    About The Montera

    The Montera sits in a quiet suburb of La Mesa, California, and serves as a senior living community run by MBK Senior Living, which offers a full range of care, from independent living to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, respite care, continuing care retirement, and even hospice care for those who need it, and it's been certified as "A Great Place to Work." Residents live in pet-friendly studios or one-bedroom apartments, with floor plans for different living needs, and the property features modern utilities, strong security with video surveillance, and a well-kept landscape inspired by the southwest, including gardens, a walking path, shade outdoors, and a peaceful Koi pond, along with a courtyard for relaxing strolls. All apartments, including private and shared memory care studios, come with amenities for comfort and convenience, and residents can get help with activities of daily living like bathing and dressing if they need it. The community's friendly staff, including fully staffed caregivers and med techs, are available 24/7, plus licensed nursing staff and separate housekeeping are on site, and short-term stays are possible for respite needs.

    Residents enjoy a vibrant environment with restaurant-style dining, a Bistro for light snacks, and food made with nutritious, quality ingredients through a diverse culinary program led by skilled chefs. Engaging activities fill the calendar every day, and these range from group games in the game room, artistic projects in the art studio, and daily exercise, including Tai Chi and ability-focused training, to religious services, wellness programs, grooming in the salon or barber shop, and social gatherings that help people connect. There's easy access to medical care, with mobile physician visits, and transportation in a community van or car for trips to local attractions, plus scheduled outings and on-site parking for families visiting. The staff offers personalized support, from total care to specialized memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, with care programs tailored to different needs, and bedridden care when needed. For those looking for information and help with planning, The Montera provides helpful resources, tools, caregiving support, glossaries, and real resident stories. Prices for private rooms range from $4,105 to $6,700, and residents can choose among studio apartments, deluxe studios, one-bedrooms, or shared rooms, depending on their needs. The Montera works hard to give seniors a comfortable place where there's time to relax in the courtyard or by the Koi pond, and opportunities to join in a variety of activities every day in a warm, welcoming environment, where friendly team members support independence and connections with others.
