Very impressive facility , that is completely dedicated to patient care and well being. The moment you walk in the door you can see a difference. Staff is happy, patients are engaged and it’s clean and odorless. There always seems to be staff everywhere. And therapy, their hands on approach and encouragement are hands down the best in Porterville. I’ve seen patients come in incoherent and walk out the door dancing. From the moment I walked in the door I knew this place was different. This place is a success story for so many people. Lucky to have this facility in Porterville.

My mother in law is currently a resident here and my husband and I are very happy with the care she receives. She feels safe and cared for. We are so grateful for all the staff at Sequoia Transitional.

I have taken a couple months to write this as I don’t like leaving bad reviews BUT I want to save other people. My dad stayed at this facility for rehabilitation, and the experience was far worse than I ever could have imagined. I feel obligated to warn other families. On multiple occasions, my dad called me in severe pain. This guy had a heart attack and told me his pain was at a 4 so I knew it was bad.When I arrived, his foot was so infected it was making him vomit. Staff repeatedly dismissed it as “constipation,” rolled their eyes when I asked for him to be sent to the ER, and showed no urgency despite obvious signs of infection. When he was sent to the ER, he would return missing personal items — including his wheelchair and even cash. Despite the fact that he is not supposed to walk on his diabetic wounds, no one treated the missing wheelchair as urgent. Several times I found that his wound care had not been done at all. A supervisor confirmed that the LVN had charted it as completed, but the bandage date was three days old. This wasn’t a one-time mistake — it was a pattern. The facility also dropped his third‑party insurance without notifying us, which created even more unnecessary stress. There were days he didn’t receive full meals, and when I brought this up, the head RN made me feel like I was imagining things or that my dad was lying. Instead of addressing concerns, they dismissed them. Towards the end of his stay I was told he would be temporarily switching rooms for some painting. I went to visit again and he was put into a make shift room in the back with two other clients and no T.V. When I asked how long the renovation would last and when he would be in his old room they informed me the transfer was permanent. To make matters worse, the administrator told me my dad was “cleared by a doctor” and that his wounds were “all healed.” When I brought him home, he still had two large diabetic wounds on the bottom of his foot. Nothing about that was “healed.” I didn’t realize how unacceptable this place was until he transferred to another skilled nursing facility. The difference has been night and day — attentive staff, clean environment, actual communication, and genuine care. My dad is finally safe and supported. I would never recommend this facility to anyone. Please think twice before sending someone you love. Here is a photo of the day I brought him home when he was “healed”.

It’s great that a facility like this exist! Clean and friendly facility with amazing staff. There are private rooms, semi private and even the three bed room are spacious Great nurses and approachable staff makes for a speedy recovery. They specialize in wound care, respiratory and rehabilitation. The therapy room is the largest in Porterville and is top notch. I would feel comfortable putting mom here. Sequoia transitional care is the best
