Continuing Care Community in Visalia, California

TG

We were greeted very nicely at Walnut Park. The staff was wonderful and very informative. It felt very warm and welcoming. What turned me off was that we're coming in as a couple, and the only room that we looked at was very tiny. It did not have kitchen facilities with it or anything like that, and that was the only one they had that was empty. The people seemed really happy. They were all down in that main hall, and it was very crowded. The staff talked about a lot of activities and things that they do and have. The residents were so nice. I know people that have been there and loved it. The facility seemed very nice, but it didn't seem spacious when you walk in because all of those people were roaming around down the hall.

Magnolia Park was very nice, but it felt more like a nursing home as opposed to assisted living. It did not feel as nice. The rooms were all double with a roommate and no private bathrooms. The staff was friendly.

Dad moved into Prestige Assisted Living. The staff is very welcoming, caring, quite attentive to his needs, and willing to adjust things to meet his needs. The physical setting is really nice, and the food is good. He feels very well taken care of there.

My mom moved into Magnolia Park, and they've been awesome. The staff is caring, very patient, and takes good care of my mom. They really care about the residents and put their needs above everything. The people who run it, Arnold and Esperanza, are very caring, and you can see the compassion that they have for the residents. It's a bit more costly, but you get what you pay for: peace of mind and knowing that your love one is cared for and safe.

We went to Park Visalia Assisted Living, but it was more independent. Since it was so open and big, we did not feel that homey feeling. However, the executive director was very nice. A couple of residents were outside sitting in their wheelchairs and talking. I think the facility is a little outdated.
