Meals provide sustenance on many levels — physical, social and emotional. From enjoying a favorite comfort food to eating with friends, dining at Monterey is an important part of life here.
To provide the same flexibility you’re used to at home, we offer communal meals in dining rooms as well as room service, a beverage cart, snacks, open pantries, guest meals and coffee service. We have seasonal, bistro and heart-healthy bistro menus to meet all needs and tastes.
We make sure our food is just as healthy as it is delicious through registered and licensed dietitians who work with our dining services manager to ensure specialized meals are served. Optimal nutrition is achieved by serving regular or minimally restricted diets that allow for resident choice, determined with the person and in accordance with his/her informed choices, goals and preferences, rather than exclusively by diagnosis.

“I spent seven months at Monterey Rehabilitation Center, Skilled Nursing & Memory Care last year. While I was a patient there, I honestly felt that I received top-notch care from all of the staff. Whenever I hear that anyone needs any of the services offered, I don't think twice about recommending any MacIntosh Center.”
"The staff at Monterey really made me feel welcome and were so kind to me and my needs."
“My experience at Monterey was absolutely fabulous. The therapists were amazing, especially Patrick and Anthony. They didn’t let me get away with anything and that’s why I am able to walk out of here. The nurses and aides were there for me when I needed something. The kitchen staff was so friendly and the food tasted good. My husband was here 5 years ago and had amazing care, so that’s why I chose to come here for my rehab. Monterey has such a friendly atmosphere and they are very accommodating.”
“I was at Monterey 4 years ago and you can tell they are constantly improving their center. The new paint and furniture makes the rooms feel bigger and brighter. The food has even improved and I enjoyed the wide variety of options available on the menu. The staff went the extra mile for any care needs that arose and the therapy staff does a great job at working the patient to their limits and not pushing them farther just to reach a specific goal they’ve set for the patient. I have been to other centers where this is the case. Monterey is my number one center.”
“Coming to Monterey was a miracle. Before going to the hospital I could hardly walk. Now I have my strength back and I am able to walk again. My biggest problem was falling, and now I don’t have to worry about that. They helped me get my life back. I would recommend Monterey to anyone who is having the same problems I was. The therapy staff never gave up on me, they are wonderful.”
“I have been a patient at Whetstone Rehabilitation Center four different times. Needless to say, I would not continue to come here for my short-term rehabilitation if I did not think highly of the center and the staff. All four of my stays have been excellent in essentially every single aspect. Whetstone has an excellent therapy crew. They were all very friendly therapists who provided great care and treatment during my therapy sessions. I can't say enough about the therapy team at Whetstone.”
“I have been impressed with the courtesy of the workers at Monterey Rehabilitation Center, Skilled Nursing & Memory Care and their help in my recovery. They are quick to meet my needs as they arise. I am thankful for their help and consider many of the staff my new friends.”
My life had changed so much since I’ve been here. Life is looking better every day and I thank Monterey Care Center for helping me get through the toughest times in my life. For that I’m truly thankful!
