Overall Review of Montclair Royale Senior Living
common
25 reviews mention this
Staff caregiving is a mix
Residents and families describe staff as caring, while others report serious communication and compassion issues.
Many reviewers say the staff is kind, friendly, and attentive—checking on residents, communicating with family, and treating people with dignity. Several also describe reliable help with medication and daily needs, along with staff who are easy to reach. Other reviews are far more critical, citing rude management or caregivers, long waits for help, and instances where families say they weren’t contacted or where care fell short. Overall, the experience with staff described in reviews is inconsistent.

Cleanliness and odors come up
Some residents and visitors report cleanliness problems, including odors and dirty or poorly maintained spaces.
A number of reviews describe the facility as clean and well kept, including reports of a clean dining area and rooms. But several others mention strong odors, dirty carpets or floors, and missing basics (like toilet paper). Some reviewers also describe rooms or common areas as outdated or in need of repair, which they connect to an overall cleanliness concern. Even when people praise parts of the building, these recurring cleanliness complaints stand out in the negative reviews.

Help with daily care varies
Reviews describe uneven responsiveness for daily assistance, including medication handling and wait times.
Several families say staff manage medication and provide meals and snacks, helping residents stay on schedule. Others describe missed or delayed assistance, such as long wait times after call lights, incomplete check-ins, or staff not helping residents eat or take medications as expected. Some reviews also point to care failures tied to hygiene and continence, along with concerns about staffing levels and supervision. Taken together, residents’ day-to-day care support is reported as inconsistent.

Dining quality is disputed
Dining is both praised and criticized, with residents commenting on meals, nutrition, and variety.
Many reviewers like the meals, describing good food, multiple meals per day, and snacks—sometimes framing dining as a strength. Some also mention menus or restaurant-style appeal, and families say residents enjoy eating and participating in dining routines. However, multiple negative reviews call the food barely edible or lacking freshness and nutrition, and some mention small portions. Because both positive and negative dining stories show up repeatedly, dining quality appears to vary by experience and expectation.

Activities and outdoor space matter
Families mention regular activities and use of communal spaces, including a courtyard for fresh air.
Reviewers commonly describe community-sponsored activities such as bingo, movies/TV time, music, religious services, and planned outings or trips. Several also highlight spaces that support social time, including a dining area residents gather in and an activity room or game room. Outdoor space is a separate point: some say they can enjoy a courtyard and walks, while others complain that memory care residents don’t get outdoors much. Overall, the activity experience is frequently mentioned as a plus, with concerns mainly around access for certain residents.
caveat

Pricing feels affordable to some
Pricing is described as affordable by some families, while others say it’s not worth the cost for the care provided.
Several reviews call the community reasonable or more affordable, especially compared with what they expected or with other places they toured. A few reviewers also mention that residents receive meals and services that make the value feel good. Other reviews argue that the rent and added care costs don’t match what families experience—pointing to staffing shortages, delays, and poor food quality. With reviews both praising and challenging value, pricing appears to depend heavily on the level of care delivered.
