Sequoia Transitional Care sits in Porterville, California, and provides specialized skilled nursing care for people who need help after a hospital stay or for longer ongoing care, and you'll find the doors open all day and night because they're open 24/7, which means you can visit any time, and that can ease your mind if you worry about timing. The place holds 97 beds, with both private and shared rooms, and every private room's got its own bathroom, so if you'd rather have more privacy you could ask for one of those. The whole building was recently remodeled, and they say it's got the largest therapy rehabilitation gym in the region, with a kitchen and bath inside the gym so therapists can help people practice daily tasks they need at home, which helps folks feel confident again. You've got plenty of common spaces-there's an outdoor courtyard and secure garden so people can get fresh air; the inside has a roomy family lounge where folks play games, gather for visits, or watch TV on a big flat screen, and those spacers help residents be social if they like. Everyone gets free WiFi and in-room dining uses new ways so meals stay hot and you don't have to go to a cafeteria if you don't want to.
Services cover skilled nursing, therapy after surgery, medication management, and they've got physical, occupational, and speech therapy with a team that works with you to come up with an individual plan, which can help if you need things personalized rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. There's also short-term therapy if you're looking to get well after an illness, and they offer both long-term care for those who need it and shorter respite care or hospice. If you're worried about costs, you'd find they accept both Medicaid and Medicare, and their team has nursing and other healthcare workers there round the clock. Names on staff include Nicole Bowden, Regina Maddox, Erika , and Jacklyn Acob, who work together to handle daily needs. Recreation helps pass the days, with activities and places to gather, and the facility gets rated by CMS, so you can look up the rating if that's important for your peace of mind. You'll see their mission written as "We Make People Better," and they stick to providing updated therapy and healthcare with their own trained staff, aiming for quality care. Services focus on helping people regain their strength, deal with recovery, or settle in for longer stays, with amenities built around those needs, and if you want to learn more, you can look at their website at sequoiatc.com.
