266 beds • Est. 1999 (26 years)


FYI Safety Score

8.7 Good

Vista Del Monte has 2 state citations and 1 verified complaint since 2021 across 9 inspections. The serious citation, issued in June 2021, found that a staff member had been working without a required criminal record clearance; a $500 civil penalty was assessed. A complaint substantiated in March 2025 found a memory care resident had slid out of bed multiple times without triggering a fall detection alert. The facility responded by updating the resident's care plan to include preferred care times, reminding staff of the resident's specific routine, and holding a care meeting to discuss fall mitigation options including a hospital bed, floor mat, and hip pads. A 2024 complaint investigating billing and fee practices was found unsubstantiated. Annual inspections in 2022, 2023, 2024, and most recently July 2025 were completed without citation.
