    Toured facility. Staff were very nice. P.T. room was very well organized for loved one to complete rehab before returning home. I suggest if you are looking for a loved one to go to rehab after the hospital you should tour orchards at Tulare before making your decision.

    The lady who answered the doer was very patient with me as I signed in and showed me right where my friend was. The facility was very clean. My friend spoke very highly of her nurses. Thank you for the care and kindness given to my friend!!!

The Nursing director, Liz [Redacted], doesn't…

    The Care, that my mom receives at Orchards of Tulare is comforting to us. If anything is going on with her health or her care they contact us right away and we appreciate that. My sister & I are unable to care for our mom and we’re very thankful for the CNAs and nurses there that do this because it takes a group of very special people to care for someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s.
