Quality living
They have made my brothers (The [name removed] Brothers) a home where they have a life and are happy. That gives me peace of mind. I know they are protected, fed, encouraged, entertained, and loved, all things that I wanted for them.

All I hoped for
My initial encounter with the staff at Monarch Estates was positive. They were prepared for my visit and gave us an unhurried tour. I was pleased to find the size apartment we wanted on the first floor near the dining room that had a back door that opened to the spacious lawn and walking trail. I can't comment on the food or activities because I do not live in the area, but my brother tells me he is quite content there. I have no complaints.

My mom likes the landscaping the most. I like the friendly residents. Possible improvements- my mom said she doesn't like to criticize... I'll say the meals could be a bit more healthy and tasty.

I would and have recommended the facility to others and they have concurrently moved in. It took my Mom about 9 months to adjust to this lifestyle arrangement, and now she absolutely loves being at the facility. It has improved her mentality, her socialization and her physically. The housekeeping is lacking. The quality of the food is terrible! They have a lot of diabetic residents living at the facility, but yet do not offer any type of options for them. The move in was extremely easy.

This community is definitely for independent living, there are no nursing services at all unless you pay extra. This community is definitely for those who want to stay active and can get up and do fun things. It is a really nice community its been wonderful and we would recommend to others.

Excellent Experience with Holiday Monarch
My loved one is having a wonderful experience. They serve a lot of sandwiches and he has a hard time eating them. Also, on the weekends they serve a lot of boxed lunches. Very welcoming, caring and understanding. Medication personnel is very communicative. Excellent job of locating him to take his medication. My loved one even moved apartments ( moved to larger apartment) and they were so very helpful. Only improvement could be w the food, but honestly, they are doing the best they can due to short staffing situation

nice community but needs improvement
The place has been bought out a few times and right now just like everyone else they are understaffed so a lot of what we are paying for is not happening. They are supposed to have a meal menu but it seems like the chef is just throwing some things together and the kitchen staff is always out. The do have a few activities but it could be better. We do really like the community there just needs to be improvement

A good place to live
They've had a lot of changes in management since we've been there, but hopefully that will get settled down soon. For the most part, my loved ones like the food. They've had some minor issues with delivery, but it's gotten a lot better recently. I'm satisfied with having my loved ones here. The location is good, and small pets are allowed.

Mediocre
Not organized. Food is high starch high carb cheap. They save money on electricity and keep the place dark and gloomy. Needs music and activities but they claim it’d COVID-19. However at least use real eggs not powdered eggs.

They have had a great Covid plan and focus on keeping the residents safe and I am very happy with how they have handled it. They have a menu and currently, the dining room is open at a third capacity. The activities director is very good but they are trying to do activities, and they have a bus for transportation. I would recommend this community to others.

about Holiday Monarch Estates

Holiday Monarch Estates offers 2 Bedrooms, Studio and 1 Bedroom. Learn more.
A Place for Mom has scored Holiday Monarch Estates 8.8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
