The Montecito Senior Living in Peoria, Arizona sits on a big, quiet campus with pretty gardens, walking paths, several pools, and a putting green where folks can relax or see their neighbors outside. The community's got a variety of living choices, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and options for continuing care as people get older or need more help. The apartments have different floor plans like studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom places, with full kitchens, washers and dryers, walk-in closets, patios or balconies, and extra storage, so people feel right at home and have their own space. Many of the apartments have private bathrooms with walk-in, wheelchair-friendly showers, and folks can bring their own furniture to make the place their own, and even keep their pets.
The team at The Montecito helps with things like medication, bathing, grooming, moving from bed to wheelchair, or handling incontinence if residents can manage some tasks themselves. Nurses and other staff stay onsite at all times and there's 24-hour emergency help and a personal pendant system for added safety, along with security cameras. The place supports aging in place, which means residents can remain there even as their needs change, with memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other dementia and hospice care offered. There's access to a medical facility that can make house calls, with visiting therapists, nurses, and doctors seeing residents when needed.
Meals are served restaurant-style three times a day, with chef-cooked food and menus that accommodate different diets, plus a private dining room for family get-togethers. Residents get weekly housekeeping, laundry, linen changes, and all utility bills are covered without hidden costs. There's complimentary transportation for doctor visits or shopping trips, covered parking, and easy resident parking.
There are plenty of things to do here, like fitness classes through the Forever Fit Program, art in the Melody & Masterpiece Program, activities in the club room or the game and billiards rooms, and even happy hours or movie nights in the onsite theater. The community also offers programs like Virtual Voyages for virtual travel and the Pawsitive Health program, bringing pets into daily life. People can take part in devotionals both at the chapel onsite and elsewhere, and there's a beauty salon and barber services right in the community.
The Montecito pays attention to residents as individuals, making care plans based on their needs and interests, with activities to support the mind, body, and friendships. Memory care uses the Revere approach, focusing on personalized support and a secure, comforting environment, as well as special technology like SafelyYou, which helps prevent falls. Residents see health professionals, join learning events, or simply walk the paths, swim in the heated pool or spa, or sit on their patio. The whole setup feels homey, calm, and built so folks can live as independently as possible with help close by when needed. The community allows adults 55 and older and has monthly fees and a one-time community fee, plus an extra charge for a second person living in the same apartment. All of this makes The Montecito Senior Living a place where older adults have choices, safety, and a good bit of comfort without losing their independence.
