The atmosphere here is warm and welcoming, with each resident's needs as the top priority. The dedicated staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every resident feels cared for and valued, treating them with the same love and attention they would give to their own family members.

My father and mother in-law were both lucky enough to be cared for by the wonderful staff at pleasant meadows!! Everyone there is caring and kind. The meals were very good and always came on time. My father in-law also received therapy from Brandon and the great therapy team. They really listen and help with residents recovery. I would give ten stars if possible. Keep up the great job Pleasant meadows staff. Thanks to all. Highly recommend.

Place was dirty, landscaping was definitely lacking attention, and every staff member I encountered was very rude or lazy. Could only find one rude nurse sitting at the desk in the assisted living area.
