Why families choose Monte Rosa

Monte Rosa’s central location makes it easier for children and family members who live or work in the city to visit regularly and remain closely involved.

From the moment families walk into the building, many feel a sense of reassurance and familiarity. For some, Monte Rosa is already a known place, where parents or other family members have lived before and been well cared for.

Families also value the friendly staff and the way residents are treated with care and respect. Over time, this becomes even more evident as staff get to know residents and support them in their daily lives
