As I look at this issue of FLOURISH, I can’t help but think how the joys we experience in life often get disrupted or put on hold. Sometimes this happens because we move, start a new job, are caring for a loved one, or – as we have experienced this past year – need to navigate a global pandemic!
CULTIVATING LIFE S
everal of the stories you are about to read share how Landis Communities residents and clients are discovering how these joys can come back to us in time. From gardening and collecting
trains at Landis Homes, to picking dandelions at Welsh Mountain Home, drawing at Landis Adult Day Services, and starting a new Lancaster podcast like the Steeple View Lofts resident—these residents and clients are once again engaging in activities that bring them fulfillment and true happiness. Tey are Cultivating Life through Meaningful Living, Wellness, Growth, and Community! I hope these stories will encourage you to bring back into your life the things that once brought you joy but may have been disrupted or put on hold. It is a new season!
It is also a new season for one of our team members who has been instrumental in the creation of FLOURISH. Deb Laws-Landis, Director of Marketing & Communications, retired on June 30, 2021, after serving for 28 years at Landis Homes and Landis Communities. Deb was editor of the Horizons newsletter for 25 years, was instrumental in the production of both the 30-year and 50-year history books for Landis Homes, and coordinated much of the planning of the Landis Homes’ 50th Anniversary celebration in 2014. She was the content manager for Landis Homes website for over 20 years. Deb helped initiate the Explore Retirement Living collaboration with other retirement communities and was responsible for advertising and marketing materials. We are incredibly grateful for the many years Deb has served the residents, clients, and team members of Landis Homes and Landis Communities. She will be missed!
Wishing you joy and peace as you continue to cultivate life!

Life, Together
