I am truly in awe of the wonderful nursing staff who cared for my mom before and while she passed away in their facility. She enjoyed socializing and the daily activities as well as the food. I can't say enough good things about every staff member with which I had contact; from laundry, food service and facilities to RNs, STNAs and LPNs. Thank you so so mich for taking care of my mom and making her last days so wonderful.

They simply do NOT prioritize short term care patients nor do they care to. Staff from house keeping all the way up to nursing director are rude and lack accountability and communication skills. Do NOT send your loved one in need of short term physical rehabilitation here.

My Dad stayed there for about 10 days,and he said that he had a good experience. I visited him there doing that period,and the place seems to be a very good place.the girl working the front desk in the main lobby near the front door 🚪 was very nice and friendly. If I need a nursing 🧑‍🍼 rehab facility for myself or a family member or friend,I will definitely consider this place.😇

My 94 year old mother had fallen at home. Pleasantview is wonderful in rehabilitation. Her physical therapy team were the best. All the staff were kind and compassionate. Amber was extremely helpful as the social worker with her discharge.

After 8 days in the hosp recovering from Influenza A my mother was transfered to Pleasant View for rehabilitation. less than 24 hours later I removed her from this facility and took her home. She was not permitted out of her bed during her hosp stay because she is a fall risk, uses a walker at home and wheelchair when out of the home. The Pleasant View staff expected her to get out of bed and use the restroom without a walker and left her to clean herself unsupervised. When she asked for a phone to call me she was informed she would have to go to the front desk to call me. I will never recommend this facility for in house care. I am only giving one star because I have to in order to post this review.
