Sparr Heights Estates Senior Living - Montrose, California

The staff and residents here are wonderful! They made my 87 year old mother feel welcomed and cared for. She engages with the warm community atmosphere and there are fun activities everyday. Also, the staff communicates well with our family to ensure that we know how she is doing. They support by making doctor appointments and providing transportation. Its super helpful! Linda and her staff have really been a blessing during this challenging transition to senior living. We have referred friends looking for such a community for their loved ones.

I am sharing the review I posted on Yelp recently about Sparr Heights Senior Care - Assisted Living which I cannot praise highly enough. I'm not sure about the complaint about the memory care facility - my mom have experienced the exact opposite situation in assisted living - we have found the staff is extremely attentive and responsive to every need. I give them a hearty and enthusiastic 5 star rating!! Here is the review I left on Yelp and it still stands today:

My 92 year old mom moved into Sparr Heights assisted living in November. It was not an easy choice for her, as she is a very independent soul. My brother and I were worried that the transition would be very painful for her, as she really wanted to continue living alone, but that was not possible anymore. We saw other places, but from the minute we came to Sparr Heights, we knew it was the one. And more importantly, my mother did, too. It was love at first sight! And now it has been 4 months and my mom has totally adjusted and is loving it! Everyone is so accommodating there to my mom's every need! So professional, kind and sweet and they make every resident feel like a king or queen! I never have to worry about her - they recently had a resident with COVID and they immediately took the proper actions and the COVID did not spread! They kept my mom safe from COVID and I'm so grateful for that. The food is wonderful, the residents are wonderful and it's in a great little neighborhood. It's kept very clean and proper; the maintenance is first rate. It has an upbeat and happy atmosphere with good activities and my mom is extremely happy. It has changed my life, knowing that my mom is safe, happy and so very well looked after. Thank you Cynthia and Linda and all of the brilliant staff!!

If you have a loved one with dementia, look elsewhere.

Their memory care ward is understaffed and because of that the caregivers they do have don’t have enough time to take care of someone with advanced, combative dementia. To alleviate the situation, they attempt to pressure family and physicians to medicate patients into being docile, bordering on perpetually asleep.

Housekeeping is also understaffed, leading to carelessness. Numerous clothing items will be “lost” in the wash, potentially sent to some other resident. If something is spilled in a room by a resident, it takes a very long time to get it cleaned up.

Lots of thoughtlessness abound in their workers. My father fell 4 times in 5 weeks, and each time he was sent to the ER without enough clothes to keep him warm. They sent him in whatever he was wearing.

I give them 2 stars because the memorycare project director, Tina, seems to really care for the residents and works with them to the best of her ability.

Mountview assisted living is a beautiful community to live. The location is perfect. Located literally 5 min walking distance from old town Montrose which is where they have variety of restaurants, a bowling alley, a movie theater, coffee shops and shopping. And the pretty mountain views looking out your window is also a huge plus. The inside of the assisted living is also very clean and beautiful. I would definitely recommend seeing the community if you haven't yet.

Sparr Heights Estates is the ideal community for anyone seeking a continuation of a 5 star lifestyle. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Anyone who meets the Administrator, EJ, for the first time, knows Sparr Heights is in secure hands with management and that it is a fun, happy place!

It’s nestled in beautiful Montrose, CA and they have residents walk down to Trader Joe’s for independent shopping which is right around the corner. When I walked into the lobby, residents were laughing in conversation with each other and the Beatles were playing overhead immediately giving it a warm, engaging vibe.

I recently had one of my nurses travel here to work at Sparr Heights and out of all the places I’ve sent her to across the nation, she said, hands down, “Sparr is the nicest community I’ve ever been a part of in Sr. Living.” Sparr Heights is one of the best Assisted Living communities around and you’re in great hands choosing this home for yourself or a loved one.

My sister has been living in the Mountview Assisted Living facility in Montrose for over a year. She has a very nice, clean room, LOVES the staff and many of the residents. She very much enjoys the many activites and occasional outings. We, her family are very impressed with how well the staff knows her and attends to her own emotional needs, as well as the physical needs. She obviously feels very much "at home" there. So much so that sometimes when we take her out, she is anxious to get back to her "friends." We highly recommend this facility.

We recently had to move my 88 year old father into an assisted living community. We visited several and just didn't feel that they were a right fit. Upon entering Mountview and being greeted by Nikkianna Dyer, we knew we had found the right place. Nikki made us feel right at home and she and my father hit it off immediately, he often tells me that they joke and laugh together. This is just what my father needed. The entire staff is warm and caring and totally dotes on my father. It's that place where everyone knows his name. The facility itself is clean and well maintained, definitely a cut above any other facility we visited. They offer daily activities, a choice of meals and occasional outings. We feel comfortable and relieved knowing he is safe and well cared for.

Linda gave me a tour of the community, lovely place! They were throwing a Luau party and all the residents were up and dancing.
