The remodeling will make this nice looking place look fabulous. The staff is caring, friendly and available. They are always open to new ideas for activities. You get out of it what you put into it. There is always something to do if you want. Located in a very safe area with stores within walking distance.

Things to know

The place is understaffed; I have seen management company changed in July and they are more interested in show than people and INDEPENDENT Living is emphasized. The leaders do not enforce the rules. A new man moved in Saturday and he has 2 large dogs which have created havoc and he doesn't pick up after them and he was too friendly with a pretty lady and she threatened him that she would call the police. I love my 2 bedroom unit and I would hate to move again but it is in the back of my mind. I didn't look anywhere else when I selected this one.

Montvale Senior Living for my Mom

My mom moved in mid-summer after having a tour a few months prior. As soon as a studio apartment opened up my mom received a call and management worked with her to make her transition an easy one. The other residents that live there have been very kind and my mom has made a group of lady friends she has lunch and dinner with every day and if my mom doesn't come down they check on her and ask if she needs any thing and bring her up a plate. There are daily games you can get involved with my mom enjoys that and the Bible study! I am so happy my mom can get out of the house now and not only get involved with things to keep her busy but also socialize. Montvale is currently making some upgrades and my mom is very excited about that. One of the big things residents are excited about is the meal time will be available 7am to 7pm soon breakfast all day. You won't have to he down to eat at a set time (currently 8am, 12pm and 5pm). Very happy mom is at Montvale!!!

Worth a look

Montvale Estates had the best floor plan and storage closets out of the 5 facilities we toured. [name removed] died in September and was satisfied with Montvale until they lost their 5 star chef. Then she started complaining about the food They do need to hire a chef that considers the best and most nutritious foods for seniors.

I give them a five overall. Although I did express concerns because my mother has dementia. There is no assisted living. It is all independent living. That is something I did not realize when I moved her there.

My Experience

The activity director, I feel, is the friendliest of all. Basically, the entire place is understaffed and has an inadequate amount of glasses and silverware. Those who have been here much longer than I, complain that we no longer have placemats and the staff is rushed to clean the tables; there is no longer any jelly on the tables-- we have to ask for jelly and two is the maximum allowed. The housekeeping is not what I am accustomed to. My move in was a disaster; most was because of the moving company's poor job, which is still being investigated. However, when I arrived alone at about 7:30 pm it was dark and there was NO STAFF present! There is no staff from 7pm to 7 am. Since the truck refused to unload the truck until morning, I had to sleep on the floor--no furniture at all. I had just had surgery a month before and I also have a cat who was very traumatized. I am also 84 years old. I was exhausted. I chose Holiday Montvale Estates because of the apartment of 1079 sq ft and all the windows. I should have checked more, but I had been looking in this area for at least a year and the biggest ones I found only had about 480 sq ft. Yet after 6 surgeries in 10 years, I knew I had to move closer to my son and granddaughter.

A wonderful place to live.

The montvale community is a cozy community in which to live. Aside from friendly residents and staff, delicious meals and worry-free maintenance there is a greater feeling of personal security than living in an average apartment complex.

Tour experience @ Montvale

I absolutely loved my tour at Montvale Estates. The community was very very clean. The staff was exceptional and answered all of my questions. My tour was very informational and I am looking forward to the time I can move in once my current lease is up. [name removed] invited me to stay for lunch and it was very good, it felt as though I was at a restaurant, I can certainly get used to this kind of service daily!! VERY GOOD JOB MONTVALE. The sales manager went above and beyond with my tour A++++++. I wish I could give more than 5 stars.
