Inspection Report Summary for Alta Vista Senior Living
Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating generally good compliance with regulations. The most recent report from October 1, 2025, cited deficiencies related to incomplete staff records, missing CPR certifications, and personnel record maintenance, resulting in an immediate civil penalty due to repeated violations. Earlier reports from October 2024 also noted issues with CPR-certified staff on each shift, emergency drills, liability insurance, and facility maintenance concerns such as a malfunctioning elevator and safety risks from broken gates. The facility addressed some safety issues promptly, but staffing documentation and training remain areas needing improvement. Overall, while many complaint investigations found no problems, the facility has recurring deficiencies in staff certification and recordkeeping that have led to enforcement actions.
