Health & Wellness Philosophy

Pleasant View Communities is committed to offering wellness to all residents, especially in areas of physical, mental and social health.

Membership to the PVFiT fitness center allows residents to swim laps in the heated pool, use the variety of exercise equipment, take classes both on land and in the water, and receive personal training. The outdoor court area offers pickleball, bocce ball, shuffleboard and cornhole. The 2-mile-long walking trail that encircles the campus provides a wonderful way to experience the beauty and tranquility of the Lancaster County farmland that surrounds Pleasant View.

The daily activity calendar is packed with something for everyone. Nordic walking, card and board games, crafts, art classes, church services, book clubs, performances, educational presentations and trips to restaurants and other destinations are just some of the many activities made available to residents.

There are countless ways for residents to volunteer their time and lead organizations for the benefit of the community. One is the Auxiliary (and their Thrift Boutique), which raises funds for Benevolent Care. Off campus, residents can volunteer at the Manheim Community Library (now located at the Kreider Farms Cultural Center at Hoffer Farm). The northern end of the campus is home to alpacas, sheep, goats and chickens. Residents can visit and even volunteer with these animals.

Care options are one of the main reasons seniors choose to live in a Life Plan community, and PV at Home allows residents to “age in place” in their cottages or apartments while receiving help with activities of daily living. Residents at Pleasant View can be assured that they will receive quality and compassionate skilled nursing care if it’s needed. The security of knowing you will be taken care of for the rest of your life is important to a healthy peace of mind.

The most important aspect to all areas of health is community. Pleasant View is small enough to offer a family-like atmosphere, where neighbors know each other by name, check in on each other and appreciate the resident dogs and cats on our pet-friendly campus.

We also take pride in being part of a larger community. Pleasant View Communities partners with a Christian gap-year program called OneLife. Each year, college-age students come to live, study and volunteer on the Pleasant View campus. Residents have the opportunity to interact with the students, fostering much-needed intergenerational relationships. Being connected to others is vital to healthy living.
