United States Congressman Dave Loebsack visited the Pleasant View Home in Kalona Wednesday as part of his ongoing efforts to visit nursing and assisted living homes throughout the district he represents. Loebsack has visited several other facilities in a continuing effort to stay abreast with how the homes are progressing and if there’s anything they are lacking. His visit to Pleasant View included a meeting with the staff, a tour of the facility, and a question and answer session with some of the residents. In visiting nursing and assisted living homes, he hopes to get a better idea of how they can be aided at the federal level, while also getting the chance to interact with the residents to find out what their concerns are. Loebsack is the congressman for Iowa’s second congressional district, which includes Washington County.
