Overview of Alta Vista Gardens
Operated by Alta Vista Gardens, Inc, Alta Vista Gardens is a nursing home located at 829 North Alta Vista Boulevard in Los Angeles. The 70-bed facility serves the West Hollywood area and has been supplying skilled nursing care for the past decade. It provides a smaller, more intimate setting compared to larger regional facilities. The community sits in a car-dependent neighborhood where most daily errands need a vehicle, common for this particular part of Los Angeles.
The home is subject to oversight by California’s Department of Health Care Access and Information, which conducts periodic inspections to ensure quality care standards are met.
For families thinking of choosing Alta Vista Gardens for a loved one, an on-site tour lets you see the facility’s environment and daily operations. Doing so also allows you to meet the care team. When making such a vital care decision, this kind of direct visit is especially valuable.
