The Montebello on Academy

We know this is a big change! It is a concern we often hear from seniors and their families. The good news is that there will be staff and fellow residents around who will be happy to help you learn your way around the community. Before long you will find yourself feeling right at home! We hope this information helps you or the senior you love feel more positive about the changes ahead. If you have a question we didn’t answer or if you would like to schedule an in-person visit, please call the Five Star Senior Living nearest you. Our staff will be happy to arrange a time that is convenient for you to join us for lunch and a personal tour!

We hear this concern from seniors often. Sorting through and packing up a lifetime of memories and belongings can be overwhelming. One resource we like to share with families is a group of professionals called Senior Move Managers. They are experts at handling all of the details of a later life move. You can find one near your home by visiting the National Association of Senior Move Managers or Certified Relocation & Transition Specialist.

Good question! Embarking on a new chapter in life doesn’t mean old friends have to be left behind. Assisted living communities offer a wide range of programs and events residents can invite guests to participate in. And they also offer transportation services so your dad can attend events in and around town with his old buddies. Fortunately, there are other ways your father can stay in touch. Social media channels like Facebook or a video chat service such as Skype are two easy avenues for staying connected.

This sometimes happen when it actually comes time to make the move. Your mom is probably anxious and a little uncertain. A late life transition like this isn’t easy to make. What might help is to get her involved in some of the events and activities at the new community now, instead of waiting until she actually moves in. Talk with the staff to see about helping her find a buddy with similar interests and hobbies that she can bond with during her visits. Becoming more familiar with the community and with a few fellow residents can help make the move feel a little less intimidating.

I am the Executive Director and would like to speak with you as it is our goal to provide a positive working environment for all our team members. Please contact me at the community at your earliest convenience.

Those of us who have experienced the impact of COVID-19 on residents, clients, families and colleagues think of individuals and not just numbers. That is why we have been, and remain, committed to safeguarding our residents and team members. While we continue to adjust our policies as conditions dictate, our first consideration is always the well-being of our entire community. We continue to diligently enforce infection prevention protocols, utilize personal protective equipment, and have made the decision that all team members who work in our communities must be fully vaccinated. I am the Executive Director and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you in detail about all we are doing to continue to keep the community safe. Please contact me at your convenience.
