Lindsay Gardens Nursing & Rehabilitation sits in a modest building with 99 certified beds and usually sees about 90 residents each day, and the staff includes nurses who work an average of 3.91 hours for each resident per day, which is below the state average, but the nurse turnover rate, sitting at 29%, stays lower than the state's typical 40%. It's a for-profit facility owned by Providence Group of California LLC and affiliated with Pacs Group, and Riley Bennett's been managing the place since August 2023, making sure things run as they should. Over the last 36 months, there have been 26 deficiencies in inspection reports, including 3 tied to infection control, and the reports show issues in areas like resident assessment and care planning and pharmacy services, but these have caused no actual harm so far, only the potential for more than minimal harm, which the staff tries hard to address by focusing on professional standards.
Residents at Lindsay Gardens receive skilled nursing care day and night, and short-term rehabilitation programs aim to help folks recover after an illness or surgery, with a big rehab gym where therapists and aides work with patients on their recovery, like helping stroke patients stand or transfer from bed to chair. Folks with memory problems, including Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, have a spot here too, with a focus on making individualized care plans that adjust as needs change. You'll see staff who take pride in calling residents by name and offering help when needed, and nurse aides like Sylvia have a reputation for being attentive and patient. The place has a 4-star Medicare rating for quality, and the team includes licensed experts who can answer questions about care or admissions around the clock, and the business office keeps regular hours six days a week.
The environment feels homey and warm, with recent renovations brightening up common areas and landscaped outdoor spaces where families can spend time together. Residents get a choice of meals, daily living help with things like bathing and medications, and there's a steady schedule of social, educational, and entertainment activities, all designed to keep people active and connected. The staff puts an emphasis on dignity and independence, and the administrators tend to treat everyone with compassion and understanding. There's online bill pay for convenience and a front desk open every day except Sunday. While the facility's record isn't spotless, with some past deficiencies mostly connected to infection, care planning, or pharmacy matters, most people here describe Lindsay Gardens as a place where attention to individual needs, patient safety, and day-to-day comfort matter most.
