Vista Knoll Specialized Care sits at 2000 Westwood Rd in Vista, California, right up in North County, where it's known as a modern skilled nursing facility with 119 beds, and you'll find both private and semi-private rooms, many with new flooring, fresh bedspreads, flat screen TVs, and crown molding, so folks settling in usually notice the effort put into comfort and details. The place is part of the PACE program and even has its own PACE Center, which means local seniors can get a wide range of healthcare and support services on-site, and there's a focus on more specialized care, especially for people living with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia; the memory care areas aim to prevent wandering and confusion, helping everyone stay as safe and relaxed as possible.
If you walk around the grounds, you'll see that they're nicely landscaped, and inside, there's a good range of activities and even trips out, so there's always something going on to keep people involved and moving. The therapy setup is a point of pride here-three big dedicated therapy gyms cover outpatient services, plus a special occupational therapy gym, and unusually, the center features the only Alter G anti-gravity treadmill in any San Diego skilled nursing facility, which helps people with walking rehab. This isn't the kind of place where you have to go somewhere else for basic care; skilled nursing, in-house therapy, housekeeping, laundry, and meals all happen here, and the approach to care brings together staff, families, and doctors to plan out what's best for each person, whether someone's here for short-term rehab or needs longer support.
Vista Knoll Specialized Care has been reviewed by families and residents, holding a 4.1 score from 32 reviews online, and maintains a 5-star overall rating from Medicare.gov. As a member of the Vista Chamber of Commerce, this facility stays connected with the wider community. The staff, who focus on hands-on, state-of-the-art therapy, help make sure the care environment stays comfortable, safe, and focused on what matters for each resident, so even with all the clinical services, people usually say the place feels alive and personal, with decent food, clean rooms, a steady stream of things to do, and a real effort to keep up with modern standards in senior care.
