Nursing Home Communities in Tulare, CA

"My brother was at Linwood Meadows Care Center. They did a wonderful job bringing him back because he was in bad shape then. He had physical and occupational therapy. They did a wonderful job for him there. They took really good care of him. They kept his hearing aid. They took them to him and put them in for him. They assisted him with his bathing and bathroom because he was more critically ill at that time. He had physical therapy every day, and he liked it. They were wonderful with him, and he really liked those people a lot. They had a lot of activities, but most of the patients there were quite critical. My brother has had two strokes and he was one of the better ones. They had a coffee room and they put the TV on. They had singers that came and performed for them. The place was adequate but it was an older building."

"My grandma was here and she did great. Rehab was successful. Nice clean facility. Friendly staff. "

"Excellent nursing care. All the staff there is very polite and quick to answer the call lights. They show how much they care about the residents and the CNAs go above and beyond to their job and make sure every resident has the best care. "

"Lindsay Gardens is always has a warm, friendly atmosphere. The staff is very helpful in guideling families in some of the difficult decision of placing a loved while maintaining a professional compassionate atmosphere. The staff goes above and beyond everyday. The facility is always clean and odor free. Food service is tasty. Thank you for your dedication and commitment you give to the residents everyday. "

"Hacienda Rehabilitation is spectacular and really nice. Everybody's friendly and helpful. The place is clean, and when you walk in, it doesn't have a smell. My dad's not too active, but they have people that come in and do music, sing, and bring in entertainment. There are also different religious services."

"My husband stayed at Kings Nursing & Rehabilitation Center for about two months. They took care of him. I have no complaints. The staff members were very nice. My husband said the food was okay. The facility was clean. It was nice for a nursing home."

"I am thankful for Geremyah. He has been so great with helping me with what I need. He is the best CNA, he is my hero. Thank you Geremyah."

"The floor plan for this facility is one of the most efficient I've seen; separating public and private areas; great for security and patient privacy. The main entrance is a separate section of the building that houses a pleasant lobby with a piano that leads into a large hallway that houses the business offices, physical therapy rooms, and dining room. They also offer an ice cream parlor and beauty salon. This hallway leads into the nurses' station that is flanked by three pods of patient rooms. The rooms are semi-private, clean, and plenty of light. Patients were either napping or sitting in their wheelchairs. I didn't detect any odors. "

"This is an older facility that is part of a family owned and managed organization with three other locations. I found it disconcerting that I was given permission to roam about without a guide being that I was a stranger. They were hosting a concert in the dining room for patients and family. I detected some mild urine odors in the hallways. The rooms are semi-private and dark. It was mid-afternoon when I visited, so many of the patients were napping. The posted menu was standard fare you'd find in a hospital. This is an ok facility that deals with mostly Medical patients. "

"The nurses, CNAs, dieticians, and therapists did an unbelievable job of taking care or our mom in her final months. They are extraordinary people doing an extraordinary job! The staff is fully engaged from diet to rehabilitation to overall care. i don't have a single complaint. "

"My mom moved into Gateway Post Acute. They are doing well, considering the circumstances with my mom. Right now, she's in the short term, which is probably going into the long term. They keep us informed on everything that goes on. Sometimes the food is really good, and other times it's horrible. I've been there several times when my mom was eating. My mom has therapy every day. They offer some Bible study classes. They give you a calendar, and each week they have different activities that the clients can go to if they want. Medicare pays for it. My mom's room is clean and small. This facility does not have the smell that some of them do. There's no odor there when you walk in. We were impressed with that."

"My mom is currently at Kingsburg Care Center. We've been very impressed with it. It doesn't smell bad. We thought we would have trouble getting her in but she is enjoying it. She has some memory issues and they seem to deal with them very well. We are very pleased. She's clean, she's fed, and she's happy. She likes the food and she is putting on weight. The staff has been good. We had a little bit of a hard time starting, just because they wanted us to sign responsibility for her and they were pretty persistent about it, but we didn't want to do that."

"Our experience touring Palm Village Retirement Community was very good and very nice. I thought it was very well kept and very well organized for memory care. I thought it was great. The rooms were very nice. High-quality upgrades. Good furniture. Everything was nice. The room was more of a studio set-up like a hotel room. They have both skilled nursing and memory care areas, and they also have memory care in the skilled nursing, which is a combination that's hard to find. I saw their rooms, the eating area, and the outdoor garden."

"This is a for-profit assisted living and skilled nursing facility that is one of 8 facilities owned and operated by this corporation. It is located in an older building (the outside is a little dated), but the inside is clean and appears to have been refurbished at some point. They proudly display their 5 Star Rating from Medicare in their lobby. All of the facilities owned by this corporation that I've visited are clean and appear to be well managed. Some residents were sitting in wheelchairs in the hallways near the nurse's station. The menus posted were typical fare and varied. The temperature was comfortable and I didn't detect any odors. The only negative was that I had to search for someone to give me a tour. "
