Vista Manor Nursing Center sits in San Jose and takes care of adults who need nursing home support over a long period or after an illness or accident, and it's a place that focuses on specialized services, so you've got 24-hour skilled nursing, rehabilitation therapy-like physical, occupational, and speech therapy-right there in the building, and residents see the same therapists and nursing staff daily, which helps with consistency. The nursing center has 99 certified beds, usually about 86 residents each day, and offers electric beds, flat-screen TVs with cable, in-room telephones, and personal laundry, plus things like a patio, resident dining room, and an in-house salon and barber so folks can keep up with haircuts or get their hair done whenever they want, and for spiritual needs, they arrange religious services and chaplain programs. Vista Manor's got doctors, dentists, podiatrists, and vision specialists who visit the facility, and they've got on-site laboratory and X-ray services for residents, so people don't have to go out as much.
The center offers memory care, assisted living, mental health rehab, behavioral beds, and specialized services for things like substance recovery, stroke recovery, back strains, Parkinson's disease, arthritis, and tendonitis, and they use a therapy center overseen by a rehabilitation director who works with a team of trained, certified therapists. There's also intravenous therapy, a pharmacy consultant, a wound program, an American Heart Association certified program, and a physiatry program for complex care, and family members can join care conferences and get support and communication services so they know what's going on. Vista Manor provides guest meals for visitors and has transportation services for getting to appointments or outings, and since a lot of residents and their families speak different languages, the center has 24/7 phone interpretation in languages like Cantonese, Mandarin, Hindi, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and more, so families and residents can always understand what's being said.
Residents take part in activities and recreational therapy programs to keep days interesting and help with social needs, and there are set routines for physical wellness, mental health, and therapy. The nurse turnover rate is about 36.4%, which is less than the California state average, though the direct nurse staffing hours are at 4.20 per resident per day, which runs a bit lower than the state average. Families should know about inspection reports-Vista Manor's been cited for 23 deficiencies, including three infection-related ones and others about equipment safety, infection control, and food handling, so those are areas the facility still works on, and their most recent inspection was in October 2024. It's owned and managed by Generations Healthcare, with Life Generations Healthcare, LLC as the main owner since August 2019, and direct ownership by Lois Mastrocola and Thomas Olds, with an indirect stake held by Fred Smith at 13%. Administrative leadership has changed, with Lois Mastrocola managing since September 2023.
Vista Manor helps different types of insurance, including Medicare, HMO, and private insurance. Patients and families also see quality rankings and survey data, including patient experience ratings and hospital-grade infection and accident reporting like surgical blood clots, MRSA Staph infections, accidental cuts, and C. diff infections, so people have information about safety and satisfaction. Vista Manor runs as a licensed, Medicare-certified nursing center with a focus on extended care and specialized clinical performance metrics, and people can expect a mix of clinical support, behavioral health, and day-to-day assistance all in one place.
