Pleasant Acres Care Center

Pleasant Acres Care Center sits in Hull, Iowa, and offers skilled nursing care, rehabilitation services, dementia and Alzheimer's care, as well as both short-term and long-term care, and you'll find assisted living and independent living options, too, which makes it a place that covers a wide range of care needs for older adults, and while the care team aims to provide personalized treatment and support every day, making efforts to help residents recover and keep their independence, they do face regular state inspections. The facility is licensed as a senior care center, though it's always a good idea to check with official licensing authorities for the most current status, and the center has 46 certified beds, but tends to serve about 26 residents on an average day, so it's not too large, and this can make it a bit easier to get to know people. There are spacious living areas, shared spaces for activities, and outdoor spots for relaxing or meeting others, which gives residents several choices for how they spend their time. Pleasant Acres' staff work around the clock, with about 3.06 nurse hours provided per resident per day, and the team is made up of licensed nurses and therapy professionals who handle care needs, chronic illness management, and post-surgery recovery plans tailored to each resident. The center belongs to the Arboreta Healthcare group and is managed by Arboreta Healthcare Consulting; Greenside Healthcare Properties owns it outright. The place's care focuses on both physical and emotional well-being, with special programs for memory care and dementia, and it also has links with the Iowa Health Care Association and IHCA's Premier Partners, which may help guide its services. On the downside, inspection reports show the center has had 38 deficiencies, including four related to infection control and some concerning nutrition and resident rights, like a December 12, 2024 report with six deficiencies (one involving infection and another in meeting dietary needs, with potential but no actual harm). There's a Pleasant Acres website with more information and directions, and they also post updates on Facebook. Residents can expect personalized treatment plans and a supportive atmosphere, though anyone considering the center should always review inspection reports and talk with staff for the latest updates.
