Montclair Park Assisted Living

Water leaks from the ceiling.. from plumbing issues.. roaches... everywhere.. LACK OF COMMUNICATION.. to many people are trying to be in charge...

Montclair Park Assisted Living is really nice. Everybody is friendly and you get all the help you need. We have a real nice dining area that's like a restaurant, and the food is always good. They've got a lot of activities going on. There's an exercise room if you need it, a game room where they play different games, movies once a day, and all that kind of stuff. The room is really nice and has a really nice living room, bedroom, walk-in closet, and walk-in shower. They also have a pond outside that has ducks and swans, and I would take my wife on her wheelchair and take her around the pond once or twice a day.

Montclair is a nice place. My relative's room is like a little apartment with a bedroom and a bathroom, a little living area, and a little kitchenette. They provide the meals and have a nursing staff that comes in through an outside entity to give medication, but he has an aide that’s with him 24/7. They have exercise, church, and a variety of activities. He said the food is great.

Montclair Park is very close to where we live. They’re especially good with Alzheimer’s patients and offer assisted living and memory care. They communicated with us regularly, took very good care of my mom, and gave her a lot of love. This place was recommended to us by a friend who had her parent there, and she was very pleased with them. I liked that we could just walk in there.

My 90 year old mother was very hesitant about moving from her home. Montclair Park has been a God send. They really helped us during the transition into her new apartment. The staff is caring, food is wonderful, and she truly enjoys the many social opportunities. The grounds are beautiful, mother loves sitting outside by the pond and watching the swans. It is so easy to get mother to her doctor appointments with Montclair's handicap bus and van. You can rest well at night knowing your loved one is safe and sound.

My Father lived at Montclair for several years. He received great care. From the day we toured with the director till the day he passed away Renee was always there the staff was awesome. It starts at the top and she is a great example. When she walks the halls you feel her care her smile is contagious through out the building it us obvious her staff respects her and she respects and cares for them. If you ever need an assisted living for a loved one. You should go visit Montclair. I'm very confident you will choose it for your loved one. It's beautiful and has great care.

Montclair was okay, but wasn't as well-kept. They have a few more activities, but it wasn't as homey and inviting. The staff was nice but scarce. It didn't have that feeling that we needed. The rooms were small and they did not have a kitchenette as opposed to the other places. They have a theater room, they have their own chapel, and I'm sure they had other activities, too. I know they have bingo, they have singing group, and a piano player would go over there. But it's just not quite the feeling that we have with other places. They probably need more staff.

The director of this facility is wonderful. I believe that if you start with the best at the top, then that will trickle down to even the most menial job. On the whole, my family has been very pleased with Montclair. My aunt has all she needs and if there is a time when her sitters are not available, then the staff at Montclair are always there to help. Sometimes the response time is a little slow, especially on weekends but I feel totally comfortable having my relative there. The building itself is very nice and well kept. The courtyard is really lovely and if it's not too hot outside, the residents really enjoy sitting outside. There are swans that everyone loves as well as a large aquarium and a friendly parrot. It is a pet friendly facility so my aunt has a neighbor with a small dog but this has not been a problem. The only complaint my aunt has had is with the food. It is hard for her to no longer be able to prepare her own meals and she is still getting used to her favorite dishes being prepared in a different manner than she is used to. Overall the food is good, just not spectacular.
