    About Montclair Royale

    Montclair Royale sits in Montclair, California, close to Claremont, Upland, and surrounding cities, and you'll find it nestled against the San Bernardino Mountains, which makes for some nice views and a pleasant setting, and there's public parks nearby if folks like getting outside once in a while, though the place itself has its own landscaped courtyard, a barbeque picnic area, plus patios or balconies on some apartment homes, so residents can sit out and enjoy the weather right at home. The building has plush carpets, walk-in closets, and vertical blinds in each unit, and all utilities are paid except telephone and cable, which you don't see everywhere, and air conditioning keeps everything cool and comfortable. The facility offers studios and one-bedroom apartments with wheelchair accessible showers and full tubs, as well as a choice to bring in your own furniture or use furnished suites for convenience, making it flexible for different needs.

    Montclair Royale provides a licensed residential care facility for the elderly, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care, including special support for Alzheimer's and dementia, with a safeguarded area to prevent wandering, cognitive activities, and staff trained in handling memory needs. You can expect staff to help with non-medical issues like medication reminders, bathing, or moving around, and they're available around the clock, plus there's a 24-hour emergency system for safety. Housekeeping and meal services are part of life here, with three home-cooked meals prepared daily, snacks, and a private dining room for family events or gatherings. The community is pet-friendly for those who want to bring their animal friends along, and it offers respite care for short stays as well as aging-in-place, so residents can remain even as care needs change.

    Inside, residents keep busy with a game room, library, lounge, and a screening room for movies, which are nice for social time or for a quiet afternoon. There are wellness programs, devotional services, and planned social, educational, and entertainment activities to give everyone a chance to join in. There's a beautician available on-site, too, which helps people feel their best, and you'll find resident parking and easy access to bus lines-plus the facility provides transportation to appointments, stores, and errands, sometimes at no extra cost, which makes things easier if someone doesn't drive anymore.

    Other features include accessible living for those with disabilities, friendly staff, and plenty of floor plans to choose from, so whether a person needs just a little help or more support each day, there's an option that fits, and the building keeps safety in mind, which can ease worries. Montclair Royale focuses on providing comfort, nutritious meals, convenient amenities, and respectful care, so older adults can live in a welcoming environment while staying as independent as possible, and family members can visit, take a tour, or even have a meal with their loved one to see what daily life is like here.
