Pleasant Ridge is a 73-bed assisted living community in Leechburg, Pennsylvania. The facility has undergone significant changes under new ownership, with families noting extensive renovations, new staffing, and a shift in operational focus.
Family experiences reflect a facility in transition. Positive reviewers consistently highlight the activities program, residents enjoy visits from therapy horses, flower workshops, apple butter making, paint and sips, casino nights, live music, and book clubs. Several families mention improved cleanliness, visible housekeeping presence, and a caring atmosphere. One family wrote that staff "make sure to take care of their residents by going out of their way." Meals are described as hot and nutritious, and families appreciate the reasonable monthly rates.
However, earlier reviews document serious concerns: facility maintenance issues (leaking ceilings, broken heaters), pest problems (bed bugs, stink bugs), inadequate staffing for the care level, and neglectful care practices. These complaints appear tied to pre-ownership conditions, though the contrast suggests a facility working to rebuild trust after past failures.
Pleasant Ridge holds a 3.7/5 Google rating across 33 reviews. The split between older one-star accounts of poor conditions and recent five-star reviews praising improvements reflects ongoing transition. Families considering the community should verify current staffing credentials and care protocols directly.
