I'm not much of a review person as a matter of fact I think this is my first ever Google review! I wanted to take this time though to post this review of Villa Monticello. We moved my dad here January 1st 2019 not long after my mom passed and dad's memory became worse and worse and it became very difficult to manage him at my sister's home. We struggled mightily to find a home for him where we felt he would be comfortable and well cared for AND a place we like too!Well he's been living at Monticello for nearly 1 1/2 years now and we are so pleased. They take such good care of him AND us! He always tells us how comfortable and cared for he is. With the outbreak of Covid-19 we starting hearing of major outbreaks in nursing homes throughout the country and we naturally became concerned but the staff at The Villa were extremely proactive. They restricted visitation very early on (the beginning of March). At first we weren't sure this was a good move for dad or us but looking at stories everyday in the news, we are so very grateful that The Villa took this pandemic seriously as all the residents and staff have remained healthy and unaffected by the virus and keep dad safe and happy. After a couple of months we can now have 'window' visits and it has been great for us and dad. We love to see him so healthy and happy. He's not entirely sure what's going on but he always ends our visits with 'don't worry about me, they take good care of me and I'm fine'. My entire family are so very grateful to the owners and all the staff at Villa Monticello for their commitment and dedication before, during and after this wretched pandemic. We don't know what we would do without you!

My mother is a resident at Monticello. I have found the staff to be very caring and attentive to the resident's needs, in every way. I realize taking care of this population is a challenge, at best, and I know that the staff does their best. They do have on-going activities for the residents with Melissa, the activities director. They also provide high quality meals. The chef, Margaret, does an amazing job preparing everything from scratch, and she has a genuine concern for each resident's meal preferences. Monticello is a good choice for any family looking for caring, personalized care for their loved ones.

My Mom was with Ruby and Orlando Dy at Villa Monticello from January 2015 until her death in June of this year (2017). I cannot begin to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the care and love my mom received from the Dy's and the staff at Villa Monticello. Mom received 24 hour care and our family was confident in the care she received. They worked with us as my mom's memory declined and her needs changed. We were able to keep my Mom at Villa Monticello, during these changing times, until her recent death. Not having to move my Mom again, was a great relief to us as a family. Villa Monticello also coordinated her care with Hospice. A good friend of mine referred me to the Dy's. They had cared for my friend's Mom until she passed away. I'm so glad that I took my friends advice and placed my Mom with Ruby and Orlando at Villa Monticello. The entire staff became like a family to my Mom and we are deeply grateful for them all as they came alongside us and my Mom. With heartfelt thanks.

I absolutely love Villa Monticello. My mom is 88 years old with dementia and in a wheel-chair. We have moved her 3 times in 2 years and finally have found the perfect fit. I have no complaints at all. The facility is very clean, homey, and in the most beautiful piece of property. Her room is perfect and has a door to the outside where we sit on a porch area with nice piped in music and look at the view. The staff is wonderful and very personable. They know what my mom likes and dislikes. The chef is great and makes the best meals and even plates it like you are in a 5 star restaurant. There is some kind of activity usually going on. They exercise in the morning, sometimes play games, singing, and there are always puzzles going on the tables. I always feel welcomed every time I am there. The staff have become friends. They show sincerity in the care they provide. I tell everyone I know what a wonderful place this is.
