Independent Living Communities in Visalia, CA

"I toured Walnut Park, and she's still in contact with me, checking on my mom, which is so sweet of her. It was lovely. I wouldn't mind living out there myself. The food looked great. The rooms were lovely, with private rooms and bathrooms. It's all enclosed, so you're safe, but it's open and airy. It's like a big, huge patio, and they have garden plots for the people if they want a garden, as well as ice cream socials out there. It was lovely and huge, but they were too expensive."

"We put my father into Quail Park on Cypress. Overall, it's a wonderful facility. It fits his needs in that they provide all the meals. From his viewpoint, the food is excellent. Their housekeeping does a great job. There are a lot of social activities. They provide some transportation also. We've thus far been very happy. They got so much over there. They've got a library, a mini movie theater, several different meeting rooms, a fitness center, and a very nice dining area. They have an RN nurse on staff there, so that's pretty neat. They have a linen service, which is part of housekeeping. They've got washers and dryers for personal clothes. There are spaces for indoor and outdoor for seating, and they have a good-sized parking lot, too. Their outdoor is kind of a patio more or less. They have seating in front of the facility and in the middle part. It's like a hub. There's like three sides and it comes together, and that hub is where all the stuff is situated."

"This beautiful, new facility is like a 5-star hotel. The Caregivers & Med Techs, Life Engagement Director, and ALL the staff in Memory Care have been wonderful with my dad. I have peace of mind knowing he's in such caring, kind, gentle, capable hands. They help him brush his teeth & get dressed each morning, then take him to the beautiful dining room for breakfast, then it’s fantastic activities every 30-60 minutes for the rest of the day, like painting, brain games, karaoke, group exercise, trivia, or watching performers that come in for dancing, singing & cultural events. It's so important that our loved ones have social involvement and Quail MC provides all of this for their residents. I could never provide my dad with the activities and the type of skilled care he receives at Quail MC, not to mention the patience required for all of these daily life skills & activities. I'm eternally grateful to the entire Memory Care Staff at Quail Park at Shannon Ranch for giving my sweet dad the very best quality of life possible."

"We decided on The Remington. Our tour was very good. We like its location. The upkeep is excellent. The visuals are excellent. It seems to have everything we need. They have dining, a physical fitness center, and a library. The staff are all very friendly. The food is all very planned out, but the menu is not always to our taste."

"We got a place for my dad at Sierra Hills. We put a security deposit down. It's recently renovated and clean. They've got very helpful and friendly staff. It's a well-appointed place. I can't complain about anything that I experienced. It's very well kept up. The grounds were very nice. The community rooms were very well taken care of."

"This is an older multi-story senior housing facility operated by non-profit organization with rates based on a sliding scale for independent living. The apartments are very clean but gently used with a balcony. The location is great, next to the public library and downtown Visalia so it's close to shopping. A big plus is that it's located near the Senior Citizens Center for easy access to meals and resources. The dining room is used for activities and snacks/coffee; the kitchen was closed due to personnel expenses. There are activities planned, like the Xmas tree decorating party, a small media room, and library. Small pets are allowed, another plus. The grounds are nice, but small with a couple of benches for sitting and some nice orange trees. Only downside is the traffic, but the facility is completed gated so its secure. "
