Community, Together


“A question I am often asked is how I like


living at SVL, and my answer is always the same. I wouldn’t want


to live anywhere else,” said Eileen.


Eileen has not regretted her decision.


“I especially like the small number of apartments — 36 in all,” she shared. “Compared with large and ever expanding retirement villages elsewhere, it is possible to know everyone who lives here by name. I keep a floorplan chart on my refrigerator that shows who lives in each apartment. Te chart is updated when new tenants move in.”


According to Eileen, the place that gets the most use during warm months is the deck. Until the coronavirus crisis began, gathering on the deck was a great opportunity to reconnect with other residents.


“Another benefit of living at SVL is the weekly menu provided by Landis Communities that includes main dishes, soups and rotisserie chicken that can be delivered right to your door,” said Eileen. “Tis is the safest way to get good, nourishing food when it is still less than completely safe to go to grocery stores — or even market, for that matter. I often have one of their soups for a quick and nourishing meal. ”


“Although I haven’t needed to use the home care services of Landis At Home, it is a comfort and reassurance to know these services are available if and when they are needed.”


Eileen said the greatest benefit to living at SVL is that personnel in the front office are always available, either in person or by phone, especially Residence Manager, Melissa Ressler; Director of Landis Quality Living, Ed Kaminski; Director of Operations for Community Initiatives, Dot Hartman; and the MSW volunteer from Millersville University, Tyler Cook.


“A question I am often asked is how I like living at SVL, and my answer is always the same. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else,” said Eileen.


“I’ve been telling my friends that SVL is absolutely the best and safest place to be living in this crisis!” Landis.org | FLOURISH | Summer 2020 • 11
