Montgomery Place Retirement Community Frequently Asked Questions
What does Montgomery Place Retirement Community cost?
Montgomery Place determines pricing for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing care by considering care type, care level, staffing, and available services. Additional services like cognitive support, daily living assistance, and wellness activities may influence the total cost. Call (800) 755-1458 for customized quotes and tailored pricing.
Does Montgomery Place Retirement Community accept Medicare or Medicaid?
Medicare does not pay for independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing care, home care, or respite care because these services are considered non-medical and focus on housing or daily support rather than medical treatment.

Some memory care services, including medical supervision or healthcare-related needs, may also qualify for Medicare coverage. Medicaid may assist with the costs of assisted living, memory care, nursing care, home care, or respite care through state-specific programs, but independent living is not typically covered.

Reviews Montgomery Place Retirement Community
July 2026
my grandmother resided here a few years ago before she passed. i walked in one day asking for a disposable mask at the front desk, and the woman working told me no, its only for people inside. i was a little disappointed, knowing how much money goes into this place and they couldn’t spare me one mask. my grandmothers care was entrusted to you all, i can only imagine how amiss she would feel knowing i was denied a simple request.

The dinning here is lousy. Some servers are good servers. They bring you stuff you don't ask for. I asked for ranch, they brought dill sauce. Once they go into the kitchen it's like they forget what they went in there for. I can count on one hand when my dish was pleasing June 19th still lousy. Do y'all train y'all servers or just put them in the dinning room. Someone can get I'll if they serve a person who's allergic to certain ingredients when a server doesn't know DILL SAUCE from RANCH DRESSING. Brussels Sprouts from Asparagus.

I just want to say my dad moved into Montgomery Place about a year ago, and WOW WOW WOW. I'm not being paid to write this. I don't work there. I am telling you the 100% truth: it's one of the best places I've ever been as a human being on this planet. It's a life-affirming place. A place filled with actual good feeling, even joy, and I've spent time with my parents in places that were horrible”just terrible places (eg, The Claire is good and solid but a little bland and corporate; MP feels much more intellectual and family-like; other nursing home places I've been to feel like you are just hoping that something doesn't go wrong...they are like accidents waiting to happen...I won't name names... ). MP is the absolute opposite of that. I have no idea how someone could rate this place less than 5 stars. From the CEO to the person working on the second floor cleaning out trash cans, every single person has been pretty much great. I can name names: Leatrice, Sonia, Patricia, Steve, Amadi, Mark, Jennifer, Jonathan, Paulette...this list could go on and on...We're talking hundreds of interactions with lots of people. I know this sounds too good to be true (if I read it, I'd think that), but in my experience and my dad's”we're talking dozens of people all up and down the MP line”office staff, waiters in the dining room, nurses, front desk, security, the drivers”the people are always reliable, kind, have a good sense of humor, seem to like their work, and do a great job. You are treated like family”and I swear to you: the food is actually good, sometimes really good, and on its worst nights it's like eating at an Applebees. I defy someone to prove me wrong on that. Like, this is the place you dreamed and hoped would exist for your parents. It does. It's here. No lie. I'm sure there's someone incompetent here, but I have not run into them in all these months. If you have parents and you love them, get them into this place and neither of you will ever regret it. I have said to myself the money we spent on MP is the best money I have ever spent. AN AMAZING PLACE!

Since moving here last year I have had a great experience. Evelyn Allen

It is wonderfully reassuring to know that my mother lives in a safe, supportive and respectful community, especially because I live in another country. She moved in while she was still working and MGP gave her the secure base of a lovely apartment in a warm and inclusive community, while she was travelling and active in other ways. And now that she is not working, she can enjoy the rich variety of resources and facilities at MGP, supported by a staff who are invariably helpful, attentive and respectful. The activities are excellent (yoga today was great) and there is lots of variety. I would highly recommend this as a vibrant, comfortable and welcoming community, with a flexible and appropriate amount of support for independent retirement living.
August 2025
Dining inconsistent. Costs of food seems more important than nutrition and good food. Lacks creativity in menu. Specials are the same each week. Quality of meats lacking. Servers need continuous training but are good overall. Wonder about consistency of kitchen staff.
July 2025
If you just want to stay with the retirement community at your own apartment, it may be a right place for you. This is a nice neighborhood and you can enjoy the facilities in this place. The worse part is staying at the skilled nursing floor/ section. It is always short staffed. My dear friend stays there for two years and I went there 3-4 days a week. I know the CNAs and nurses well, and also see the changes in these two years. There is no way to have 2 CNAs work on the whole floor. No matter how you push them or how hard they try, there is no way to perform a good quality of care. My friend is a 100 year old woman who has mobility issue and twist her back muscle lately. She is not feeling well so I see her everyday for the last few days. I am on top of her situation. I tried to find help to get her back to bed and position her properly before she went to sleep. The CNA said she is working on something else and will get another staff to help because it takes two persons to pull the draw sheet up on the bed. I waited for at least half an hour. The male nurse Tony came in the room and said my friend is so independent and is able to do it. She is in pain. I tried to explained her situation and he never listened and insisted she should do it herself. I took a picture of my friend position and how she struggled. He kept arguing with me. At the end nurse Tony got the CNA to do this simple job. I just feel it is not fair for my friend paying $13,000+ a month for not getting this little favor. If I am not HydeParker and a family of University of Chicago, I will not help my friend to settle in this place at the beginning. A senior home is not only required knowledgeable health care personnel or management, it also needs someone work with compassion. Amen. The reason to edit my review is that after expressing my concerns to Mark, I have trust that he listens and understands.

Sweet & Sour employees . The Chef is the best Part the food is delicious .Cleaning staff not up to par especially for the cost our elderly love ones are charged to reside near the beach .

My mother has been here twice. It's a lovely facility, but they are currently short staffed. My mother is a rehab patient and not a resident. I think the independent residents enjoy having an active retirement community in a pleasant neighborhood.

Beautiful building and facility. Kind staff. They offer everything from Independent living, skilled and memory care. The property also offers a floor called The Cornell Neighborhood which is a hybrid of Independent living and Assisted Living which offers 24 hour staff if you need assistance on the same floor. If you are in need of care taking they offer that service as well. All in one. The building offers great food in a lovely dining room.

Great Place and Location, near the lake across from Museum of Science and Industry, trail walk. Staff are always pleasant and helpful. Highly recommended for a love one.

Great place, friendly people, nice atmosphere, very clean property. I would highly recommend visiting the establishment. Very close to the museum and the lake front.

In these days of anxiety and stress, Montgomery Place makes its residents feel even more than usually "sheltered in place". The staff is catering to our every need, bringing food, mail, newspapers and meals to our door with alacrity and good humor. We miss the stimulation of our interesting group of residents, and the delights of the common spaces, but we could not be better taken care of.

The staff is very nice and reliable. They have good relationships with the residents. The residents speak very highly of the staff. The nice lady at the front desk is very helpful and has great customer service.. Ask for DAWN..
October 2019
The shared rooms are too small for two people. Sometimes they were deficient on cleaning. Most of the staff were nice, except for one young woman who worked in the kitchen, who often had a negative attitude.

My uncle moved in here briefly before he passed away, living in the independent living part. Prices were very reasonable for the services and apartment. They made every effort to include him in activities. Facilities are a bit dated but clean. Most importantly, when he got ill, the staff went out of their way to help--way above and beyond the call for a retirement home. Colin Stewart, our main contact, was polite, professional, and amazingly helpful in so many ways during the traumatic experience of my uncle's illness. We could not have managed without Montgomery Place, both with their terrific help during the transition from my uncle's apartment to the home and then with their fantastic support during his illness.
