Holiday Montara Meadows

On East Tropicana Avenue in Las Vegas, at number 3150, Holiday Montara Meadows rents private apartments to seniors who want a social routine without the upkeep of a house. The community offers independent living only. Holiday by Atria, the independent-living rental brand of Atria Senior Living, is the operator, and the day revolves around events, entertainment and time with friends before heading back to a roomy apartment.

Monthly rent covers the apartment, chef-prepared meals 3 times a day, housekeeping and linen laundering, scheduled local transportation, maintenance of the building and grounds, standard utilities and a daily schedule of events. For someone relocating back to Las Vegas or leaving a house after a spouse dies, that list removes most of the weekly errands at once.

A fitness area is stocked with resistance bands, medicine balls and similar equipment, useful for residents keeping up a routine from physical therapy. Staff handle upkeep of the building and grounds as part of the rent. Families can take a virtual tour of an apartment online before scheduling an in-person visit, which helps relatives who live out of state narrow the choice before they travel.

Rent does not cover personal care or medication management, and phone, cable or internet may be billed separately. No particular apartment is held until a deposit is paid. Look at other senior living in Las Vegas side by side before signing.
