Alta Vista Healthcare & Wellness Centre is a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility in Riverside, California, operating under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 055042. 99-bed facility. For Profit - Limited Liability Company. Part of the Citrus Wellness Centre chain. The facility is required to comply with the Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities at 42 CFR Part 483.
Alta Vista Healthcare & Wellness Centre has held its Medicare/Medicaid certification for approximately 53 years (certification date on file: 1973-01-01). Long-tenured facilities (15+ years) often have established F-tag remediation playbooks and a deeper standard-survey trail; newly-certified facilities (under 3 years) are subject to a different initial survey cadence under 42 CFR 488.308.
Local market context (Riverside County): Alta Vista Healthcare & Wellness Centre operates in Riverside County alongside 6 other Medicare-certified SNFs in our California cohort sample. Multi-facility counties create direct cohort comparison pressure — hospital discharge planners typically run side-by-side Care Compare lookups before placement decisions.
CMS publishes Five-Star ratings for nursing homes monthly, drawn from the most recent three years of standard surveys, complaint surveys, and Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions.
Long-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★★★ (5 of 5). Long-stay measures cover residents in the facility 100+ days and include indicators like residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, residents whose ability to move independently worsened, and residents with a urinary tract infection.
Short-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★★★★★ (5 of 5). Short-stay measures cover post-acute residents discharged within 100 days and include rehospitalization within 30 days, successful return to community, and improvement in function.
Differentiating long-stay from short-stay QMs matters for placement decisions — a facility with strong short-stay QMs may still underperform on long-stay metrics, and vice versa.
Alta Vista Healthcare & Wellness Centre has none of the four CMS-published red-flag indicators active at the most recent publish: not on the Special Focus Facility list, no Abuse Icon on Care Compare, no overdue inspection flag, and no recent change-of-ownership flag. Absence of these flags does not mean the facility is deficiency-free — see the survey history below.
Recent health deficiencies cited at last standard survey: 8. National average for facilities of this size is approximately 8 deficiencies per cycle. Alta Vista Healthcare & Wellness Centre has no CMS fines in its most recent reporting cycle. Last documented standard health survey: 2025-08-07. CMS conducts standard surveys at most every 15 months for SNFs, with substandard-quality findings triggering more frequent revisits.
CMS health survey weighted score: 38. The weighted score multiplies deficiency severity (A-L) by scope (isolated, pattern, widespread); higher weighted scores translate directly into the Health Inspection star rating tier breakpoints CMS publishes monthly.
Detailed staffing hours-per-resident-day data is not currently published for Alta Vista Healthcare & Wellness Centre in CMS Provider Data. The CMS Minimum Staffing Standards rule (89 FR 40876, May 2024) phases in a 3.48 total HPRD floor for non-rural facilities by May 2027 (rural facilities by May 2029), absent a hardship exemption under 42 CFR 483.35.
Alta Vista Healthcare & Wellness Centre is operated as part of Citrus Wellness Centre, a chain operating 5 Medicare-certified facilities (CMS chain identifier 849). Chain-operated facilities tend to share corporate compliance staff, standard operating procedures, and survey-prep resources — but also share enforcement exposure when CMS designates a chain-wide issue under the system-wide quality assurance framework.
Provider type designation: Medicare And Medicaid.
The facility is classified by CMS as urban (within a metropolitan statistical area). Urban SNFs typically face higher acuity post-acute admissions, more competitive labor markets, and stricter local-jurisdiction infection control requirements layered on top of federal CoPs.
Peer comparisons use a same-state cohort of 200 Medicare-certified SNFs, pulled live from CMS Provider Data. The cohort excludes terminated and surrendered certifications.
FileFlo's compliance indicator for Alta Vista Healthcare & Wellness Centre is 71/100 (Minor Gaps). The score is derived from publicly published health-deficiency counts, weighted survey scores, infection-control citations, fines, and staffing hours per resident day. It is not a CMS rating. The full survey-readiness audit (covering F-tags from the most recently cited deficiencies, infection control, staffing minimums, MDS accuracy) is at /tools/cms-survey-readiness-score.
