VISTA KNOLL SPECIALIZED CARE FACILITY

Vista Knoll Specialized Care Facility is a Medicare and Medicaid certified skilled nursing facility located at 2000 Westwood Road in Vista, California, within San Diego County. The facility operates under for-profit, limited liability company ownership and has a certified bed capacity of 119 beds. Vista Knoll Specialized Care Facility holds an overall CMS 5-star rating, which is the highest tier available in the CMS Five-Star Quality Rating System. This overall rating is derived from three component ratings. The health inspection rating stands at 4 stars, and the staffing rating is also 4 stars, reflecting the levels of nursing and aide staff hours relative to resident census data. The quality measure rating, which is based on clinical performance indicators such as rates of falls, pressure ulcers, and rehospitalization, is 5 stars. These ratings are published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and are updated periodically based on inspection records, payroll data, and reported quality measures. As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, Vista Knoll Specialized Care Facility accepts both government-funded insurance programs. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to eligibility requirements and coverage limits. Medicaid coverage, administered in California through the Medi-Cal program, may cover long-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria. Individuals and families are advised to confirm current payment options directly with the facility, as coverage terms and availability can change. For reference, the national average overall CMS star rating for skilled nursing facilities is 3.0 stars. Vista Knoll Specialized Care Facility's overall 5-star rating places it above the national average across all rating components. Its component scores of 4 stars for health inspections and staffing, and 5 stars for quality measures, each meet or exceed what would typically be expected for facilities performing at or above the national baseline. These figures reflect performance data as reported to CMS and do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of the facility.
