This rating reflects the hours per resident per day provided by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants relative to peer facilities. As a facility certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, Alta Vista Healthcare & Wellness Centre is authorized to bill the federal Medicare program for qualifying short-term skilled nursing care and the California Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal, for eligible long-term residents who meet income and asset criteria.

The overall 4-star rating and the 5-star quality measure rating indicate performance above the national norm in several tracked categories. The 4-star health inspection rating similarly suggests a favorable inspection record relative to peer facilities across the country. However, the 1-star staffing rating represents a notable area where the facility's reported staffing levels fall considerably short of national standards.
