Our family had an in person tour with Pleasant Villa Retirement Home and we felt that the community was clean and the residents appeared to be nice. The staff members also appeared to be caring and very hands-on with the residents. The rooms were nice but for the size of the studio it was just not worth the cost.
We picked this community because it was the best fit for my loved one. We loved it and she loved it. They went above and beyond. The director is amazing and really cares for the residents. I would recommend to other families.

I toured this facility and wasn't very satisfied. It didn't appear very clean, staff was not friendly other than our tour host, and it really needs some upgrades. I also had some security concerns with their set up. Not the place for us.
They've been very fair and very good to our loved one. I have nothing to complain about. The facility is very clean. And they have a lot of activities for the residents.

We toured Pleasant Villa Retirement Home, I really liked it and my sister really liked it. We had a good tour, but we thought the building needed to be renovated or upgraded. Other than that, it was really nice. I understand that renovations have to be approved by higher ups and there isn't much the community workers can do about it. We chose another community for that reason.
The staff are very helpful and very kind. It's a very homey atmosphere. Unlike other places, the food is superb. They have a good variety, balanced meals that are home cooked, and seconds if you want them. I think the apartments are very nice. They're small but still suit my friend's needs. In visiting her, it feels like home to me. If I needed a place like this, Pleasant Villa would be the first place I would go.

If you can afford another community, I would suggest you go to the other one. I am getting what I am paying for, and it is lacking in some areas. The residents play bingo for activities and this is all I've seen done for activities.

We're very pleased with how things have gone at Pleasant Villa Retirement. The staff here is friendly and professional, and they do a great job looking out for the people that live here. One person in particular, Reed, has really gone above and beyond helping us out, and really helped my loved one get settled in and comfortable. It's a very nice place overall, and I would recommend it to others.

Pleasant Villa is an affordable independent living facility that's locally owned and operated. There's a gentleness about this facility's family-like atmosphere that makes its residents feel comfortable and "at home". The facility has two stories, but all rooms are single level and most are rented as unfurnished. An elevator provides easy access to all second story rooms. All facilities can be accessed without having to use stairs. The owner/director and his assistant are extraordinary and loving people. They are also "hands-on" managers who go far beyond the call of duty to support and care for their residents. Similarly, their kind and considerate staff are appreciated and well liked by the residents. Although independent living facilities are not allowed to provide medical services or dispense medications, if desired, the Pleasant Villa staff is willing to regularly remind residents to carry out doctor prescribed medication routines. The facility provides a variety of standard and enhanced services including: laundry, housekeeping, in-room cable television and three meal-per-day dining. There is also a barber/beautician on site. The staff will shop off-site for residents once a week if desired. In summary, Pleasant Villa provides independent residents with an affordable, secure and comfortable living situation that is hard to beat.

This place sounds great and I wish it would have worked out for my brother in law but I believe he needs more supervision than this home supplies. The manager and owner are extremely helpful and accommodating.
