At The Montecito we are "Redefining Senior Living" by offering a resort style of living to all of our Independent and Assisted Living Residents. With 24-hour Concierge service we are able to cater to all of our residents' needs and requests. In Assisted Living,our 24-hour Caregivers are there to help our AL residents and we provide state-of-the-art, GPS tracked pendants to all AL residents. Most AL apartments are spacious 1B1B plus living room (490 square feet) which have all been recently renovated and while the lighting in AL has always been more intimate, it too has recently been upgraded providing brighter hallways while maintaining the warm ambiance that we have always strived for. We offer more amenities and activities than any other IL or AL community in Santa Fe and welcome residents and guests to enjoy our Garbo's Restaurant and weekly live music entertainment.

Lifehouse purchased The Montecito (AKA Rainbow Vision) a little over two years ago. At the time of purchase the community was at 36% occupancy, the restaurant was closed, the fitness center was closed & there was no activities program to speak of. Since Lifehouse took over the property they have put in over one million dollars in upgrades and maintenance to the property including the addition of a shuffle board court, putting green & billiards room. The exterior of all buildings were painted, the roads re-surfaced & the entire property was made handicap accessible. Currently there are less than a handful of independent apartments available for rent. The assisted living, which is 26 apartments, is full with a waiting list. We have amazing people running the Activity Department & our residents have a full calendar of outings and activities every month. We are the only community to have weekend & evening transportation hours so that our residents can get out & enjoy all Santa Fe has to offer. The fitness center is open & we are the only retirement community with a full time Fitness Director. We offer several different exercise classes including seated exercise, strength training & tai chi as well as one on one personal training. The Montecito was voted "Best Senior Community in New Mexico" & I encourage anyone who has not been to The Montecito recently to stop by and take a look. It is truly a beautiful and vibrant senior community.
