I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My parents moved to The Montecito Santa Fe. It is a very vibrant, open, and interesting community, because there's a lot of people who have had very extensive, interesting professional lives that are there. Given that the demographic is slightly younger and slightly older people, you get different levels of energy and engagement and conversation. They have nonstop different interest groups/things going on. There's a guy that used to work for NASA that talks with us about the things that they can track, li…

What I like about The Montecito Santa Fe is how beautiful it is. It's set up very nicely. It's open, and there's more light. It was bright and very nice. They had nice facilities, like hot tubs and a big workout room. They had a lot to offer, and that's why they were full. I saw the people eating, and the food looked very good. They have a menu they pick from. They have a gym, a salon, and a library. They have all kinds of activities.

We're currently here at The Montecito Santa Fe. It is a very fine place. I would say it is one of the best in the city. We get good care, and we have nice and comfortable surroundings. We have a nice apartment separate from the facility with 2 bedrooms and a den, and it's comfortable. Food is good. We have several activities. We have a really beautiful gym because it was built by a tennis player. We have a very nice restaurant area, lounge area, and rooms for games, talks, and discussions. If I do have co…

We very, very much enjoyed our visit at the Montecito Santa Fe. It was thorough. The place was very clean, friendly, and encouraging for a satisfactory lifestyle. The person that gave us the tour was incredibly a great ambassador for the Montecito Santa Fe. Her name was Rachel and she went above and beyond. The apartments were large enough. They were clean and well designed. They're just great. We were very pleased with each of the dining areas, too. They have excellent maintenance. There's constant upkee…

I have visited The Montecito Santa Fe and I fell in love with it. It has many advantages. I toured the independent side, but I will move into a place that will allow me to stay if I can no longer be independent. What's best is that there are several buildings. There are grounds to walk around on. You go out of your housing building and then walk a few blocks to get anywhere else. It's a neighborhood. It doesn't look like a hotel. There is a place to be outdoors. We were able to get into a couple of t…

I did a self-guided tour at The Montecito Santa Fe. That place was very nice as well as the layout. They had several activities scheduled like going into town for different things. One was going to the folk art museum. You just signed up for those. There were also on-site activities, like yoga and exercise classes in the fitness room. They have a pool and a spa where you could sign up for a massage. The man at the front desk was very pleasant. He answered some of the questions I had.
