★★★★Stephen Kang · 2026-07-03 · via Google“Alta Garden Care Center is under new management and has made significant improvements. Most staff are very responsible. They are also training a lot of young interns. My dad is a resident there for two years. The night staff needs some improvement, particularly making sure the residents have enough blankets to keep warm. Also parking is very challenging. I also like the diversity in the staff.”
★★★★★Anthony Giron · 2026-07-21 · via Google“Came into Alta Gardens as a vendor and was really pleased to see how well the staff takes care of the patients and how they address concerns quickly! The facility is well kept and they even offer a free valet service. I’m excited to come back and visit after they complete their full remodel. A little far from my home but definitely the best place in the area by far so worth the drive.”
★★★★★ron kong · 2026-08-06 · via Google“Since Alta Garden Care Center has been under a new management team, there has been a huge difference in patient’s care and especially the staff interactions. It’s so much cleaner and the communication with the staff is so much more responsive to questions and concerns from families and vendors. I have to say this is a great skill nursing facility.”
