Overview of Pleasant Care Group Home

Pleasant Care Group Home is an assisted living community in Sparks, NV. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while allowing a resident to maintain their own living space.

With five beds, the home may be a good fit for someone who prefers a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other. The home has 100% occupancy, meaning all five beds are currently filled, and Freda T. Castro serves as the administrator. A Walk Score of 73 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
