grew out of a concern many families in the Virginia Mennonite Conference had in the late 1960's; what would happen to their family member with an intellectual disability if they were no longer able to care for him or her. The doors to our first home, now known as Turner House, opened in March 1971. has grown from a six-person group home to a multidimensional agency with a variety of day and reside

ntial services and supports. Although many came from all areas of Virginia and beyond, the majority are from the Harrisonburg/Rockingham community. Many religious backgrounds are represented including Mennonite, Brethren, Presbyterian, Jewish, Catholic, and United Church of Christ.

This past month the Harrisonburg Day Program Manager, Deb, and Team Lead, Marlene, purchased items for the program from the Helen Debutts Sensory Endowment. Helen DeButts was a long timeresident and day program participant. This Endowment was created by her cousins to honor her memory and create a fun and enriching environment for individuals with disabilities. An endowment is a gift that keeps giving year after year. Recently, Lex and Tony have been helping to assemble some of the purchased items.

Pictured 1: Tony and Lex with a light colored storage tower with shelves that will hold activity bins for individuals to access as they choose. Picture 2: Lex also stands with a new smart TV and the roller tv stand he and Tony assembled today.

The day program uses the main tv for movies, trivia games, exercise videos, and other activities that follow the theme of the week. Recently it was used for a movie night featuring "Rocky." The tv replaces a smaller one that will go to another room for choir practice, movies, and Wii. Today, Steve and Sean were trying out the new Wii Mario Cart game. Come and play some Wii games with us at the day program. We looknforward to having you.

Our Story

Individuals with developmental disabilities are important members of our community. Each individual has the right to live the life they choose. The gifts and abilities of the individuals we support have not always been as valued as they are today. Many families were encouraged to place their child with a disability in one of the five large institutional training centers of Virginia and move on with their lives. In the late 1960’s families who were able to keep their children with disabilities at home were concerned about what would happen to them if they were no longer able to care for him or her. In May of 1948, John R. Mumaw’s nephew, Chester Mumaw, was born with Down syndrome. Chester inspired John R. Mumaw to encouraged the Virginia Mennonite Conference to find a place in the community for individuals with developmental disabilities as an alternative to the large institutions. Pleasant View, Inc. grew out of these concerns.

The doors to our first home, now known as Turner House, opened in March 1971. Through the intervening years, Pleasant View, Inc. has grown from a six-person group home to a multidimensional agency that serves over 170 people through a variety of day and residential services and supports. We have been in the forefront of promoting philosophies that enhance the self determination and rights of people who have disabilities. Although many came from all areas of Virginia and beyond, the majority are from the Harrisonburg/Rockingham community. Many religious backgrounds are represented including Mennonite, Brethren, Presbyterian, Jewish, Catholic, Rise, Seventh Day Adventist, and United Church of Christ.

Pleasant View, Inc. is a nonprofit 501 (C)(3) agency. We receive Medicaid funding for about 89 % of our budget, but depend on donations to fund costs not covered by these payments or mission driven supports that don’t qualify as billable. If you would like more information about Pleasant View, Inc and the services we provide, please check out our website (www.pleasantviewinc.org) or contact our Social Work Director at 540-433-8960.
