The apartments are nice (I guess that comes under "clean") the atrium is pretty, gives a sense of spaciousness! The on your own activities like the library and the exercise area are not stuck off in separate, closed in rooms, but are each on a different floor around the atrium. Lovely use of that space! One is a game "room," I think. The library is on [name removed] floor so I remember that one, and I thought he'd use the exercise area, so I had that one locked in my mind. But no. He does his "steps," walking in place in the kitchen so people don't "bother" him. Pretty severe introvert, that one! He did find "his" table of people -- the quietest ones all sit together. Another floor has a track they can walk around the atrium. I think it's linoleum, instead of carpet, but while they walk, they can look down at the people that are coming and going and checking their mail, etc. Even watch the piano concerts from at least the 2nd floor, if not higher. You can certainly HEAR it higher! Except for some repairs at first that seemed to drag out, the atmosphere is lovely! (replacing wet carpet, in front of the elevators, people had to walk on some plastic or something for what seemed like a too long time.) I THINK they don't have the lemon water cooler -- sometimes cucumbers or oranges -- That some others have, but I think that's how you get the more important things for the better price. If I could no longer do my many hobbies that require a lot of attention, I think I myself would enjoy the Montclair. Actually, I think, isn't Caimbridge that an Aldi is in the same block? They can walk without crossing a street! And they have a balcony for every upstairs room and actual outside earth that can be fenced in, in the back for the ground floor. I saw some pets and gardens in those fences. (Montclair has pets, too. Up to 35#. I didn't think to mention it because it doesn't affect my brother. He never had a pet in his life, except as my parents assigned one of mine for him to feed. I don't think he's ever had an indoor plant.) Cambridge has the atrium too, and a little more agressive activity plan. A rewards system for certain preferred behaviors. Like flowers on their balcony or wearing some tag or thing around your neck that helps them in emergencies. Then you get Caimbridge bucks to spend on practical things like shampoo and soap. Combs, toothbrushes. Probably not the ones that fit my electric toothbrush. I'm on the fence about the reward system. But to still "own" a patch of dirt outside my door (if I had to leave my house and things) would be awesome! That's a long way off yet. I think the Montclair is the best fit for the money for [name removed]. A little quieter than Cambridge (if I have the name right) a pinch more genteel, without the incentive programs. Lovely place. There were several others that were just as lovely, if not a little more, but the price was greater than his SS payments. This one just fit him in all directions. And I really like the "tour guides" at Montclair.... Read more

Our father has been at the Montclair for over 5 years and I am glad to have a chance to tell other people about this outstanding place. The living spaces and the common areas are all bright and spacious. The food is tasty and healthy, with choices at every meal. The staff is always (always!) friendly, cheerful and kind. Residents have a huge range of activities available - exercise, music, games, movies, religious services, trips to sports and stores. and concerts and gardens. If your loved one is feeling unwell, there is medical support available, as well as other kinds of help, such as meals brought to he room or medication reminders. This is especially important for us because Dad wants to stay in MO, over 1000 miles away from his next of kin. They welcome us on our frequent visits, even with toddlers in tow. But when we are not there, we never worry, because the Montclair takes such excellent care of him

They are doing a great job at The Montclair, it is a very nice place! The staff and the residents both seem friendly and happy, and the place just has a warm friendly feel in general. I liked that when we were doing they had an actual resident of the community show us around and explain things! They are definitely worth a look, if you are looking for options in the area!

The staff seemed extremely friendly and interacted well among the residents. There are no studio rooms available at this time and the other rooms are too expensive. The cafeteria atmosphere was warm and friendly and the food was exceptional. The studio room was very spacious and the rest of the rooms are on several floors around an atrium. Linens laundered and rooms cleaned are done every two weeks. Access is by walking and elevator. Everything looked clean and organized. Free transportation is provided for some activities, shopping, dr and such. The atmosphere seemed to be a good fit for someone to enjoy living there.

After touring and interviewing nine facilities in the Springfield area, The Montclair was clearly the front-runner and a unanimous choice for our family member! This facility has been in business for 25 years and they definitely run a first-class operation. Every amenity and service you can think of is covered at The Montclair for a fair price. The facility is not only beautiful, but also offers roomy apartments with great floor plans and abundant closet storage. The qualified staff truly exceeds one's expectations. It is quickly obvious how much they care about their residents and the company for which they work. Last, but by far not least, the dining experience at The Montclair is exceptional--the menu choices are almost limitless--delicious entrees are presented by friendly wait staff in a pleasant atmosphere. Combine all of the above and it is easy to see why the residents of The Montclair are always smiling! If you are looking for independent senior housing in SW Missouri, we encourage you to contact The Montclair today for a visit of this exceptional facility.
