dining featuring three daily entrées and an "Always Available" menu that includes signature favorites like green chile cheeseburgers, weekly surf and turf, and themed dinners such as Margarita Mondays.

The Montebello maintains a robust activity calendar with 40–50 on- and off-site events weekly, including fitness classes, lectures, and outings. The community features a dog park, solarium with Sandia Mountain views, community-led clubs, and transportation services for medical visits, shopping trips, and group outings to restaurants, museums, and local attractions. On-site parking is available for residents who drive.

The community is characterized by staff stability, with many team members employed for 20 to 30 years, creating a sense of continuity and trust. Residents have access to LifeLoop, a digital platform for browsing event calendars, signing up for activities, submitting maintenance requests, and messaging staff. The Montebello on Academy is owned by Stellar Senior Living, a family-owned and operated network of senior living communities.
