Page 5 of Best Memory Care in Missouri

Overview of Pleasant View

Pleasant View, in Hannibal, MO, puts nursing home, skilled nursing, and memory care on one license. The two nursing designations are what a resident with continuing medical needs comes here for. Memory care is the secured, supervised level, meant for a resident liable to wander. Forty-one beds make for a small building, and small buildings with small communities don’t ask a resident to learn many new names.

Rehabilitation services appear on the list for therapy during recovery or therapy that holds a person steady. Walkability reaches an 80 Walk Score here, high enough that a non-driver keeps most errands on foot and still gets out alone.

Payment can come from Medicare, from Medicaid, or from private funds. Susan Tate is the administrator, and Mennonite Home Association, Inc. operates the home.
