Overview of Pleasantview Assisted Living

Pleasantview Assisted Living is a 56-bed faith-based community at 811 3rd Street in Kalona, Iowa. Administered by Marcille Ward, the facility serves Washington County under a license issued in August 2023. Current data shows a 41% occupancy rate with 23 residents, as the facility is in a growth phase following its recent opening. The location holds a Walk Score of 50, indicating moderate walkability in the downtown Kalona area.

The initial certification inspection conducted on December 5, 2024, resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. While the community lacks a long-term operational history, this first review earned a 5-star inspection rating, signaling that all regulatory requirements were met at launch.

Clinical care at this campus follows a multi-level model including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Professional services are provided by a licensed nursing team capable of supporting residents as they transition between different levels of care. The community also hosts dementia support groups and provides volunteer opportunities to foster resident engagement and family involvement.

The residential environment emphasizes spiritual values and a home-like atmosphere with landscaped grounds and garden spaces. Outdoor dining areas and common rooms are designed to support a quality-of-life focused approach within a faith-centered setting. As a two-year-old facility, management focuses on establishing long-term care protocols and stabilizing operations within its newly built environment.

Prospective residents may find the community’s early zero-deficiency status and faith-based values a strong foundation for placement. It is advisable to confirm current staffing stability and discuss the availability of skilled nursing services during a personal tour. Individuals can contact the Kalona office to discuss how the multi-level care model supports aging in place and to verify that 2026 safety standards remain consistent with the initial high rating.
