Reo Vista Healthcare Center ratings and staffing
Reo Vista Healthcare Center is located at 6061 Banbury St. in San Diego, San Diego County. It is a for-profit facility operated by Lilac Holdings, LLC, part of Pacs Group, with 162 certified beds and an average of 150.6 residents a day. It accepts Medicare and Medicaid.
CMS rates every certified nursing home in three separate categories, and the overall star is a blend of them:
- Health inspections, based on what state surveyors observe in person during unannounced visits. Weight this one most heavily, because it does not rely on data the facility reports about itself.
- Staffing, drawn from payroll-based records of how much nursing time each resident actually receives.
- Quality measures, built largely from data the facility submits. Read a high score here with more caution than the other two.
For Reo Vista Healthcare Center, those scores are: health inspections 2 of 5, staffing 2 of 5, quality measures 5 of 5.
Staffing. Reo Vista Healthcare Center reports 3.96 total nursing hours per resident per day, of which 0.46 are registered nurse hours. Over the reporting year, 42.6% of the nursing staff left. Registered nurses supervise aides, catch medication errors before they reach a resident, and notice when a person's condition is changing. Staffing is the single number that most reliably predicts whether a facility catches a problem early or lets it become a crisis.
How this home compares in the public record
CMS publishes each home's star rating and its payroll-based staffing hours, and it publishes the federal fines it has imposed. The county and California figures beside each number are the averages across those same published records.
These figures are taken from public CMS Care Compare records as of August 2026 (the August 2026 release) and public CDPH records as of June 2024 (the state enforcement dataset of August 27, 2024). They are reported as published and are not a recommendation, endorsement or assessment of any facility by this firm. How these figures were assembled.

California state citations
California inspects and cites nursing homes separately from the federal government. The Department of Public Health issues three classes of citation. A class AA citation is a class A violation that the Department of Public Health determined was a direct proximate cause of a resident's death. A class A citation is a violation the Department determined presented an imminent danger of death or serious harm to residents, or a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm would result. A class B citation is a violation the Department determined had a direct or immediate relationship to residents' health, safety or security, other than a class AA or A violation.
State records show 5 citations against Reo Vista Healthcare Center between August 9, 2006 and November 15, 2023: 5 class B, with $16,400 in assessed penalties. 1 of these actions were connected to a resident's death.
- November 15, 2023, class B, Patient Care. $9,000 penalty.
- June 27, 2023, class B, Patient Care. $3,000 penalty.
- October 7, 2019, class B, Abuse/Facility Not Self Reported. $2,000 penalty.
- February 21, 2019, class B, Patient Care. $2,000 penalty. Death-related.
- August 9, 2006, class B, Patient Rights. $400 penalty. Appealed.
Across San Diego County's 83 certified facilities, the average is about 4.8 state citations per facility. Reo Vista Healthcare Center's 5 is close to that average.
A citation marked "Appealed." is under appeal, so it is not a final determination. A citation records a determination by state surveyors. A citation does not by itself establish that any particular resident was injured or that the facility is liable to anyone.

What to do if you are worried about care at this facility
You will usually notice something is wrong before anyone official does, and you do not need proof before you act. If you are concerned about care at Reo Vista Healthcare Center, you can take these steps:
Write down what you see. Note dates, times, and specific concerns, and photograph anything relevant. A clear, contemporaneous record matters if an investigation follows.
File a complaint with the California Department of Public Health. CDPH licenses and inspects skilled nursing facilities and investigates complaints, and a serious complaint can trigger an on-site inspection. You can file online through CDPH's Cal Health Find system, which routes your complaint to the San Diego County licensing district office.
Contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. The ombudsman is a free advocate who will visit your loved one, look into your concerns, and press the facility on their behalf. San Diego County's ombudsman program can be reached at (800) 640-4661. This is often the fastest first step when the issue is care quality rather than an emergency.

We came to this work from the other side. We spent years defending nursing homes, which means we know how a facility builds a file to protect itself and where the gaps in that file tend to be. Under California's Elder Abuse Act (Welfare and Institutions Code sections 15600 to 15675), a family that proves, by clear and convincing evidence, that neglect was committed with recklessness, oppression, fraud or malice can recover remedies beyond an ordinary injury claim, including attorney's fees (section 15657).
