    Transformative dementia care, improved mobility

    I placed my mom at Pleasantview and it's been transformative - the loving, knowledgeable staff (excellent director and attentive nurses) give one-on-one, dementia-focused care that improved her mood, social interaction and mobility. The home is very clean, well-kept, centrally located with plenty of parking and daily activities. Pricing felt fair but overall costs were high for our family; still, I highly recommend Pleasantview.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews of Pleasantview Home For Adults is strongly positive. Multiple reviewers praise the facility for high-quality, attentive care and a nurturing atmosphere. Many accounts highlight dramatic, tangible improvements in residents after moving to Pleasantview — from lifted depression and refusal to eat to increased mobility and daily participation. Reviewers commonly rate the care very highly (including explicit 5/5 and “10/10 nursing care” endorsements) and several say they would highly recommend the home.

    Care quality emerges as a consistent strength. Comments emphasize individualized attention (one-on-one care), attentive nursing, and staff who treat residents like family. Several reviewers attribute major positive changes in physical and mental health to the care provided — for example, improved mood, more social interaction, engagement in activities, and mobility exercises that led to better movement. Dementia care is explicitly called out as effective by multiple reviewers, and families report that residents are happier and being cared for attentively.

    Staffing and management receive repeated praise. The director is described as friendly, well educated in patient care, and loving; reviewers also mention a supportive advisor and compassionate staff members. Specific staff names (for example, Betty) and descriptors like “kind,” “knowledgeable,” and “calm” recur, reinforcing the impression of a stable, empathetic caregiving team. The environment is frequently characterized as calm, nurturing, and familial, with staff availability and personal attention noted as major positives.

    Facility and location aspects are also strong. Reviewers describe Pleasantview as clean, well-kept, and attractive in appearance, with a tidy exterior and very good cleanliness standards. Practical considerations such as plenty of parking and a central location close to businesses and amenities are noted favorably, which can matter for family visits and access to local services.

    Activities and social life are highlighted in multiple summaries: daily activities, social interaction, and mobility exercises are credited with helping residents engage, improving happiness, and facilitating recovery from prior decline. The combination of programmed activities and personal attention seems to support both mental and physical health improvements for many residents.

    The primary negative theme is financial: while some reviewers say pricing is fair, at least one family found the overall cost to be high and reported that placement “did not work out” for them. This indicates that cost is a potential barrier or concern for some families, even though clinical and personal-care outcomes are widely praised. Beyond that financial note, there are no consistent complaints about care quality, safety, or cleanliness in the provided summaries.

    In summary, Pleasantview Home For Adults is consistently described as a well-run, clean, centrally located facility with a compassionate, knowledgeable staff and strong, individualized nursing care. Reviewers commonly report significant improvements in residents’ mood, mobility, and engagement following placement. Management and staff receive frequent commendations, and many families highly recommend the community. The main caveat is cost: a few families perceive the expense as high enough to be a deciding factor against placement, so prospective families should weigh financial considerations alongside the strong care-related outcomes reflected in these reviews.

    Pleasantview Home For Adults sits in Bay Shore, NY, and serves as a cozy assisted living community for adults, especially those aged 55 and over, with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other memory problems, and you'll find it's a small place-usually just four to six residents at one time-and feels very much like a family home, where caring staff give gentle supervision, help with daily routines, and do their best to make everyone comfortable. This home cares for memory needs, offering secured and locked areas to keep residents safe, and there's always someone around trained in first aid, CPR, and medication help, plus visiting nurses, therapists, and even a doctor or podiatrist on call, so folks get the support they need without having to go far.

    Residents get all sorts of meals-vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, no sugar, and other special diets-cooked and served in a family-style dining room, and those who need help with eating, blood sugar checks, or incontinence get that without fuss. There's both respite and short term stays, so if someone needs a break, or isn't staying long, they're welcome too. You get laundry, housekeeping, private baths, emergency call systems in place, furnished rooms, family picnics, and holiday celebrations, just as you'd expect from a family-type setting.

Wheelchair accessible showers and indoor and outdoor gathering areas make moving about easier, and transportation is there if you need it-sometimes free, sometimes for a fee.

    While there's plenty of structure, the pace stays slow, with activities and therapies for memory support, beauty and barber services, visiting chaplains, and lots of kindness from the staff, who always try to keep things calm and steady for those folks whose memories aren't what they used to be. You'll see that people living at Pleasantview Home For Adults get help with personal care, medication management, and whatever else keeps them safe and independent, whether they're there for a little while or staying as long as they like.
