Linwood Meadows Care Center

This place is a well run wound facility!
I was transferred from the hospital for some serious foot care. I suffer from a wide range of old injuries and these people provided me my pain medications which are scheduled on a four hour schedule on a timely basis.
The food I was provided was surprisingly good quality.
I would recommend Linwood as a wound recovery especially to anyone with diabetic situations!
My only complaint, the beds are not very comfortable, but I was able to sleep and rest despite the bumps and lumps!

Posting on behalf of a residents family member.

My mother Marilyn, has been a resident of Linwood Meadows in Visalia since July 2022.

The following teams: maintenance, business-financial, laundry, physical therapists, reception area, human resources, janitorial, dining, and the activities groups are above, and beyond what you would expect to find in a skilled nursing facility.

There is another group that we appreciate. (RNA-not sure what the initials mean), they do everything from assisting with meals, exercising and working closely with residents. The very hard working nursing teams, no matter what hall we are on, greet us with a smile. The LVN’s and CNA’s have become extended family to Mother, helping her with daily medications, clothes changes, bathing etc. We’ve met so many great people (residents and staff) and are appreciative of the care and kindness Mother receives. She is happy, but her moods change often due to her dementia.

At 2: 00 daily, all residents meet in the Dining Hall for a well planned out activity. The activities team assists with Bingo, art projects, movies and popcorn, etc. Mother may be wheeled in feeling kind of blue, but when she exits, there is a smile on her face.

Thank you everyone!

I feel compelled to share my incredibly positive experience with Linwood Meadows, where my beloved family member has been receiving exceptional care. From the moment we stepped foot into the facility, we knew we had made the right choice for their long-term care needs.

The facility itself is meticulously maintained, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The layout is thoughtfully designed, providing a comfortable and safe environment for the residents. It's evident that the management team has put a great deal of effort into creating a space that promotes healing, well-being, and a sense of community.

The staff at Linwood Meadows truly goes above and beyond to ensure the highest level of care and compassion for each resident. From the nurses and caregivers to the support staff and administration, every individual we encountered was dedicated, professional, and genuinely concerned for the well-being of their patients.

The nursing staff demonstrates an incredible level of expertise and skill. They are not only highly trained, but they also possess a remarkable ability to connect with the residents on a personal level. They take the time to understand each individual's unique needs, tailoring their care plans accordingly. Their attentiveness and responsiveness to medical concerns, medication management, and rehabilitation needs are exemplary.

Moreover, the caregivers exhibit an unparalleled level of kindness and empathy. They consistently treat residents with respect and dignity, fostering an atmosphere of trust and companionship. It's evident that they truly love what they do and have a genuine passion for making a positive impact on the lives of those they care for.

I would like to show my appreciation and gratitude to everyone at Linwood Meadows. My Aunt is very particular of her environment and meeting new people. Our first steps inside we were greeted by warm professional staff that took their time to make my Aunt comfortable and explain in detail what she could expect her days to be filled with. Therapy sessions were amazing and so helpful. Everyday they made her feel like a superhero. They accommodated her picky eating habits with substitutions that made her feel great. My Aunt cried happily when she was being discharged because she was going to miss not just staff from a care facility but friends that helped her get her life back. My Aunt and myself will never forget the special attention that they gave her and all there patients.

I am the Marketing Director for Linwood Meadows Care Center. Our facility is one of few skilled nursing facilities in the city of Visalia, accepting patients from Kaweah Health Medical Center, as well as Tulare, Hanford and Fresno hospitals. While our facility specializes in short-term physical therapy and rehab, several of our long-term residents call Linwood home.

Speaking from an insider perspective, our care center is made up of dedicated staff that work to make this facility a home. Round the clock nursing care, physical therapy, housekeeping, dining and activities make for an enriching experience for each one of our residents.

I have attended several activities with our residents including bingo, crafts, movies, painting and karaoke. They look forward to our afternoon activity everyday. Our common room contains a library of books, games and a morning coffee social. As the COVID pandemic comes to an end, we are making the effort to be as welcoming as possible to visitors such as family, friends, kids and pets! We currently accommodate birthdays, family gatherings and family photos. We will be stocking up on toys, treats, books, games and puzzles as as we anticipate the influx of family visits.

Linwood Meadows truly stands out with its unwavering commitment to personalized care. Each resident is treated with utmost respect, dignity, and individuality, as cherished members of the family. The staff's dedication and genuine interest in the well-being of each person create a nurturing environment where empathy and kindness flow naturally.

My sister in law was there for over a year. I'm her medical and hippa power of attorney. Nothing they said they had done (covid shots pneumonia etc psychological meds) had actually been done. She has alzheimer's and can be violent and has been transferred to another facility. She's already attacked a nurse which wouldn't have happened if linwood meadows had actually gotten her the medication and help they told me they had done. Just because a place is expensive and looks nice doesn't mean a thing. If you have family here make sure they're actually doing what they say do not take their word for it

Since the moment we arrived to the time my family member was discharged all the staff at Linwood Meadows were amazing people. Administration staff we're amazing and very helpful. The medical staff we're just over the top amazing people and and I'm very grateful for the care they provided to my loved one. He enjoyed therapy, the Therapy staff pushed him when he needed it, but overall they made it fun and enjoyable for him to get better and a very special Thanks to the kitchen and cleaning crew. Truly recommend Linwood Meadows.
