The Montebello on Academy – Reviews
May 2023
The staff is always available and well trained. Food is excellent. Car service is especially good. The staff very cordial and I have yet to meet an unhappy face.
April 2023
My wife and I were guests at Montebello for 3 nights in April 2023, visiting my wife’s father. This was our 4th stay in Montebello’s guest suite. I’ve been impressed with the quality and consistency of the staff and accommodations during each visit. Breakfast today was huevos rancheros; dinner, coconut shrimp. Tonight was extra special, with a wine and chocolate pairing, hosted by Montebello’s senior staff. My FIL has been very satisfied with his 5+ years at Montebello. Hope to return soon for another visit.

I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful it is to work at Montebello on Academy. I have worked here for 3 years and it feels like home. The resident and team members are my friends and everyday feels like a day well spent. I run most of the exercise classes, bingo, movies, trivia. etc. for the independent living community and I love every moment. The residents share their lives with me and vice versa. We create relationships here and memories are being made everyday.

The Montebello is quite nice. The artwork is absolutely beautiful. Our community layout is perfect for my needs. A few of our workers do a fine job, in particular Amy for leading and Alex, Elaya for listening to me and my stories. I enjoy the restaurant and the options given to us. Thank you.
February 2023
I believe that the staff and residents are always willing to help. Our social interactions and activities are various for all likes. I particularly enjoy the mind and body healthy activities. My husband and I are fufiled spiritually, mentally and physically in many ways. We often frequent the music events, cultural attraction and many other fun planed affairs here at our home.

A couple years ago, my elderly mother and I toured several Independent living facilities in Albuquerque. The Montebello on Academy was her first choice and we soon put ourselves on the waiting list. Last week she finally moved in and the support she received was phenomenal. As with many seniors, she was anxious about the move and a bit reluctant to leave her home of 20 years. Since moving into the Montebello she has called me several times to rave about the apartment and the professionalism of staff. Britni Lujan has been our contact there and she has been extremely responsive and caring to both me and my mom during a very stressful process. We are both very pleased.
December 2020
My sister, Virginia Silva was recently admitted to an assisted living apartment at Montebello on Academy. The level of assistance provided by the staff, Maryann Stanely and Britni Lujan in particular, was exceptional. Because of COVID there was significant complexity transferring my sister from the hospital, to the skilled nursing center, and ultimately to Montebello assisted living. MaryAnn worked diligently and tirelessly assuring Ginnies smooth transition among these facilities. Britni Lujan dedicated several days of her time, caring enough to assure all of Ginnies possessions were properly accounted for , and placed with great care in her new assisted room. Britni Lujans efforts on Ginnies behalf were extraordinary, and my sister could not be happier. Thank you to the fabulous Montebello staff for all you do! JB Wallace

Our dear friend, David, moved into Montebello (independent living) several weeks ago. Thankfully, Nicole M. made the transition extremely easy. She is incredibly helpful and professional, as is the staff there! Montebello is a secure, positive, and friendly facility.... I believe David is enjoying his new friends and will continue to flourish there. Thank you Nicole!

Im in alot of places such as The Montebello on Academy on a daily basis. In walking in and around everyone is very friendly and helpful. The residents there look and sound very happy to be there. All there residents from the independent side to full assistance are always clean and well taken care of. This is a location I would put my own family member here and that when I leave they are in the best care out there.
September 2020
The Montebello is an awesome place to work, Ive been here 2yrs now and I love being here at the Montebello. My boss is fabulous she always works with me.
September 2020
I have worked at the Montebello for 18years . I enjoy coming to work and seeing the residents I feel like we make a difference in their lives. Working through this pandemic has made a impact on our lives as well as the residents. I think the leadership of our Executive Director Amy Dimas and the whole team have been very successful in keeping the residents safe as well as the staff.
September 2020
I am a waitstaff and I personally love the way the community works as a team in order to keep the residents happy. The food is usually a good 8, 10. The staff always has a smile on their face and from what I have seen, the dietary staff is always laughing and smiling with the residents. My favorite part of the job during this whole pandemic is that, 9 times out of ten were the reason the residents get to laugh more and smile more. The reason I say this is because were the only people they see and we make a huge impact on them just like they do to us. I love love making the residents happy!!!
April 2020
This is a beautiful community, and they have a great team!!

My mother was at the healthcare skilled rehab nursing unit. My mother is back home back to her normal self again walking around thanks for the staff of montebello. The PT, Nurses, and CNAs did a wonderful job helping my mother transitioning back to her independence again thanks so much. Great staff, food, care, and professionalism. Also I would like to thank the nurse Emily from night shift and Anthony the CNA for being so compassionate, caring, you two are truly caring people and put your heart and soul into there patients and treat them like there own family...

The professionals at The Montebello on Academy work diligently every day to provide: flavorful, beautifully plated meals; enriching, diverse and fun activities; and expert clinical services set in an aesthetically pleasing environment. Whether looking for a new home, gentle, daily assistance or rehabilitation and skilled nursing services, The Montebello on Academy offers a continuum of care unlike any other among Albuquerques senior living communities. As a healthcare professional and family caregiver, I wish I would have had the opportunity to share this 5-star rated community with my own family members.

I researched all the retirement villages in Albuquerque and decided on Montebello and we are so very happy! Its a fabulous place - my folks are in independent living. My mom has made so many friends and just loves the social aspect of living there! Its like a great big home where everyone knows your name! My parents have gotten to know so many interesting people- they love getting to know everyone and hearing their stories and theres so much for them to do! They love the Wednesday happy hour - its a big event and they look forward to that weekly social hour! Theres always some kind of special event they can attend. I never worry about them - I had been constantly worrying about them not eating properly and getting to the stores for their necessities when they were in their own home and Montebello took all that worry away! All the folks that work there are just the greatest! Theyre always planning something to keep the residents happy. We are just thrilled - ALL of us!
October 2019
As one of the original senior community centers, Montebello has always provided a great community and caring services for our aging population. We at About Seniors Moving enjoy moving in residents and working with the staff.
October 2019
Montebello is my home now. I moved in a year ago. I feel so happy here - safe and content and with so many friends - both male and female to talk to and compare notes with. It satisfies all my requirements. The staff couldnt be nicer - every one of them. I look forward to and enjoy every meal. Montebello is my new home forever.
September 2019
Ive been here for 10 years and enjoyed every minute of it. I appreciate the considerate and kind employees and the fact that I can enjoy as much privacy and, or socializing as I desire. Having qualified physical therapists available if they are needed and very adequate transportation and good drivers are also a plus. I recommend that people move in before they are desperate for senior living. Move in while you can still enjoy it.
September 2019
I work for a local home care agency that has been working with the Montebello for over a year now. All of the staff at the Montebello are always very friendly and attentive. They treat the residents with dignity and respect. The food is outstanding, the activities are amazing, and the whole atmosphere just makes you want to live there!
August 2019
The Montebello on Academy is truly a Five Star Senior Living community. The staff is professional, courteous, and very friendly. One could consider the Montebello on Academy a carefree living environment. From housekeeping, dining, transportation, to social activities, and even physical or occupational therapy; Montebello seems to have it all. My mother moved into Assisted Living January 2018. With the dedicated and exceptional help from Tom (an outstanding Physical Therapist and person), she was able to move in with her husband (my father) who was in independent living one month later. The Sales and Marketing Director, MaryAnn Standle,y is beyond professional. No matter how busy she is, she always has time to help you with any need or just to visit. When you feel its time to move from your home this is the place to go!
July 2019
Ive made a lot of new acquaintances and there are a lot of people to get to know. I like the activities that we can do, both on and off site. Its convenient for my family to come visit, because we all live in the same area. Shopping is made easier because we have the transportation. The food is good, as well, and theres a lot of it. I like the management a lot, too.

My grandmother was in the best hands while living at The Montebello during the last years of her life. I think very highly of all the staff as well as their beautiful facility.
April 2019
From the onset, Ms. Anna Herrera impressed with both The Montebello and the personnel that we met in selecting a residence for our mother. Since that time and since our entry into The Montebello, we have been both impressed and pleased with the treatment weve received from each and every employee there. We are finding that this will be a very suitable surrounding for the remaining years that we have with our mother. This confirms what we have been told by many people that were familiar with The Montebello prior to our coming.
March 2019
I have lived at the Montebello for about 8 years. l lived in Independent living and now in Assisted Living. I recently celebrated my 100th Birthday and Ms. Phyllis who is in charge of recreation and Chef Chalie made my celebration more than I could ask for. Being a 100 years old my family and friends are gone but living at the Montebello helps me realize that family is not all about being related its about, people who love you unconditionally. Thank you for all that you do! You make my last days my best days.
February 2019
My grandfather was at The Montebello on Academy for a skilled rehab stay following a hospitalization. The staff were always kind and courteous to him. The therapy team was awesome; they had him up and walking and back to his prior level of functioning. He enjoyed visiting with other veterans and participated in activities. These are things he was not getting to do at home. He also enjoyed the food, so our compliments to the chef; as he was a picky eater. Overall we were very pleased with the care and compassion he received. Thank you to all the staff!
February 2019
The nurses and staff at Montebello did an absolutely amazing job caring for our clients.
January 2018

The Montebello provides residents with a warm, inviting and comforting environment which includes a caring, courteous and responsive staff to residents specific needs. The facilities are always clean and the grounds are immaculate.

The services that are provided cover skilled, assisted and independent living that is unmatched by anyone else.

The therapy team is outstanding. My dad had a terrible accident and was not expected to walk. His loss of mobility was devastating. He spent over two months in the skilled nursing unit. The Physical Therapists were patient and skilled. They encouraged dad to work hard, and got him walking again. They have an excellent, clean facility, in a good location. My family is thankful to the whole Montebello staff.
