Overview of Pleasant Valley Shelter Home

Nine beds and twenty-five years of operating history: Pleasant Valley Shelter Home in Lewiston is small by design and has stuck around long enough to prove the model works. It offers both memory care and assisted living from the same address on 17th Avenue.

Nine residents means staff attention runs closer than at a larger facility, and the specifics back that up: meals provided daily, so cooking isn’t something residents have to think about, and staff on hand 24 hours a day for anything that comes up. Indoor common spaces give residents somewhere to actually gather, not just pass through.

One detail worth highlighting specifically: diabetes management support, including help monitoring insulin levels. That’s a targeted clinical service, not a generic amenity, and it matters for families whose loved one needs that kind of ongoing attention.

Walk Score comes in at 64, moderately walkable, enough that some errands are realistically doable on foot alongside a decent mix of nearby amenities.

Regulatory attention here has spanned emergency preparedness, staffing credentials, documentation, and general housekeeping, the standard range inspectors look at across residential care broadly.

Pleasant Valley Shelter Home is a small, long-running memory care and assisted living community built around close daily support and genuine clinical attention to conditions like diabetes, in a walkable pocket of Lewiston.
