estminster Canterbury
has welcomed spring with a
fresh new look to the front
lobby and Bridge.
Residents and visitors are
greeted at the front door by a
stunning new lobby, similar in
design to a concierge area,
featuring a double-sided gas
fireplace, new reception desk, a
coffee bar and furniture

the joy of fresh air and the signs of
new beginnings and Life Refreshed.
This spring, we need only look around
us to see the essence of renewal at
Westminster Canterbury.
As I write, the Bridge, Commons
and lobby areas are being refreshed
with new carpeting, paint, wall
finishes, lighting, ceiling and furniture
to better reflect Westminster
Canterbury’s welcoming atmosphere.
Like many projects, these renovations
have come with some delays, and I
want to thank our residents, families
and visitors for their patience. As we

purpose, with built-in planters to help define
seating groups and a warm, inviting atmosphere,”
said Shelley Daniels, CID, ASID, senior interior
designer with SFCS, the architectural, engineering,
planning and interior design firm that has guided
the design of Westminster Canterbury since it was
conceived in the 1970s. “Touches such as the
lighting, decorative sconces, picture frame
molding,
finishes,
lamps and
local artwork
provide a
Southern
traditional yet
progressive
look.”
Renovations to the third-floor
Bridge have brought a more
casual, sun-porch atmosphere to
the multi-functional space that is a
social hub for residents. Also
renovated from top to bottom, the
Bridge has been outfitted
with durable but easily
moveable furniture, new wall
finishes, ceilings, moldings,
lighting and local art.
Running underfoot in
both the lobby and Bridge is
boldly designed custom carpeting selected by
Westminster Canterbury and SFCS.
“The colors and design are unique to
Westminster Canterbury – you won’t find this
carpeting anywhere else,” Daniels said.
In addition, elevator lobbies now have ceramic
floors, and the Hume bathrooms have been
renovated in the project completed in May by
Jamerson-Lewis Construction, Inc., of Lynchburg.
Kevin Hooper, LEED, AP, vice president and
project manager for Jamerson-Lewis, noted “the
great team effort” that went into the project that
was completed in phases to enable Westminster
Canterbury to operate smoothly.
“It was a pleasure to work with the
Westminster Canterbury management team as well
as SFCS,” he said.
Daniels noted the final
color palette and many of the
features in the lobby and the
Bridge are the result of input
from both a resident committee
and Westminster
Canterbury
management.
These
renovations are
the initial steps
in Westminster
Canterbury’s
plan to attract

“Our goal was to reflect what the current

Campbell said. “The lobby and Bridge renovations
are important to keep the community fresh, alive

W
estminster Canterbury has acquired a
number of works from three local, well-known
artists for permanent display in the newly
renovated lobby, Commons and Bridge.
Paintings by Jerry Craddock and Conrad Frey,
both Westminster Canterbury residents, and T.
Ashby “Smokie” Watts, Lynchburg resident,
member of the Canterbury Club and art instructor
at Westminster Canterbury, were selected to
represent artistic interpretations of local scenes.
Craddock, Frey and Watts are predominately
watercolorists and have painted a number of
prominent local landmarks and historic sites. Their
paintings were selected and framed for specific
spaces in the renovated areas.
Conrad Frey had five watercolors of local
scenes chosen for display. As a child, he would
draw, but used no color. After retirement, he took
a watercolor class in 2004 and has been producing
watercolors ever since.
“Mine was a purely accidental start, but after
taking lessons from local artists, I was hooked,”
he said.
Jerry Craddock began painting about 33 years
ago and has sold more than 1,000 paintings in her
lifetime. She also works in watercolors and has
had her paintings on display in the Westminster
Canterbury lobby as artist of the month. Nine of
her works have become part of the collection. “My
favorite
subjects are
barns, old
houses and
flowers,” she
said.
Five
paintings by
Smokie Watts
were selected
for display.
Although he
works
primarily in
watercolors,
he also paints
in oils. His
favorite
subjects are landscapes, old buildings, and barns.
Watts noted he had an unusual beginning to his
painting career.
“In 1980, my daughter did an oil painting
and told me that I could do it, too,” he said.
“Well, I did, and after some classes and
workshops, here I am.”
All three artists expressed their thanks for being
selected for this honor and collectively encourage
other residents to pick up a pencil or a brush.
“Really, anyone can do it,” said Conrad Frey.

New vision for caring
and cherishing each other
I
n a move to keep its community modern,
vibrant and competitive, Westminster
Canterbury has embarked on a plan to upgrade
its services and facilities to meet the needs of
current and future residents.
After careful evaluation over the past four
years by Westminster Canterbury management,
its Board of Trustees, residents and experts in
the field, four vital construction projects have
been identified. Each is considered necessary to
improve the lives of residents and enhance and
sustain the LifeCare community. They include:
r Improving and renovating assisted living
suites
r Upgrading the skilled nursing center to
private rooms
r Renovating the dining area and kitchen
r Expanding and upgrading the Wellness
Center
“We have reached the point at which we can
pinpoint what we need to do better today and
what will make us more competitive over the
next five to 15 years,” said Joe Payne, Senior
Vice President of Westminster Canterbury.
Assisted living suites
With an emphasis today on “living” rather
than “assisted,” Westminster Canterbury plans
to make improvements and renovations to its 78
assisted living units, many of which were built
in the 1990s. Residents will then have the
necessary size, amenities and ability to store
more of their clothes and belongings and feel
that – except for a helping hand here and there
– they are living an independent life.
Skilled nursing care
Westminster Canterbury is embracing
“resident-centered” care, which means that
residents are the principal determinant of how
their care is delivered. This can mean anything
from how residents take their meals to when
their medicine is given. Research has shown this
improves a resident’s quality of life. Semiprivate rooms make this type of individual
approach more difficult. Westminster
Canterbury plans to upgrade the healthcare
center to private rooms, which will offer
numerous benefits to residents and their family
members.
As part of the new design, the healthcare
center also will be reconfigured into small
“neighborhoods” to encourage socialization
among residents.
Dining/kitchen
Westminster Canterbury’s heavily used
dining areas need to be renovated and refreshed
to account for wear and tear. Westminster
Canterbury also wants to address changes in
dining patterns and a shift to more informal
dining. Nearly all residents use the dining
facilities, therefore the improvements will be
widely and immediately felt. As part of this
renovation, the kitchen will be upgraded and
reconfigured to make it more efficient, allowing
for a greater variety of meals to be prepared
simultaneously.
Wellness/fitness center
The definition of what constitutes a wellness
center has changed since Westminster
Canterbury opened its Wellness Center in 2001.
To remain competitive among continuing care
5
retirement communities (CCRCs) and benefit
current residents and future generations,
Westminster Canterbury plans to add new space
for technologically advanced cardio exercise.
“Improvements to assisted living areas and
healthcare will ultimately benefit all of us, even
those of us now living in residential living,” said
Harmon Beauchamp, chair of the Westminster
Canterbury Foundation Board. “Westminster
Canterbury’s vision is to provide a good, sound
future for residents through continued
improvements and fiscal responsibility.”
Expectations changing
“Peoples’ expectations are changing,” said
Charlotte Fischer, vice chair of the Westminster
Canterbury Foundation Board. “They are
demanding a more home-like environment with
larger quarters. In
order to be
competitive, we
have to offer the
best we can.”
Mrs. Fischer
had an occasion
to view floor
plans for
apartment units
being constructed
at a retirement
community in
North Carolina
that included such
things as fireplaces in some of the units and
many built-ins. The facility is similar to
Westminster Canterbury and is also working
hard to stay up-to-date with the needs and
expectations of its residents and prospective
residents.
“People looking at LifeCare facilities are
seeking amenities that fit their lifestyle,” she said.
“We need to meet the various needs of a broad
range of residents. Improvements at Westminster
Canterbury will be a positive influence for both
present and future residents because they will be
getting more of what they want.”
Capital campaign
Westminster Canterbury seeks to pay for the
majority of the improvements through careful
financial planning and will continue its heritage
of sound management and fiscal stewardship,
said Sean Huyett, President and CEO of
Westminster Canterbury.
Philanthropy also plays an essential role in
Westminster Canterbury’s vision. After
researching six companies that provide
fundraising counseling, Capital Development
Services of Winston-Salem, NC, (CapDev) was
selected to guide Westminster Canterbury in a
capital campaign. CapDev recently conducted a
feasibility study at Westminster Canterbury to
gain a sense of the type of support for these
improvements. CapDev interviewed a crosssection of Westminster Canterbury residents and
summarized
resident
sentiments
toward a capital
campaign at a
meeting on April
27 with the
Westminster
Canterbury
Board of
Trustees and the
Westminster
Canterbury
Foundation
Board.
“More and more people want to give back in
ways that are meaningful and reflective of what
they care most about,” said Allan Burrows,
President of CapDev. “People give to causes that
matter to them, and the residents of
Westminster Canterbury are passionate about
Westminster Canterbury and want to be
supportive of it. These gifts will enable this
project to keep Westminster Canterbury’s
standards for a high quality CCRC.”

patients at Westminster Canterbury and in
Central Virginia.
“With the addition of hospice care,
Westminster Canterbury and

Canterbury has provided for 35 years. With
CHAP accreditation, Central Virginia residents
also can be assured that Senior Independence

emergency.
Senior Independence will help the patient
and family develop a personalized care plan so
that the patient can continue
to live life to the fullest
and bring peace as life’s
journey ends, said Riley.
Members of the hospice
team are always available
to answer questions about
hospice care, she added.

From the Westminster Canterbury Foundation
Sam’s legacy for all of us
By Joseph P. L. Payne
T
oday, sitting at my desk and
thinking back about all the
friends I’ve had the privilege of
knowing these last 15 years at
Wetminster Canterbury (WCL), I
came across an article I wrote
about an old friend and one of
our past residents, Sam Williams.
We did an article about Sam in
Joseph P. L. Payne
the 2012 Spring Vision, sister
publication of Chimes. We talked about the legacy he
left, not only for multiple charities in the area, but for
our residents through gifts to the Fellowship
Endowment.
Established over 34 years ago, the Fellowship
Endowment serves as a safety net for residents who,
through no fault of their own, have suffered a
financial setback.
As one of Lynchburg’s most esteemed trust
officers and financial advisors, Sam saw first-hand
how the best laid retirement plans can sometimes
fail. Like many very wise and generous people in
our WCL history who believed in our mission, Sam
wanted to help make sure Fellowship assistance was
available to our residents when needed.
Sam picked two ways to help build the
Fellowship Endowment. First, he set up a bequest by
will to Westminster Canterbury, along with a number
of other charities in which he believed. Second,
because he had great experience with Charitable Gift
Annuities (CGAs) in his career, and was one of the
people who encouraged me to set up a CGA
program here at WCL, he set up three Charitable
Gift Annuities to benefit him and those he loved.
For Sam, CGAs made perfect sense as a gift that
gives and gets at the same time. He even helped me
edit some questions one needs to ask to see if a
CGA is right for them. Here they are:
• How do you know if a CGA might be good for
you? Well, most gift annuity donors are retired,
want to increase their cash flow, seek the security
of guaranteed payments and would like to save
taxes. A charitable gift annuity could be right for
you in any of the following circumstances:
• Have interest rates on your CDs and other
fixed-income investments declined, and would
you like to increase your cash flow?
• Do you own appreciated stock or mutual fund
shares, considered selling some of the shares and
reinvesting the proceeds to generate more income,
but hesitated because you don't want to pay tax
on the capital gain?
• Would you like to count on fixed payments
which are unaffected by interest rates and stock
prices and which you cannot outlive?
• Do you want to assure continuation of
payments to a surviving spouse without the delay
of probate proceedings?
• Would you like to provide financial assistance
to an elderly parent, a sibling, or other person in a
tax-advantaged manner?
As Sam would remind me when he decided
to create yet another CGA, if any of the above
rings true for you, and you are considering a
gift, a CGA might be right for you. As I often
did for Sam, if you would like a free,
confidential proposal based on your particular
situation, just call me. Very quickly, I can have a
proposal to you either by email, hand delivery or
next day mail.
As we remember the many people who have
been so generous to the residents of Westminster
Canterbury, think about Charitable Gift Annuities
as a way to leave your legacy to future residents
of Westminster Canterbury, and bolster your
income at the same time. Call me at
434.386.3507, and let me explore with you how
you might benefit from a Charitable Gift Annuity.

because I meet residents of Westminster
Canterbury who have such fascinating
backgrounds,” Zellner said. “The people make
the place. Also, I cannot say enough about the
leadership team, all of whom do an excellent
job at looking at every aspect of the
organization — where we can excel and enrich
the resident experience while continuing our
fiscal responsibility.
“Looking ahead, the board knows that in
order to maintain the premier quality of
Westminster Canterbury, we will need to invest
in the physical plant by making renovations in
several areas, including assisted living,
healthcare, dining and fitness,” she said.
“Westminster Canterbury is also moving toward
patient-centered care in assisted living and
skilled nursing that will enable residents to
better control their quality of life and the care
they receive.
“Westminster Canterbury is a gem. But we
can’t be complacent,” Zellner said. “We need to
listen to current and prospective residents and
look at trends in senior living throughout the
country so that we stay current and relevant.”

serving in an ex officio capacity as previous
past chair.
For the first time, the Board of Trustees has
two resident members, Robert G. (Jerry)
Bass and Elizabeth J. Lipscomb.
“I think it is a significant and important
change to the composition of the board,” said
Zellner, who noted the suggestion for two
resident board members was made by Sean
Huyett when he became President and CEO of
Westminster Canterbury. “We have past chair
Max Guggenheimer to thank for pursuing the
idea and making it a reality.
“Jerry and Elizabeth were selected by the
nominating committee from among those
whose names were submitted to the Residents’
Council,” Zellner said. “As trustees, they
represent Westminster Canterbury and will put
the good stewardship of Westminster
Canterbury above any personal wishes or
desires. I think Jerry’s and Elizabeth’s insights
will be tremendously important to the board as
we make decisions.”

Ken Farmer to share antiques expertise
R
esidents who think they might have a
“hidden gem” of an antique in their residence at
Westminster Canterbury are going to have an
opportunity to find out.
As part of its continuing financial and estate
planning programs for residents and Canterbury
Club members, the Westminster Canterbury
Foundation will host “A Morning With Ken
Farmer” on Thursday, May 14.
Farmer, probably best
known for his many
appearances as an appraiser
on PBS Antiques Roadshow,
will examine items and
discuss their historic
significance during the
program, which will begin at
10 a.m. in the Commons.
Ken Farmer
“We expect a big crowd
with 280 residents and 140 Canterbury Club
members invited,” said Laura Hunter,
Marketing Director for Westminster Canterbury.
“We are expecting this to be a fun, interesting
and informative event that allows club members
to interact with residents.”
Farmer has worked in the antiques business
for more than 40 years. He began his career as
a dealer in American fine and decorative arts
and has since become a valued authority in
many areas of expertise. He has appeared on
Antiques Roadshow since its inception in 1996
as a specialist in folk art, furniture, decorative
arts and musical instruments. He offers
professional appraisal and consultation services
and frequently lectures throughout the country
about antiques, collecting, downsizing and
many other subjects.
“So many times there are such wonderful
stories associated with the items brought to a
presentation, and being able to share these
stories is a pure joy for me,” he said.
Westminster Canterbury resident Margaret Banks Kehrer
plans to ask Ken Farmer about the historic significance of
her fan.
Farmer began making similar presentations
after people saw him on Antiques Roadshow
and asked him to speak at fundraisers. Growing
demand has produced 16 bookings so far this
year, including planned appearances at legal and
wealth management seminars.
“There are a lot of people who want to
know what to do with all of their antiques and
stuff,” said Farmer. “My answer is to keep what
they really love and don’t worry about the rest.”
During his presentation at Westminster
Canterbury, Farmer will help put a financial
value on selected items to help make the answer
easier.
“We are very happy to have Ken Farmer
share his antique expertise with us,” Hunter
said. “This is exactly the type of event that
confirms and re-affirms what we do here at
Westminster Canterbury.
“A Morning With Ken Farmer” is being
sponsored by the Westminster Canterbury
Foundation.

achieve person-directed values and practices in which the voices of
seniors and those who work with them are considered and respected.
Core person-directed values are choice, dignity, respect, selfdetermination and purposeful living. We see “culture change” as an
opportunity for continuous improvement here at Westminster
Canterbury. Culture change transformation may require changes in
our organizational practices, physical environments, relationships at
all levels and workforce models, with our objective — as always —
to achieve the best outcomes for our residents and direct caregivers.
As we continue to improve and expand our healthcare services,
we are pleased to now offer hospice as part of our home care
program. After completing the CHAP certification process in
December, our Senior Independence program was granted
accreditation in January to offer hospice care to residents both on
campus and throughout Central Virginia. Senior Independence of
Westminster Canterbury offers expert and compassionate physical,
emotional and spiritual support and care for people with terminal
illnesses and their families.
We would like to thank the residents, staff, board members,
volunteers and friends of Westminster Canterbury for their time,
dedication and support this year. The efforts of so many
individuals have enabled Westminster Canterbury to continue to
provide high quality services and reinvest in our campus and the
organization’s future.

Financial Performance Fiscal Year 2014.
Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2014.
Westminster Canterbury had a strong fiscal
year in 2014, with continued improvement in
our operating indicators and securing a stronger
cash position. For the year, excess revenues over
expenses were in the amount of $765,905 versus
an excess of $321,083 in 2013. Revenues for the
fiscal year were up 2.58 percent over FY2013.
Residential living occupancy averaged 92.5
percent in fiscal 2014 and ended the year at 95.0
percent. Marketing continues to see strong
demand for our services. The increase in moveins this year led to net entrance fee cash flow of
$8.3 million in fiscal 2014 compared to $6.3
million in fiscal 2013. Occupancy in healthcare
was somewhat higher, but the demand for shortterm rehabilitation was lower. Amortization
income was up $222,527 or 5.3 percent over
FY2013. Investment income was up $485,599
due to another strong year in the financial
markets. Expenses were up only 0.74 percent
over the prior year.
Senior Independence began a new hospice
program in October 2014 and will add expenses
not expected to be fully offset by revenue in its
first year. WCL’s Home Health program, started
in fiscal 2011, is budgeted to be profitable for
the first time in fiscal 2015.
The operating ratio was 103.98, versus a
budget of 102.64. Cash increased by a positive
$2,870,740 over FY2013 resulting in a days cash
on hand of 437. The Debt Service Ratio
improved from 2.98 in fiscal year 2013 to 4.01,
providing a healthy cushion for WCL. Finally,
with positive operating ratios, unrealized gains
on investments and pension changes, we
experienced improvement in Unrestricted Net
Assets (Equity) in the amount of $1,258,251.
WCL has identified approximately $30
million in capital needs for renovations to
healthcare, dining and wellness areas.
