Assisted Living Communities in Visalia, CA

"I visited Casa Grande. I liked that this facility didn’t smell and that it was very homey. They did have the locked facility, but you can go anytime; the visiting hours were from 8 to 8, and you are also to take the residents out. They had three levels of care. If you’re a wanderer, they have a big area where you can wander in. They encourage the walking and have a yard that you can take them out to. They have a doctor on staff, but we could use our own doctor if we have one. "

"I always mention Evergreen by name every time I hear friends and relative needing help for their elderly. My personal experience with Evergreen has been absolutely positive. First, the helpers show great compassion and truly care for the patients as if their own relative. Many of these ladies also work for the other fancy assisted living places in Visalia, so their training is just as good if not better. Second, my aunt (was there for over 4 years, but recently passed) was very under nourished from living by herself for so many years. After she moved in to Evergreen, she was back to normal weight, and back to her old self again within a couple of months since the food was incredible. Third, Evergreen passed our very sensitive sniff test since majority of other facilities do have strong urine smell. Evergreen smells and looks clean especially with more remodeling they're doing today. Last but not least, for the amount my aunt was spending compared to other fancy facilities in the area, I was blown away with Evergreen's more down to earth cost for us average folks. Other places will lure you in at a low cost when you first check in, but they'll tack on added cost with their silly point system. For example, if you want peanut butter or they wheel your aunt to the dining room, other places charge extra for this. At Evergreen, they charge you one flat rate, and that's it! We were able to stretch my aunt's savings a lot further. Don't get me wrong, Evergreen is not perfect, but for the care and love plus decent cost they provided my aunt, I wished I had placed her there first because she loved Evergreen. "

"This is a small 24 bed facility, more like a group home. There were residents in their wheelchairs seated in front of a TV mostly sleeping. My guide told me they decide what to watch, but I don't think most grandma's want to spend Sunday watching football. There were no odors and the temperature was warm. I really liked that the doors to each room had a picture of the resident for a personal touch. The back patio was filled with leaves and there was a ladder and a water hose lying on the sidewalk just outside of the dining room. My guide took time to explain to me how securely the medications are monitored. The kitchen was very clean and the menu look ok, not quite as fresh as I'd want my loved one to have, but I'm sure it was fine. What I really liked is that they have regular wine and cheese tastings and tea parties as well as bingo games. I would recommend this facility for my grandma. "

Dignity Senior Living Home began taking form in the Spring of 2022 after a discussion between David Shipman (President) and Emily Leong (Administer) about the conditions and costs associated with the industry of senior living services.

"This facility was very upscale and the staff was very friendly. The rooms were clean and you could tell the staff knew what they were talking about. "

"Ferguson Home wasn't very nice or up to our standards. It was kind of run-down, and the people running the place were older. The staff who gave me the tour was great, he was nice and very helpful. It's just that they're elderly as well, so it's like an elderly person taking care of another elderly. We saw the dining area which was a little small. My husband saw the rooms during our tour, and he said there were two mattresses side by side. So it was a shared room and not a private room."

"This is a privately owned board and care facility for low income residents located in a converted, older two story residence near downtown. The staff uses the second story while residents live downstairs. The rooms are small and without bathrooms; some rooms had vinyl tiles missing. Residents were being fed lunch which was canned food; no dining room, just TV trays or small tables. I didn't see activities posted; just a old small TV in the living room where one resident was watching. I didn't detect any obnoxious odors, but the residents didn't look well groomed. If you have no other options, it's better than being on the street, but sad. "

"This is a privately owned assisted living facility for low income residents who are on Medical assistance or in some cases, abandoned by their family and under the assistance of the county or adult protective services. The facility is currently undergoing some flooring replacement, but the whole facility could use a facelift. There was some odor, but nothing obnoxious. They care for some residents that aren't seniors, but are in need of assistance. I was told that they try to serve fresh food, but what I saw looked canned. The rooms had some of the resident's belongings on the floor in bags. There is room to move about outdoors, but the grounds are only a grassy area surrounded by a chain link fence. One of the patient rooms was so hot, they had to leave the door open, while the TV room was very cold and the TV reception was blurry. "

"My mom has already been moved into Valley Christian Home. So far, they are doing a really good job. It is local and within a few miles from where we are, and it has gotten good reviews from everybody that we talked to. So far, the food has been very good. As for their level of care, it has been very good as well. It is always clean and very well-kept up. They have games that they could play, and there are nights for them to get together; they’ve got a ton of activities there. She has been there a few weeks, and, so far, it is going rather well."

"I visited Palm Village in Reedly. The rooms were very nice and very clean. They're great for a permanent situation but that's not what I need. I just need somebody to stay with my mom when I needed to be gone. "

"We visited Sierra Homes. There was this one lady who was very helpful, nice, and took us around to the apartments. It was a very nice facility. The one apartment we saw was very nice for independent living. "

"My Grandmother has Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and is no longer able to care for herself. We tried in home nursing, but the costs were just too great. We selected Autumn Oaks and have been pleased with the facility. The nursing staff and doctors are top-notch and beyond caring for the needs of my Grandmother. The rooms are spacious and well lit, clean and inviting. The nurses are there to see to her every need. The food is wholesome and quite tasty. The visiting hours were generous and allowed myself and my family adequate time to spend with my Grandmother in her last years. The staff are availiable any time day or night to anwswer and questions and address any concerns that we have in regards to the comfort and care of my Grandmother. The modern, clean facility and professional, knowledeable and courteous staff are a welcome comfort. I am confident and anyone staying at Autumn Oaks will get nothing but the best care. "

"I was very impressed with Haleys Home Care. It's a very nice place and I'm hoping to get my sister in there. She's not looking for a big place. She wants a smaller place, which is what Haleys House is. The girl I talked to was very nice. The place was really clean. She said she serves three meals a day, so it's just an all-together good place. She mentioned several things that she lets them do on different days depending on what day it is. They play bingo and things like that."

"My mom is at the skilled nursing area of Bethel Lutheran Home, and I have been very happy with them. I like that they spoke Spanish since my mom does not speak English. They are very kind and they assist my mom in whatever she needs. They are very positive too. The social worker and the people up in the front office are very helpful. It is very professional and clean. I was shocked that the food is very good. They are also very attentive, and they help her eat. They will cut up her food for her because she lost one of her dentures. They do not just set the food there and forget about her. It is an old facility, but it is clean and does not smell. It is a good place for her."
