    My mom was admitted to Alta for skilled nursing toward the end of April, after a two-week hospital…read morestay at Cedars for recurrent glioblastoma. Trying to get her into the right SNF was a major challenge, but when Alta finally accepted her, we were thrilled. (My mother-in-law had been a previous patient there, and we liked the facility.) From the moment my mom arrived at Alta, the staff was warm and friendly and took great care of her. She always had a smile on her face and told me how much she enjoyed being there. She was always in the activities room, either participating in some fun activity or at least sitting in there watching others when she wasn't physically able to join in. She particularly enjoyed jewelry making and the visits from the service dogs. I was always greeted by Rachel when she saw me, and she would ask me to help pick out my mom's food choices for the upcoming few days. The food always looked and smelled great, and my mom usually ate everything on her plate. After about a month at Alta, she hadn't been making much improvement due to her condition and some underlying issues that no one had known about. She had stopped eating and was sleeping a lot more than usual. Jose, one of the nurses, called me one evening to let me know that she was very dehydrated and had a weak pulse, so they were starting her on an IV and monitoring her closely. About an hour later, he called back to say she was having trouble breathing and that he had called the paramedics. Jose told us he suspected sepsis, but we couldn't figure out how that was possible. Unfortunately, she had suffered a bowel perforation, which led to septic shock and then cardiac arrest (due to a previous hospital treatment). If not for Jose's quick thinking and expertise, my mom would have passed away at Alta in her bed. Thanks to him, we were fortunate enough to get her to the hospital to say our goodbyes. Sadly, she passed away a few hours after arriving at the hospital on May 26, 2026. When we returned to Alta to gather her belongings, the staff members we spoke with were visibly saddened and shocked to hear the news. We are so grateful to Alta and their wonderful staff for taking such great care of my mom. Her last month on earth was filled with kindness and compassion, and she received so much love and care there.

    The 5-star reviews are not recent. Community Memorial Hospital (CMH) released my grandmother here…read moreThursday afternoon and it was so creepy that we rearranged to go to another skilled nursing within an hour--I declined to sign any paperwork for admission into VPA. My main issues were: 1-STAFF: There was no staff to assist a new admit. After her transport drop off, I found my 90s grandma with a fractured pelvis sitting alone on an unmade bed, staring at a wall. There seemed to be various nurses, etc., but no one looked up/made eye contact with me, even when I'm sure they could hear me addressing my concerns to the creature they've hired to grunt at the front desk. 2-SECURITY: The woman at the front desk grunted for me to sign in at the electronic station and didn't look up. Also, the front doors are broken in that they are very difficult to open and the accessible button to auto-open doesn't work from the inside, and according to staff they've broken for awhile. Functioning doors is just basic for place that houses many people in wheelchairs. 3-BEST PRACTICES/LEGAL PRACTICES: The same woman at the front desk handed me a stack of paperwork on a clipboard and her only instruction was "Sign." A grunt-command is not a legal, informed consent and the paperwork required for skilled nursing is lengthy (medical and legal). I asked who I could speak with about any questions and who would be going over this with us, and she gestured to herself and said, "What question?" I asked to speak to admissions and/or the charge nurse and she gestured again to herself and said, "Sign." The alarm bells were ringing. Meanwhile, I checked in with my grandma and a CNA had set a dish in front of her that she's allergic to. Since there is no admissions process to speak of, they wouldn't know her allergies or literally anything about her. I have no idea if there are things such as sheets, a call button...no idea. Since they put a bib on her for no reason--she can feed herself--I'm assuming they are in possession of other sad textiles somewhere in the dankness. The CNAs were polite, but they are not decision-makers, and when I asked if this was unusual and who I should be talking to about this odd admissions process they were confused. I guess this is just how they treat people. Finally, the front desk creature drifted into the room, grunting for me to sign the admission paperwork. I declined and began the task of finding a different place where my grandma would be safe. CMH pushed back (it was an unpleasant exchange) until I told CMH that I was headed back to the ER with her. Within 5 minutes the case manager's manager called me back and they had found us a bed elsewhere. Interestingly, they warned me that it might be difficult to get the necessary paperwork back from VPA. PRIVACY- They're not concerned with patient privacy so it turned out that her paperwork was just sitting at the check-in desk and I took it. We waited for medical transport, and we left.

    My Mother with dementia was released to this facility with a broken pelvis. I was told they were…read morenot allowed to have bed alarms. I was very concerned she would try to walk without assistance due to the dementia. The care during her stay was adequate but the communication was horrible. My mother did try to get up and walk by herself and fell. I was not notified until an hour after she arrived at vcmc and was told she bumped her head and was taken to chm which she was not. The way I found out was the doctor from the ed called me. I didn't hear from vpa until 2 pm the next day asking if I knew where my mother was. I explained her situation and conditions and I have not heard from them since. I never received any communication regarding her progress and after numerous times trying to meet with the appropriate staff never did. My mother passed away from her injuries. I just want family members to know about their communication and how horrible it was.

    I have aa little more to add to my review. It's too long to add to my old review so I have to post…read morethis. I must not have proofread my post. I apologize for the typos and errors but the situation I had to ordeal still is stated well enough to understand. The situations I endured were not fair. Other problems occurred that I did not detail and when I brought them to the administrator and the director of nursing they didn't appear to follow-up on my concerns. Though the place was cleaner than it had been and most of the nurses and aides were great, there was a large amount that I would honestly say were cold and rude. My roommate had a stroke right after my arrival. I saw delays in response to her needs. It greatly concerns me that a majority of patients there have no voice due to stroke, dementia, etc. Their lack of ability to speak should receive extra care. It appears that is the way they prefer it as if you speak up, they don't follow through and they will not allow you back. I'm better off elsewhere. Note, I didn't receive a response back nor did I get a call to discuss my experience. So I will continue to my recommendation of seeking help elsewhere.
