Overview of Aqua Ridge of Montclair

A skilled nursing home in Montclair, California, Aqua Ridge of Montclair caters to residents needing post-acute rehabilitation and long-term nursing care. Operated by Alta Vista Health Care Inc and Chendu Holding LLC, the facility is owned by Chestnut Ridge Post Acute and welcomes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, providing families with multiple coverage routes. Administered by Monique Del Junco, the home has 150 beds and has been operating for 4 years, indicating a newer facility centered on delivering modern post-acute care.

The average stay duration is 102 days, signalling a mixed population of patients in rehabilitation recovery and those requiring longer-term care. Clinical support is a main component of daily life. Total nursing care averages around 4 hours and 4 minutes per resident day, with nurse aide support adding about 3 hours and 41 minutes, ensuring consistent hands-on assistance throughout each shift. Situated at 9631 Monte Vista Avenue in Montclair, the community sits in a moderately walkable neighborhood (Walk Score 58), where some errands can be accomplished on foot, with most daily activities requiring a short drive. For visiting family, the area is easy to navigate. Daily care includes 24-hour staffing and a full range of support services: housekeeping, assistance with bathing and dressing, and on-site beauty and barber services. Dining is a focal point of the community, with chef-prepared meals designed around dietician-approved menus and served in an intimate setting. The home also operates Cascade Falls Cafe, a full bistro and coffee bar where residents can drink beverages and light fare at their own pace. This flexibility can be purposeful for residents who want familiar comfort or prefer to dine informally. The community has a full activities calendar and programming to help with rehabilitation goals and daily engagement.

When evaluating a nursing home in Montclair, a tour in person can give you an actual sense of how the clinical environment and day-to-day life work together.

Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Total nursing care / resident

4h 4m per day

vs avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	22m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	1h 10m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 35m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 41m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	3m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	16m per day
