Pleasant View Nursing Home sits on WI-81 in Monroe and has served seniors as a non-profit care community owned by Green County since 1985, offering 96 certified beds and hosting around 65 residents each day, so you see some rooms are open and some have a person in them, and the staff mix includes a Director of Nursing, Dietician, Social Worker, Business Manager, Billing/Administrative Assistant, Environmental Services Supervisor, Administrator, plus a friendly team focused on comfort and healing, though it's worth pointing out the place has a nurse turnover rate of 47% and logged 42 deficiencies on a recent inspection, with some important ones about infection control and reporting or responding to suspected abuse, neglect, or theft-none listed caused actual harm at the time, but the state noted a real risk.
The nursing staff offers 4.22 hours per resident per day, which means people get a fair bit of staff time, especially with long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, and a range of therapy services including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and there's a special memory care unit for dementia called the Dementia Stabilization Unit, the first one of its kind in Wisconsin, so folks in crisis with dementia have support and families get help navigating tough spots. The place has been updated in recent years to make things a little brighter and easier to get around, with pleasant dining rooms, big common spaces for family visits and socializing, outdoor gardens, an aviary where little birds sing, private and semi-private rooms, beauty and barber shop services on site, and even a cozy lounge so folks can unwind or visit on quiet days.
Personalized care plans aim to cover each resident's unique needs and encourage independence and dignity, and the facility sets up a Life Enrichment program plus plenty of planned activities, religious services, transportation, chaplaincy, laundry for personal items, daily meals prepared for dietary needs, and an option for hospice and respite care too, if needed. Volunteer help is welcome for all sorts of activities and residents are treated like family-though, again, it's good to remember the place has had issues in the past with infection control and reporting safety concerns, but the focus remains on compassion, steady support, and giving seniors a sense of purpose as they age in a comfortable and supportive space that tries hard to meet a wide range of healthcare and social needs.
