Pleasantview Care Center is family owned and has served the community since 1971, and folks say it feels cozy because they've tried to make it more like a home than an institution, and the place has been remodeled with bright, roomy private rooms, inviting bathrooms, and even a little party room for events, so there's a bit of comfort for everyone, and if you want, you can bring your dog or cat as long as they're within the weight limits, which is something you don't see everywhere. They've got Medicaid and Medicare certification and get their license from the Ohio Department of Health, so everything stays above board, and being right by the bus lines with parking for residents and guests, it's really not hard for people to come and visit or get out for a bit, since they'll provide rides and transportation if you need it, and there's plenty of access with wheelchair-friendly showers built right into the rooms, so no one has to struggle with basic things.
Meals here are made with an eye on nutrition using good ingredients, and there's a private dining room you can use if your family's coming by for a meal, and in general, they keep plenty of lounges and activities around, plus strong Wi-Fi that covers everyone. If you need skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or short-term care, staff are always around, including a daily nurse practitioner Monday through Friday and registered nurses, plus most of the team has been around awhile and really knows the residents, which matters for people who need consistent help. They provide about 4.5 hours of daily nursing care for each resident, which is more than what's usually required, and they even have a certified wound care nurse, which is important for folks recovering from surgery or with diabetes, plus they run a Center of Excellence for wounds.
They support cardiac patients, even fitting Life Vest Wearable Defibrillators, and offer care with incontinence, diabetes, pain management, pneumonia, chronic heart failure, hip or knee replacements, and urinary tract infections, with nurse practitioners, physical, occupational, and speech therapy often available every day. The facility also has a respiratory department with a full-time therapist and equipment for oxygen therapy, non-rebreather masks, Bi-PAP, C-PAP, tracheostomy care, and education for going home safely, not to mention a gym that simulates home tasks so therapy's actually useful.
Their Crystal Hall unit cares for people with dementia or Alzheimer's and includes 24 beds, secured grounds, sensory gardens, and specially trained staff who stick to memory support routines, and with the Music and Memory Program, residents with memory trouble get personalized playlists to help bring back old memories through music, which quite a few families appreciate, and that program's supported by donations and grants. They've got different religious services, like a monthly Mass from Holy Family Church, rosary prayers every week, plus Bible studies and services with several local churches, if that's important to you, and they try to include everyone from all sorts of backgrounds so everyone feels welcome.
Short-term stays are available for respite, and a high percentage of folks here do well enough with therapy and support to move back to where they lived before. Before discharge, staff make home visits to check things over and help keep it safe for returning residents. Hospice care's also coordinated with outside providers, focusing on pain, comfort, and family support while keeping everyone in the loop. There's a range of activities, from bingo, art and music therapy, social gatherings, carnivals, outings, movies with snacks, a lunch group planning meals, fitness classes like tai chi and strength training, and even intergenerational programs where local scouts and elementary school children visit. Volunteers and community groups drop in regularly, and folks get to take part in plenty of recreational and learning activities.
Legacy Place Parma, a full-service assisted living residence, sits nearby for those looking for apartment-style living with extra support. All in all, Pleasantview Care Center covers everything from skilled nursing, rehab, and long-term care to advanced therapies and memory support, aiming for a well-rounded, nurturing place where everyone's dignity and choices matter, with staff who build long-term relationships with residents and their families.
