Overall Review of Montebello Care Center

common

Staff care is both praised and criticized

Residents describe both very caring staff and moments when help felt slow or unprofessional.

Many reviews talk about staff being warm, friendly, helpful, attentive, and compassionate, including praise of nurses, CNAs, housekeepers, and the office staff. Other reviews describe staff treating call buttons or patient needs as an inconvenience, taking a long time to respond, or showing poor communication with families. Several reviewers connect these experiences to whether they felt supported during rehab or when urgent help was needed.

common

Cleanliness and odors come up often

Cleanliness is a recurring point, with multiple reviewers calling the facility clean while others report strong cleanliness problems.

Positive reviews frequently mention a clean, well-kept facility and describe it as fresh and organized. Negative reviews mention smells (including urine/pee), dirty or filthy restrooms, and reports of bugs or pests in rooms. There are also comments suggesting some areas were not being maintained consistently, which may explain why cleanliness reviews vary so widely.

differentiator

Rehabilitation and therapy are major focus

Rehabilitation and therapy are consistently mentioned, and many residents describe meaningful progress.

A large share of reviews emphasize physical and occupational therapy, describing attentive therapists and better mobility after rehab. Some reviewers specifically praise speech and wound care as part of the rehabilitation program, while others mention therapy being a key reason they chose the facility. On the flip side, a few reviews claim therapy time was insufficient or that their loved one came out worse after the program.

caveat

Call-button response and communication vary

Several reviews describe long waits for help and limited updates for family members.

Some reviews report that when a call light was used, staff took a long time to arrive or did not provide assistance as expected, including restroom-related help. Other family members describe a lack of communication about conditions, medication changes, or day-to-day updates while their loved one was there. These accounts also include situations where reviewers felt safety or timely care was not handled quickly enough.

caveat

Dining and special diets are uneven

Diet support is part of the offering, but some reviews question how well special diets are followed.

The community is described as providing meal preparation and dining options that align with special dietary restrictions, including diabetes-related diets. Even so, some reviews complain about salty food, snacks they felt did not match diet needs, and difficulty following what doctors ordered. At least a few other reviewers say their loved ones seemed to like the food or that it was adequate, which may help explain the mixed impressions.

  • A cozy dining room with neatly set tables, adorned with flowers and surrounded by comfortable chairs.
common

Nearby medical options are close

The area includes nearby hospitals and pharmacies for medical access.

Multiple nearby medical and pharmacy options are within a few miles, including Beverly Hospital and a cluster of pharmacies. This can make it easier to handle prescriptions and medical follow-up, especially for residents needing transportation for appointments. The proximity is also relevant given that several reviews mention hospital transfers or medical issues during stays.
