PLEASANT VIEW HEALTH CARE CENTER
Over 2 years since last inspection. Current conditions may differ from available data.
Pleasant View Health Care Center has earned a Trust Grade of A, indicating excellent quality and a strong recommendation for families considering care options. It ranks #148 out of 913 facilities in Ohio, placing it in the top half, and #5 out of 42 in Summit County, meaning only four local facilities are rated higher. However, the facility is showing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from one in 2023 to two in 2025. Staffing is a weakness, rated at 2 out of 5 stars with a turnover rate of 46%, which is below the state average but still indicates staff instability. Notably, there have been incidents where residents did not receive their routine showers as planned and where medications were left unsecured, raising concerns about resident care and safety. On the positive side, the facility has zero fines on record and provides adequate RN coverage, which is important for catching potential health issues.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
