1. How did you begin volunteering at Landis Homes? I began volunteering in 2006 while my mother, Grace Way Jones, was a resident in Lititz House. I escorted residents by wheelchair to and from activities. 2. What kind of volunteer assignments do you do now? I escort residents to and from physical therapy, the beauty shop and many different activities in East Bethany Chapel, Manheim, Oregon, Lititz and Ephrata Houses. I also serve ice cream and do craft projects.

My husband Rodney and I have traveled to over 50 countries and islands and we have given over a hundred slide presentations at many locations over the years, including some at Landis Homes.

3. What benefits have you been able to give and receive through your volunteer efforts? Being a Friendly Visitor to one resident brought me much pleasure. I felt I brought some sunshine to her life and she brought some to mine. I feel blessed to be able to contribute something to people who have contributed so much in their lives. I love bringing a smile to someone’s face.

4. How has moving to Landis Homes impacted your experience? We moved here to a hybrid home in July 2015 and we love living here. We bought a golf cart and now I can take my cart to go over to Personal Care or Health Care to volunteer. 5. Can you share a poem you have written in response to your volunteering? I wrote a number of poems while I volunteered at the Lancaster General Hospital for 42 years. I “retired” from there just a few months ago, simply because I chose not to drive to Lancaster city every Tuesday any longer. Here is a sample of one of my poems:

As we celebrate the spirit of service and volunteerism within the community at Landis Homes, I am reminded of Jesus, the source of our inspiration to serve one another. He knelt and washed the disciples’ feet, and invited us to do likewise through our acts of service. He also suffered so we might live, and through this incredible gift, nurtures us in ways that encourage us to be a blessing to others. One hallmark of community life at Landis Homes has been the many volunteers who give of themselves, and from what I hear from many, feel blessed even more in return. As Grace Wenger wrote in the history of our first thirty years, “From the beginning, volunteerism was an important part of Landis Homes life. Many helped in the kitchen and dining rooms. Others folded laundry, mended or sewed on name tags for residents unable to do these tasks for themselves.” One example of this is Luke Bomberger, pictured below, who in his early volunteer service was a member of the Landis Homes Board from

Landis Homes • Spring 2016

1974 - 1993. In this role in the late 1980s, Luke was instrumental in bringing an indoor swimming pool to the Westview building. Luke and Mary moved to the newly opened Harvest View in April 1995 and have taken advantage of the aquatics program for the past 21 years. After leaving the board, Luke continued to serve in a variety of ways, including serving with Deb Laws-Landis and others on the committee which initiated the Harvest View Art Gallery and continues to purchase local art to enhance community spaces. In 2005-06, Luke and resident Joe Russell also originated the Courtyard Railroad Club which launched a G-scale model railroad in the courtyard outside of Aspen, near East Bethany Chapel. An initial layout of the tracks was installed and included buildings, lighting, and landscaping added with the help of many, including the maintenance department. After the first year of operation in 2005, Luke developed a mission statement for the club: “The mission of the Landis

Homes Courtyard Railroad is to provide therapeutic value for personal care residents and enjoyment for all residents and visitors of Landis Homes.” Beginning this spring Luke is leaving it to others lead this effort. Luke is one of many who have served more than 40 years as a Landis Homes volunteer, and is an example like many others who serve one another in the community. Thank you to each volunteer for all you contribute to our community life!

Renovations Bring New Life to Westview By Linford Good, Vice President of Planning & Marketing Westview apartments opened in 1988. Twenty-eight years later the first major renovation to interior corridors and common areas is underway on the first and second floors. Corridor renovations include new lighting, ceilings, wall covering and flooring. Entrance doorways to apartments and suites are receiving a major facelift including moldings and white paint on previously dark wood stained doors. Other new architectural features include columns, crown molding, wood trim replacing metal trim and a shelf on one side of the door for residents to display personal items to make each entrance way unique. Lobbies on each floor as well as the second floor lounge and public bathrooms are also receiving new flooring, wall coverings, ceilings, lighting and furniture. The biggest change is construction of a new three-story stairway which starts at the ground level and extends to the second floor. With the addition of the stairway, the core of Westview will be illuminated with natural light from new skylights located on the roof. When accessing other floors, this central stairway will offer a convenient alternative to using the elevator. The planned completion of these interior renovations on first and second floors is the end of May. The renovations on ground level of Westview will take place after construction is completed on the new Learning and Wellness Center since the swimming pool, fitness center and hair salon will be relocated to the new building. 4

Volunteers: Giving Time, Touching Hearts By Sue Shirk, Director of Volunteer Services National Volunteer Week, which was observed on April 10-16, 2016, promoted the slogan in the headline above. We fully agree! Volunteers choose to serve as they are able, giving time and supporting a wide variety of roles in the resident community. The volunteer banquet celebration held Saturday, April 16, focused on Volunteers as Artists. There’s an art in sharing time and life experiences with other persons. Following the creation of a live painting by artist Judy Mummau, volunteers considered the artistry that occurs as volunteers use their Volunteer Services is comprised of Director Sue Shirk, left, hands, feet, eyes, ears, and speech to touch the and Assistant Moniqua Acosta. hearts of residents. In calendar year 2015, slightly over 35,500 service hours were recorded. Today in the official volunteer program, there are 441 volunteers including 305 residents and 136 from the wider community. At Landis Homes, volunteers are involved in a wide variety of services based on an individual’s interests and skills, and then matched with resident and program opportunities. Ongoing volunteer opportunities include: • being a Friendly Visitor

• driving the Campus Shuttle

• escorting residents by wheelchair or by walking alongside residents to programs and activities

• sorting mail

• assisting staff team members with activities

• grocery shopping at Oregon Dairy • and so much more!

There is no age limit for volunteers although persons younger than age 14 need to be accompanied by an adult. We’d love to explore volunteer opportunities with you! Please contact Volunteer Services at 717-509-5409 or via landishomes.org for additional information or email [email protected].

Residents Say Thanks On April 13 during National Volunteer week, when volunteer staff arrived to work they discovered note cards taped around the office door window. The cards were from Manheim House residents in response to the question: We’re thankful for volunteers because…” Here are some of the resident notes: • they do a lot of things with us

• they are always happy to help us

• they keep us active and keep us smiling

• they take time to play games we and they enjoy so we can learn to know each other better and have a good time

• they help me enjoy and brighten my day • they help in all departments

Another Charitable Gift Annuity By Alonna Gautsche Sprunger Director of Advancement Why do some people who use a charitable gift annuity to bless Landis Homes, obtain another one… and another? There are at least three reasons.

1. Satisfaction

Why I Love Charitable Gift Annuities “I’ve been a fan of Charitable Gift Annuities (CGA’s) for more than twenty years. Recently, Charitable Gift Annuities have become an annual part of our investment and tax strategy. As a retired accountant and finance professional, I think the benefits of Charitable Gift Annuities are worthy of consideration. I like the fact that CGAs are easy to fund with cash, appreciated stock or other property. It is wonderful to have a life-long fixed annuity payment that is better than what is presently being offered with interest rates and dividends on stocks. Because annuity rates increase with age, it is an advantage to be older. The tax advantages are numerous. A charitable tax deduction is realized the year that a CGA is established. In addition, a portion of the annuity payment is nontaxable and capital gains taxes are minimized if funded by stock or other property. With our two-life annuities, I have the confidence that if anything should happen to me, my spouse will continue to receive the same fixed annuity payment as long as she lives. This is not only available to spouses but two-life annuities can bless other relatives or a friend. Finally, the remainder of the CGA will ultimately benefit Landis Homes. This is a great opportunity to bless Landis Homes while also increasing our annual income--now that is rare investment.” ~ Fred Sargent 8


Most donors ease into their first charitable gift annuity with a degree of apprehension. Is it too good to be true that when they set up a simple charitable gift annuity contract of $10,000 or more they will receive a guaranteed amount every year for as long as they live? Will the money arrive on time? Will it be the amount promised?

It doesn’t take long for uneasiness to vanish as first time gift annuity donors experience the services of Mennonite Foundation of Everence, the chosen administrator of Landis Homes’ charitable gift annuity program. With such excellent management, setting up future gift annuities is a worry free process.

2. Connection

Sharing a life-income agreement through a charitable gift annuity creates a mutually beneficial relationship. The donor is not only giving financial support but also receiving it. This partnership encourages the feeling that “we are in this together” and additional annuities deepen this connection.

3. Better Rates

Charitable gift annuity rates are determined by age. The older the donor is when setting up a contract, the better the rate. For example, the current rate for a $10,000 single-life gift annuity by a 70 year old person is 5.1 percent or an annual payment of $510. The rate increases to 5.8 percent at age 75, 6.8 percent at 80 and 7.8 percent at 85. At age 90 and up, donors receive 9 percent so it makes sense to obtain additional annuities as we grow older.

A charitable gift annuity also provides a deduction on income tax returns in the year the gift is made and a portion of the annuity payment is not reported as income. Younger donors who wish to supplement their retirement income at a later time may choose to defer their annuity payments. After the death of the annuitants, the remainder (usually about 50% of the original gift) is given to the designated charity such as Landis Homes. Currently, Landis Homes is the beneficiary of 105 active gift annuities which have been designated by the donors for specific funds that match their passions. Charitable gift annuities benefit the donors and also carry forward the mission of Landis Homes. To obtain further information about the advantages offered, contact me at asprunger@landishomes. org or call the Advancement office at (717) 509-5490. I can provide a personalized illustration to show how a charitable gift annuity could benefit you.

Landis Homes’ Wish List Residents at Landis Homes have diverse interests and needs. The items on this wish list will help enrich lives and improve quality of life. Thank you for considering a contribution that will cover the cost of an item. Donations can be given in honor or in memory of a loved one if desired.

Outdoor Nativity Figurines - $900 This past Christmas, many residents and their families inquired about the missing outdoor white Nativity Scene that had graced the Landis Homes entrance for many years. The current nativity scene is in disrepair and needs to be replaced.

Four Large White Dry Erase/Cork Boards - $650 each Residents in Health Care and Personal Care LOVE to play Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and Word Games. The large white boards will allow the Life Enrichment team to make these games easier for the residents to see and increase opportunities for participation.

Two 48 inch Flat Screen Smart TVs - $400 each Residents enjoy watching movies on weekends and also enjoy live streaming of events such as the eagle nest in York County. The larger mounted TVs would allow for more visibility in the Oregon Household and Sunshine Lounge without utilizing premium floor space.

1, 2 and 3 Pound Exercise Weights - $25 for a set at each weight level Hand weights will give residents and clients the opportunity to challenge themselves and will offer more exercise options to enhance physical wellness for those in Personal Care Households and Adult Day Services.

iPod Touch - $200 each and iPod Nano - $140 each Music is a very powerful way for residents to engage and connect with others. This is especially true for those in advanced states of dementia. The goal is to have an iPod Touch for every household and iPod Nanos for residents who have more individualized music needs.

4 Digital Cameras -$400 each Every family needs a camera and households are no different. A camera will help capture the special moments in the Personal Care households.

6 Lightweight Six Foot Tables and 4 Card Tables - $90 each Residents and their families enjoy playing games and having small gatherings such as tea or pizza parties. These lightweight tables are ideal because they can easily be used in various locations.

Two Transport Wheelchairs - $120 each These lightweight wheelchairs allow Adult Day Services clients who easily tire or have limited mobility to participate in appointments, recreational strolls and day trips.

Art Reception Features Local Artist By Deborah Laws-Landis, Director of Community Relations A spring art reception will be held at Landis Homes on May 11, with a display of the most recent works of Velma Magill.

The works will continue to be on display through July. For more information, call Landis Homes at 717-381-3550.

Earth Day Celebrated on Two Days By Linford Good, VP of Planning & Marketing As this issue of Horizons was being printed, Earth Day, which promotes the importance of environmental issues around the world, was celebrated on two days. On the evening of April 21 a buffet in the Azalea Room was offered to residents and their guests. The meal included an assortment of healthy vegetarian foods prepared by the dining services team. On April 22 there was a bus tour to Lancaster County’s Waste-to-Energy Facility located in Conoy Township. The tour group saw firsthand the waste-to-energy process which generates clean, renewable electricity from the combustion of non-hazardous solid waste. They learned that burning solid waste reduces its volume by 90%. For every ten truckloads of waste taken to the incinerator, only one truckload of ash comes out, which is then used as ground cover at the Frey Farm Landfill. 10
