Montecito Manor

My mother fell and broke her left arm, so she’s in Montecito Manor now. It has very wide doors and very wide hallways, and she has a private bath in her own room; they’ll furnish it if you want. She has a really nice room. The staff is very caring, and they work with my brother and me excellently. They pay attention and do the things we want, and they’re very good with my mother who’s almost 92. They have game-playing and physical activities like throwing balls and balloons around. Twice a week, they have bus rides for sight-seeing and trips to the beach for those that are able. They bring in music a couple of times a month, and in the living room, they have light music. Every holiday, they put on a big Thanksgiving dinner, and the food is really good. They do have a nice dining area, but my mother takes meals in her room because she can’t walk anymore. There is a series of charges for what she needs. The size of the facility is really good for my mother. It’s about 55 patients there, so it’s not a real big place where you have a hundred people or too small. They do have a memory lockdown area for Alzheimer's patients. They have a physician and therapy provided, so there is occupational and physical therapy people that come in. I think they’re really excellent.
