Alta Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits in Reno, Nevada, and holds a license for 180 beds, which makes it one of the bigger nursing homes around Northern Nevada, and most days about 153 people live there, with many coming through needing help with medical cases that require a skilled touch, like after a hospital stay or if there's a complicated ongoing health concern, so it offers both short-term rehab and long-term care, while also taking Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance, though a doctor's referral and proof of skilled nursing or rehab need is required for new admissions, and the main hours run from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The building's physical look gets described by visitors as high quality and lodge-like, with a fireplace and touches like a newly renovated dining room, an updated break room for staff, and a new library for residents and their families. The staff includes nurses, CNAs, two MDS Coordinators, a Medical Records Director, and a Marketing Assistant, while management has been under Revive Health Senior Care Management LLC since February 2019, and Zachary Gray owns the place directly. Alta is part of a network with Alpine and Wingfield centers.
Services at Alta Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center include skilled nursing care, a range of rehabilitation and therapy programs, mental health and behavioral health care, help with dietary needs, activities for daily engagement, and post-discharge planning for when it's time to go home. The center has a focus on the Medicaid population, with special attention to high acuity medical cases, and they say there's some technology that's ahead of the curve for this type of care. The nurse turnover rate is 46.9%, which runs slightly better than the average for the state, but the registered nurse staffing sits at about 3.20 hours per resident each day, which is under the state average of 4.3 hours.
Inspection records show 87 deficiencies, which is above what most nursing homes report, including five involving how well staff protects residents from infections, one from February 2025 tied to a specific complaint, and some recent ones about keeping areas safe from accidents and making sure medicines get stored and labeled the right way-surveyors didn't find actual harm from these, but did see potential for harm that could be more than minor. Federal records list Alta as a Special Focus Facility Candidate, meaning there's a pattern of serious care issues, but the place isn't flagged for extra oversight at this time. According to the federal CMS rating, Alta holds a five-star quality rating, but recent records do reflect areas for improvement, especially concerning standards for infection control and accident prevention. Amenities available to residents include exercise programs, therapeutic recreation, life enrichment activities, and help with mental health needs. The place runs as a for-profit limited liability company, has operated under its current management and ownership since 2019, and maintains a website for more details.
