Tulare Healthcare & Wellness Center is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility located at 680 E Merritt Ave in Tulare, California, and it has 97 certified beds with an average of about 83 residents each day, and the place is managed by Corporate Interface Services LLC since March 2024, and though it's part of the Mission Care Group and privately held with 11-50 employees, the staff gives 3.81 nurse hours per resident per day, but the nurse turnover rate is 60.6%, which is something to keep in mind. The building has had 60 documented deficiencies, including three related to infection, and inspection reports have mentioned problems like environmental deficiencies with fire safety code F0906, along with deficiencies about infection prevention and control under code F0880.
The team delivers 24-hour nursing care and can help with both short-term and long-term needs, and they work together using a collaborative approach, and they try to support residents' physical and emotional well-being by making personalized care plans. Services include skilled nursing, medication and pain management, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, stroke and diabetic care, hospice care, and long-term support, and for those who want more than medical attention, they offer laundry, pastoral, and personal care, with daily activities, recreational, and spiritual programs.
The activities director Amanda is known for being passionate and personable, and she helps arrange events like Mother's Day Tea Time for families and residents, and residents might enjoy a restaurant-style dining option with many menu choices, along with a gazebo, barbershop, and beauty salon available on-site for comfort and convenience. Medical social services are provided, and people living here can take part in daily activities to support engagement and holistic well-being, with a focus on helping build and keep independence wherever possible. The center is open every day from 08:00 to 20:00, though there's no extra information available about certain services, amenities, or the specific care types beyond what's already listed, and it serves elderly residents including those with complex health needs who require nursing, rehabilitation, and medical assistance.
