Hear what our residents have to say about The Montecito ...

"We Like It Here!" Longtime residents of Phoenix, George and Helen Chrisman, desired to remain in the area without the burden of maintaining a large home and yard. "Although in excellent health, we wanted a place close to our children and yet near the lively entertainment center of Peoria."

Helen fell in love at first glance with the Gracious Desert Retirement Living afforded by The Montecito. "By choosing the Villas at Montecito, we enjoy life to the fullest with recreation and social events of our choosing. The dining is superb both in The Montecito dining hall and in the intimate Bistro in the Villas section. And we cannot say enough about the staff at The Montecito. They care. We are truly blessed to live in this community."
George & Helen Chrisman

"We came to The Montecito because we were no longer able to manage our property. The Montecito was nearby so we could keep our community contacts. The things I enjoy most at The Montecito are swimming, the exercise room, the Library, Tai Chi, the Chapel, and the many friends we have found here."
Lucille Jacobson

"Hi, my name is Raymond Roger. I was born in Massachusetts in 1932. I and my family moved to Arizona in 1959. We lived in Phoenix and Surprise. When my wife died in 2004 I then moved to The Montecito in April of 2005. I love living here because of the wonderful, caring staff, and friendly residents."

"I had ninety great years in Allentown. I moved to The Montecito and had hopes of just one more year - I have enjoyed four wonderful years here!"
Elsie Smart

"The two things that attracted us to this place are the size of the units and the attractiveness of the interior and exterior of the building. We like the friendliness of the staff as well as the residents."
