My mother has severe dementia and is a resident in one of Pleasant Hill’s care homes in Benton. The Pleasant Hill care team is absolutely wonderful and I recommend them to anyone looking for consistent, compassionate, and loving care for a loved one. We moved mom a couple of time trying to find the right fit and Pleasant Hill is definitely it. I no longer worry continuously about her or her care because I know she is in good hands ALL the time. If something is wrong with mom they will immediately let me know. I could not be more pleased with Kristi and her staff.

I can’t begin to express how elated and relieved I am that my husband and cared for both emotionally and physically. Being a caregiver is difficult and it’s even harder finding the right place when your loved one can no longer be at home. For $5 more than I was paying the nursing home, my husband gets round the clock personalized care. I recommend Pleasant Hills Senior Care to anyone in need of care, especially if it’s private pay!!

The staff at The Daisy House did not just care for my dad, they truly cared about him. They took time to understand his needs, desires, comforts and what he enjoyed watching on TV. Everyone cared for him with patience, grace and dignity. Saying goodbye to a parent is never easy but dedication and compassion they showed made this incredibly difficult time more bearable for my entire family.<br>We will be forever grateful for the care and comfort they provided. ❣️❣️

Knowing that our parents were safe and well cared for when our care for them was no longer sufficient meant everything to my family. We feel that we honored our folks by giving them the very best care available. We are grateful to Kristi Gwatney and her precious staff for taking care of our loved ones.<br><br>I am particularly thankful for the ways in which Kristi took care of any hiccup that occurred along the way….always ensuring there would be no interruption in care. Hats off to her and her staff!
