They were very nice. They interacted well with the residents. The rooms were a good arrangement. Everything looked clean. The outdoor area was very nice and the residents had easy access to it.

Review for Brookdale Monterey

The staff, activity director, activities, food/dining is wonderful. [name removed] is doing great! Everything about his room is always clean. I know it's hard to get all the washing done for each patient is tough. Last time I was there [name removed] and I went and washed his clothes. It was a good outing for him.

They have private and semi private rooms. We got a 1/3 off deal moving in for [fee removed]/mo

5's across the board. Maybe my favorite thing for [name removed] is- we had a nice room big enough for his furniture. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families based on the experience so far.
