❤️ CAREgiving IS LOVE IN ACTION.

Sometimes love doesn't need words.

It's found in a familiar voice on a difficult day. A gentle hand to hold. A favorite meal brought from home. A shared laugh, a reassuring hug, or simply sitting together when there's nothing that needs to be said.

Caregiving isn't always made up of grand gestures. More often, it's a thousand little acts of love woven into everyday life.

And while those moments may seem small, to the person receiving that love, they can mean absolutely everything. 💛

This National Family Caregivers Month, we celebrate the family members, spouses, friends, and loved ones who show us what it truly means to care.

Because at the heart of caregiving isn't just what you do. It's the love behind why you do it.

From your Pleasantview family, thank you for loving so deeply. 💙

🎶💙 A Sunday Filled with Songs, Smiles & Blessings! 💛🎶

There's just something special about a little Sunday morning music... especially when it comes from the hearts of our wonderful community! ❤️

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming a Community Choir made up of talented voices from Sunnyside, Gospel Light, Sharon Bethel, and New Hope in Washington to share their gift of music with our Sunday Chapel group here at Pleasantview.

And what a blessing they were! 🎵

There's something beautiful about people from different churches coming together with one purpose — to share their faith, lift spirits, and bring a little extra joy to others.

Our hearts (and our chapel!) were full, and we couldn't be more thankful for the time, talent, and love these wonderful individuals shared with us.

To each and every choir member, THANK YOU!💛 You reminded us once again what makes our little corner of Iowa so special — good people, strong faith, and a community that shows up for one another.

We hope you'll come sing with us again soon! 🎶😊

💰📊 **They Make Every Number Count!** 💛

November 10 is International Accounting Day, and we're celebrating three very important people who help keep things adding up here at Pleasantview!

🧮 **Jim Hershberger**
🧮 **Laura Ropp**
🧮 **Rachel Lehman**

While the rest of us might break into a cold sweat at the sight of a complicated spreadsheet, these three are right at home in the world of numbers, details, deadlines, and balancing the books. 😂

But their work is about so much more than numbers on a page.

Behind every budget, report, payment, and financial detail is a commitment to keeping Pleasantview strong, organized, and prepared to continue serving our residents and community.

It's the kind of work that often happens quietly behind the scenes, but its impact is felt throughout our entire organization.

And let's face it… we all appreciate the people who make sure the numbers add up! 😉

💛 Jim, Laura, and Rachel — THANK YOU for your hard work, attention to detail, problem-solving, and dedication to Pleasantview.

You help keep our community running smoothly, and we are so grateful for each of you!

👏 Help us give these three a little extra appreciation for International Accounting Day!

**We can always COUNT on you!** 💛

☕💙 Sunday Reflections | The Little Things

Sometimes the most meaningful moments in life are the simplest.

A warm cup of coffee. A quiet morning. A familiar face across the table. A few moments spent in God’s Word.

Here at Pleasantview, we’re reminded every day that life’s greatest blessings aren’t always found in the big moments. Often, they’re found in the little things — the conversations, the kindness, the laughter, and the comfort of knowing we belong.

As we begin another week, may we remember to slow down, count our blessings, and thank God for the people and moments that make life so beautiful.

“Every good and perfect gift is from above.” — James 1:17

🙏 Our Sunday prayer: Lord, give us grateful hearts, peaceful minds, and eyes that recognize Your goodness in the ordinary moments of each day.

Wishing you a blessed Sunday from all of us at Pleasantview! 💙

This month we're recognizing Jasmin Alva and celebrating her time serving our residents as a CNA!

Jasmin's journey with Pleasantview has included a return to our team, and we're happy to have her caring for our residents once again.

The work of a CNA is filled with countless little moments of compassion, encouragement, and helping hands—and those moments matter more than words can say.

Jasmin, thank you for choosing to be part of our Pleasantview family. We appreciate you! 🎉

As a Universal Worker, Miriam is part of those everyday moments that make Pleasantview such a welcoming community.

Miriam, thank you for the work you do and the care you bring to our residents. We're thankful to celebrate YOU today! 💛

🏗️ Big things are happening at Pleasantview… look up! 👀

The crew started lifting rafters into place this morning, and our new duplex in The Village is finally looking like a home—or, make that TWO homes! 🏡🏡

It’s one thing to look at a floor plan and imagine what it’ll be like. It’s another to stand outside, see that roofline take shape, and picture the neighbors who will one day come home here. That’s the part we’re most excited about. 💙

We’ll keep sharing the progress as these new homes come together. Thanks for cheering us on!
