From my visit, not only do they CARE about their residents, but the food is very good. I ate with my church friend who recently moved into her new apartment, which is huge. We were told we could order whatever we wanted from the menu to sample different things. The food was all very good. The chef visited our table, and he was pleasant and interested in our experience. So happy to see everyone so involved in the program after the meal. The live music was very good and many joined in. What a great experience I had.... Read more

The community looks beautiful, and she has a lovely apartment. The meals are great, they have a great variety too choose from. The staff have been very accommodating to her, and her needs. She is able to get her physical therapy on site in the community. I have already recommended this community, it is really fabulous community.

I have no complaints of how things went for my mom and I when we had taken a tour of this community. The staff where on time to our appointment and made sure to answer any questions we had for them. The property was beautiful and they had a lot of great amenities for all of the residents. I would have loved for my mother to attend this place but it was too much of an independent living.

The night we moved my mom is, they never told us when dinner time was or they did not greet us. It was not a good move in experience and their assistant manger was rude. The main manager had to take care of everything afterwards. Now that my mom passed, they are asking us to pay for 30 days, when she was not there for the month of payment they are asking me for. She was in rehab not at the community.

It is great within this community and we love it for my dad. I haven't seen him this happy in a long, it has just been great. He goes to bingo game and the music entertainment. He likes the food and likes it more that someone else is making his meals. He made friends very fast and has become a perfect next chapter for him.

Things are going fine at Montgomery Park. The staff are nice and helpful. The only minor issue I have is that the transportation is only available in the morning. The food is good and they keep the community clean. They offer daily activities and I would recommend this community.

The people in this community are very accommodating. We have no complaints, the process went much smoother than she anticipated. The apartment she's in is comfortable and is cleaned by maintenance once a week. The community provides 3 meals a day ,my brother and sister have tried them and have no complaints. My mother has gone on outings to go shopping. They even have entertainment that goes to the community once or twice a week.

Overall our experience with Montgomery Park has been a good one! It's a nice looking, well run facility, and they've been very welcoming to Mom. The other residents are very friendly, and Mom is really enjoying the company! I was also really impressed by the visiting nurse they use, when we had to work with her recently. We've had some minor issues with the housekeeping and maintenance staff, but nothing major. Overall it's a very nice place!

I transferred my aunt from Florida, and from my perspective and my aunt's, we should have done this move much earlier. I was concerned about change of this caliber being too hard for an elderly person, but in reality, it became a wonderful positive experience. The people, service and facility at Montgomery Park have been excellent.

I was able to assist my Uncle with finding a place when coming across Montgomery Park. Since he's moved in there has been no issues or complaints from him. He really likes the food and said it has been a very positive experience so far. He has even participated in the activities although he feels they are geared more towards women.All in all it's been good.

Staff is wonderful. Although, they provide services like if anyone needs help with bathing and such, then there is someone twice a week and they have cars with drivers that take you to the store. There is a schedule and its lovely. very happy here.

My aunt has been there about a month. She has a buddy when she moved in. She can have her cat there, they have been so good to us. We drive about 11 miles to see her. My Aunt is really happy there. They have buses to the store that she can get on. They have cleaning services once a month.

It is excellent at Montgomery Park. I think its just a wonderful wonderful place. It's the nicest situation that you could have for an older person. They have their own apartment but you can bring help in if you need. There is always someone around to help. The residents are always dressed. It's not the environment you would find in assisted living. The grounds are beautiful. They do not provide the care themselves but they do provide outside care if you need it. For someone that needs just a little bit of help it is perfect. If someone even needs assistance showering they can have someone come in and help with showers twice a week. They have a vehicle to take the residents on field trips, to the grocery stores, and doctor visits and this is all included in the price. Overall it is just a wonderful facility.

I was looking for a place to give my Mom more assistance with daily living than her independent Sr. Apt could give her. Here she gets quality meals three times a day and someone to be available 24/7 should she need help. This was very important to me as I live a distance away from her. It's such a relief to know she's safe and eating healthy food.

First of all the staff -- they are wonderful. So kind and helpful. My mother was having a little trouble meeting people, so the staff introduced her to two lovely women whom she now meets for lunch and dinner every day. They've become friends, and that's emboldened Mom to venture out a little more into the Montgomery Park community. Second, the facility is bright, airy, spacious, and the apartments are bigger than the other facilities I looked at. Big rooms, wide halls and doorways, walk-in showers, lots and lots of closet space. Montgomery Park is stylish, comfortable, and safe. Third, the food is delicious Mom didn't eat very well when she lived with me, but she's eating better and enjoying it a whole lot more now. She's diabetic, and there is always a range of things for her to choose from. I'm so glad we found Montgomery Park. I feel really good about Mom being there because I know she's comfortable, happy and safe.

We toured this community while looking into senior living options for a loved one. We really liked the look of Montgomery Park! It is a nice size, with 114 units total. It's smaller than some of the other communities we looked at, and has a cozier feel to it. The staff is very friendly, and the building itself is always kept immaculately clean! It's Dad's first choice, and it is so nice I'm wondering when I can move in!

They do an absolutely fabulous job at Montgomery Park! I've worked in the health care industry for quite a while, so I've had a lot of experience with senior communities, and Montgomery Park is right at the top of the list! The staff here are friendly and professional, and they makea real effort to get to know the residents as individuals. The facility itself is clean and well kept, and they've got a great variety of activities and events to keep everyone engaged and entertained! And the dining experience is top notch, the food they serve is delicious. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking into senior care in the area!
