What this means for your family

Mira Vista's therapy department is highly regarded for successful post-surgical recovery, making it a strong candidate for short-term rehab. However, families should be vigilant regarding call-light response times and food quality; we recommend conducting an unannounced visit during a weekend to observe staffing levels firsthand.

Key Review Excerpts

My Dad was treated at Mira Vista for nearly 4 weeks of post-surgical rehab. He has continued to rave about the care and friendliness from the nursing staff, occupational and physical therapy and the cleanliness of the facility.

Rehab patient · 2024☆☆☆☆

My mother waited 7 hours for someone to take her to the bathroom. There were no rails on her bed, it looks like they have jerry rigged every piece of equipment in the room.

This facility has faced repeated challenges with families filing complaint reports about resident protection and care quality, though all deficiencies have been corrected. Emergency preparedness, fire safety systems, and resident protection from abuse are the most recurring problem areas, with emergency preparedness issues appearing across multiple surveys but showing improvement over time. While the facility corrects identified problems, the pattern of complaints and recurring safety system deficiencies warrants careful consideration during visits.
