Serving One Another
“God has given each of
you a gift from the great
variety of spiritual gifts.
Use them well to serve
one another.”
1 Peter 4:10
Creatively Serving Others
L
andis Homes welcomed our first residents
in February 1964, but the creative dream
and vision for Landis Homes began 50 years
ago in 1961. Prompted by an offer of a farm by
Emma Shenk of Strasburg, Lancaster Mennonite
Conference asked Eastern Mennonite Board of
Missions to pick up this vision of offering “creative
retirement living” for retired missionaries, pastors,
church workers and others.
As described by A. Grace Wenger in a history
of Landis Homes’ first 30 years, on November
7, 1961 the Mission Board appointed a tenmember planning committee: Levi Brubaker, Ira
Buckwalter, Frank Enck, J. Mowery Frey, Charles
Good, Clarence Harnish, Sanford High, Adam
Martin, Orie Miller and Lester Wenger.
Orie Miller, who convened the first meeting on
December 13, 1961, led a devotional meditation
based on Psalm 71:17-19 and Psalm 92:12-15. He
commented that 10 percent of the US population
was over the age of 65 and that there were more
than a million people over 85. He asked, "For
what is God giving us these additional years?"
He answered his own question saying: "Certainly
for a purpose, and youth and old age together
should find ways to make these extended years
meaningful."

Landis Homes • Annual Report 2011
This spirit of seeking to honor God through
creatively serving others has permeated Landis
Homes history, and a few examples are shared
throughout this Annual Report.
One recent example is the story of the “White
Rose,” an original painting by Eva Beidler (story
on page 15). It gives the history of how the
painting made its way through several owners
beginning with former board member Louise
Stoltzfus, who is deceased, and eventually found
its way to be gifted to Landis Homes.
Grace Wenger in her book describes how this
spirit of creativity is encouraged in community
life at Landis Homes. She shares, “No matter
what talents or interests a resident may have-crafts, games, travel, nature study, reading, or
writing--Landis Homes offers a creative outlet.
Residents and staff unite to ‘affirm the importance
of retirement years as a vital stage of life during
which creative expressions are encouraged,
recognized and valued.’
We are grateful for the creative acts of many… for
Eva Beidler, for Louise Stoltzfus, for Grace Wenger,
for Orie Miller, for Emma Shenk, and for all that
you contribute as we together “serve creatively.”
It takes all of us together to make a community
seeking to honor and enrich the lives of others with
deep gratitude for Christ’s love for each of us.

A Thankful and Giving Heart
By Bonnie Hemperly, Volunteer
I became Manager of Dogwood and General Store
Gift Shoppes in 2007 by answering an announcement
that appeared in a Landis Homes newsletter. In other
words, I volunteered. In recent years, I also took on
the role of managing the Flea Market on Fellowship
Day. In both cases I was looking for “something” as
a fill-in and as a way to feel valued. Volunteering
created this opportunity.
I am delighted to be a part of Landis Homes and to
get to know the residents, employees and visitors
with whom I interact each week. They inspire me.
I am also grateful that the time and energy I
contribute has the benefit of increasing the
benevolent care that provides resources for
residents who are most in need.
I approach each day with a thankful and
giving heart. I enjoy each moment of
volunteering with its interesting and
sometimes challenging situations.
And most of all, I plan to continue my
responsibilities as well as throw a little fun
in the mix, to keep it interesting.
“God has given each of you a gift . . . serve one another.” • 1 Peter 4:10

Friends of the Towel and Basin
July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011
We are deeply grateful to our Friends of the Towel & Basin who contributed to furthering Christ-like care at Landis Homes.
A majority of donors helped support residents who can no longer pay for the full cost of services they need through donations to the
Caring and Caring Endowment Funds. Other donors gave donations to provide financial aid to clients in Adult Day Services,
to buy medical equipment, and to enrich the services to persons with memory loss. We apologize for any misspellings or omissions
from the list. Please contact us with your corrections.

A SERVICE OF FOOT WASHING
By Jim Leaman, Chaplain
Last spring I was invited to help facilitate a foot washing
service in one of the memory support houses at Landis
Homes. I had some reservations, but I liked that this idea
had originated with team members who wanted to honor
the residents in this act of serving and caring.
The service provided an opportunity for all of us to
participate in a ritual of worship and practice which had
previously been meaningful for many of the residents.
The planning went forward, and the event was scheduled
for an evening during Holy Week.
That evening a group of about twenty-four residents and team members gathered in the living room and
began overflowing into the adjoining hallway. One of the Lititz House residents played prelude music on the
keyboard and accompanied the group in singing the hymn, “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.” Following
a reading from Luke 22, I shared the bread and the cup of communion with those gathered.
The highlight of the evening was the service of foot washing. I read from John 13,
which records Jesus washing feet, and shared some thoughts about humble
service and cleansing of the heart. Then we team members, taking prepared
basins of water, each knelt in front of one of the residents to gently and
lovingly bathe and wipe the resident’s feet. Following this we shared hugs
and blessings.
The resident whose feet I had washed approached me and warmed my
heart with a big “Thank you!”
Then unexpectedly one of the residents said she wished to wash the feet
of a team member. Without any preplanning, she was assisted by others to
kneel, and then she washed and dried the feet of a team member. When she
was finished and was assisted to her feet again, she gave the team member a
hug and kiss.
One team member said, “I am sure that when God placed this
in the hearts of the Lititz House team they had no idea how
meaningful and how much of a blessing this would be to so
many people.”
“God has given each of you a gift . . . serve one another.” • 1 Peter 4:10

A Chance to Grow
By Stu Landis, Recipient of the LeadingAgePA* Professional Advancement Award 2011
I am very pleased to receive this award which I see as an incredible honor. To me the
award reflects so much about the opportunity that Landis Homes gives to its employees
to grow and develop... even giving space for persons like myself to be curious,
experiment and to find solutions.... some that even resulted in improvements.
I think serving creatively involves giving employees space and opportunity to explore
methods of improvement. Landis Homes for me has welcomed innovation and
encouraged the development of ideas to make our community a better place.
I give my thanks to each person on the IT team. Duane, who somehow keeps
calm and consistently find solutions even in the midst of multiple technology
challenges. Chris, and his skill to manage virtual servers, Windows
networking and pounding away until there is a breakthrough. Donna, who
is great at bridging the gap between Technology and Nursing.
I give my thanks also to the Landis Homes management team for their
nomination and their kind encouragement. They lead well in honoring
employees, making it a great place to work so that the ministry of
Landis Homes can be accomplished: to serve aging adults and their
families by honoring and enriching their lives in a community of
Christ-like love.

Serving One Another
My Greatest Award
By Corrina Burkholder, Recipient of the LeadingAgePA* Non-licensed Caregiver of the Year 2011
Winning the Caregiver of the Year Award has been an extraordinary experience for me.
I was surprised and honored. The brunch and awards ceremony were special for me
since I was able to invite both some residents and co-workers who have helped be
supportive of me. I have the group photo taken that day on my bookshelf at home.
I treasure this photo since one of my dear resident friends has since passed away.
She stated that she felt honored to be there to share my special day and I was
honored and blessed by her being there as well.
I appreciate the dedication of my fellow
workers on the personal care team. We
work together to find creative ways to honor
and enrich each life we touch. Landis Homes
is a special place. Our leaders mentor these
qualities and value our insights. That
empowers us to serve in creative and
unique ways. I appreciate also how other
departments like housekeeping, dining,
life enrichment and nursing support
and assist each other. I feel that my
award recognizes not just me, but the
entire team. We all work together to be the best we can be. Every person
makes a difference in the lives of those we serve. Seeing residents enjoying
life and smiling are still my greatest “awards.”

Doing for Others
By Ada Blank, Adult Day Services Client
“I retired when I was 65 and
started coming to the center
at Eden West. Now I am 80
and I still enjoy coming. I like
the food - it is great. And the
companionship is too.
I enjoy riding the
bus to get to the
center. It is like
taking a tour.
Making
blankets for
Project Linus*
makes me feel
good. I enjoy it and I like that I am
doing something for someone else. The
staff taught me what to do and even
though I can’t sew, I am able to make the
blankets. It keeps my hands busy.
I don’t have any idea how many
blankets I have made but I know they
go to people who need them.
I saw a list of where the blankets go.
Like when there is a fire, they go to
the fire victims. The blankets are nice
because there are no seams and they
are soft.”

can represent a percentage of the
estate, same share as each child
or other representation. The gift
can be designated for a particular
fund or it can be unrestricted.
Charitable Gift Annuity
A Landis Homes gift annuity is
a simple contractual agreement
between a donor and Landis
Homes in which assets are given
in exchange for payments for life.
It includes valuable tax benefits.
Life Insurance
A policy can be donated outright
or the donor can name Landis
Homes as the beneficiary of the
policy. Either way there is a tax
deduction for the giver.
IRA Distributions
The law providing an outright
charitable gift of IRA funds expired

gift provision.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Appreciated assets like real estate

an agreed-upon rate.
Charitable Lead Trust
This is a unique tool that allows
one to use an income producing
asset to pay interest to Landis

asset principal or pass it on to
heirs after a designated period
of time.

The Children’s Learning Center at
Landis Homes recently achieved
accreditation by the National
Association for the Education of
Young Children (NAEYC). NAEYC
is the world's largest organization
working to improve the well-being
of young children, with particular
focus on the quality of educational
and developmental services for
all children from birth through
age eight years. The Children’s
Learning Center opened in 2004 and
is a program managed by Hildebrandt Learning Centers. About 5% of those enrolled
at the center are children of Landis Homes employees while 95% are from families in
the surrounding community.
Serving One Another

Learning opportunities available to the larger community
included the Speakers Resource Listing, senior-focused
educational programs, collecting history series and seminars
on medical issues.
• Family Caregiver Fair

caregiver fair which offered information on many products
and services available in the community. There were also
a number of health stands with acuity tests and services for
those who attended.

community groups for families of persons with memory loss
and with Parkinson’s disease. Monthly meetings are places

Pastoral Services
Chaplains provide spiritual support and guidance to residents, families,
team members and volunteers. Pastoral services to the community
include annual pastor’s breakfast, services of remembrance,
and multiple prayer groups for worldwide and
local ministries.
Donna Mack Shenk began in the new position
of Director of Pastoral Services and Church
Relations. This supports a new initiative by
the board of directors to continue to offer
resources and to make stronger connections
with local congregations.
Volunteering

The Story of the White Rose
The watercolor “Mature White Rose” was completed in time for a oneperson art exhibit by Eva Beidler in 1993 at People’s Place Gallery in
Intercourse, Pennsylvania, where Louise Stoltzfus was the curator. Eva
said the inspiration came from a late summer rose that actually had some
unusual coloring of gold and rust which she tried to represent in her
piece.
Louise later told Eva she had received the painting as a gift. It hung in
Louise’s home for many years. In 1995 when what is now the Azalea
Room at Landis Homes was being created along with the building of
Harvest View, a small group of board members and team members
formed a committee to meet with the People’s Place Gallery to gather
and purchase artwork for these new spaces. Louise Stoltzfus was very
closely involved in this process.
One of the pieces the committee considered was the watercolor
“Azalea” by Eva Beidler (pictured below left) and it was quickly
decided it was out of our price range. Louise along with Luke
Bomberger (board member, committee member and now Harvest View resident) came up with the idea of
finding 10 people to each contribute something to purchase the piece. The contributors were found and this is
how the Azalea Room got its name.
Later, Louise Stoltzfus became a Landis Homes board
member and served for several years. She also wrote
12 books including the book “Quiet Shouts” in which
she interviewed a number of female church leaders
including some Landis Homes residents.
After Louise passed away in 2002, her “White Rose”
painting by Eva Beidler went to her brother, Alph
Stoltzfus. Alph contacted Landis Homes in 2011,
saying he wanted to sell the painting to help fund
the further education of his daughters, Louise’s
nieces. Knowing the relationship Louise had with
Landis Homes and the location of another Beidler
piece, he contacted Landis Homes to offer the right of
first refusal. Again a group of board members and team members made it possible through their combined
donations to purchase the piece which is destined to hang in the appropriately named “Rose” dining room
following renovations this fall.
Landis Homes also had prints made of the “White Rose,” which
Eva Beidler signed and numbered as limited edition prints. The
only condition she asked is that they not be sold for profit, but
made as gifts or used to raise benevolent care gifts for residents in
financial need. This painting which started as gift of inspiration
and a gift of appreciation will continue to be a gift to those who
encounter it now and in the future.
Upon seeing the original painting again after 18 years, Eva shared,
“….I know now, after painting, showing and selling my work for
many years, that art is a gift. It is a gift, not just in terms of ‘talent’
but more importantly, in terms of gift to others. For me, art is
a calling, a means of service. Yes, I paint to express myself, and
then, it seems to work best if I share it.”
