Overview of Pleasant Valley Memory Care

Pleasant Valley Memory Care is a 90-bed memory care community under administrator Jennifer Whiteley at 1248 Nelson Avenue in Modesto, California. The community operated by Pleasant Valley Memory Care Inc. offers memory care, respite care, and rehabilitation services in Stanislaus County. The facility was licensed in March 2026. It offers 24-hour staffing and welcomes pets.

As a facility licensed in early 2026, the regulatory record is limited to the opening period. No citations or complaints appear on file, and no routine inspection has occurred yet. Note that a composite score needs at least three inspections under California’s benchmark system. The latest regulatory visit was March 2026.

Three meals daily with dietary accommodations for memory care residents are prepared by registered dietitians. A covered outdoor patio with a private courtyard, therapeutic recreation programming, and a pet-friendly environment are among the amenities.

For older adults and families seeking dedicated memory care in Modesto, Pleasant Valley Memory Care suits well. It’s where a newly built community, 24-hour staffing, and a Central Valley location define the early offering in Stanislaus County.

Inspection History

In California, the Department of Social Services (for assisted living facilities) and the Department of Public Health (for nursing homes) conduct inspections to ensure resident safety and regulatory compliance.

We don't publish a score for nursing homes with fewer than three inspections on record. This would unfairly reward providers with limited inspection history or those that have not been operating long enough to be cited.

Inspection score unavailable

Not enough inspection history to generate a score.

Average score for California nursing homes: B- 81/100

Inspection score not available. Not enough inspection history to score against the California benchmark.
