No Medicare penalties on record
Valley Vista Post Acute has a strong overall Medicare rating. Public reviewers frequently mention: exceptional physical and speech therapy teams and high-quality wound care services. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Families considering Valley Vista Post Acute will find a facility highly praised for its exceptional physical therapy and wound care teams.

Key Review Excerpts
“The PT team were awesome and LISTENED to what I had to say. Everyone here was super nice and CARING. Very, very CLEAN.”
“The care there was very good, the nurses were attentive, he was kept clean, and his wound care was superb. The most important aspect of the stay for us was the physical therapy.”
“My grandmother sat writhing in pain for over 5 hours after having surgery 2 days before for a severely fractured hip. They have absolutely no compassion and have no business taking care of anyone, especially their night staff.”
