When compared against national benchmarks, Monte Vista Hills Healthcare Center presents a mixed profile across its component ratings. The overall 5-star rating exceeds the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in part by a strong quality measure rating of 5 stars and a health inspection rating of 4 stars. However, the staffing rating of 2 stars falls below the national average, which may be a relevant data point for those evaluating nursing staff availability and consistency of care delivery. Staffing levels in skilled nursing facilities are measured by CMS using payroll-based journal data and are adjusted for facility size and resident acuity. Prospective residents and their representatives are encouraged to review all available CMS data, conduct facility visits, and consult with healthcare professionals when making care placement decisions.
