At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, residents of Landis Homes would line a roadway into the Lititz campus on Friday afternoons, cheering on the retirement communityâs workers with signs and noisemakers as they left or arrived for work.
When the campus resident council suggested a more permanent show of appreciation, Landis Homes residents donated over $10,000 toward a Garden of Gratitude, a new park on two-thirds of an acre featuring walkways, greenery and a gazebo offering views of surrounding farmland.
Not every retirement community has such a tangible symbol of gratitude, but many share the sentiment.
âThe pandemic has brought out an appreciation of how good we had it before and has been a reminder of how important community and family are,â says Jonathan Hollinger, CEO of Pleasant View Communities.
Judy Coble stepped outside her Manheim Township home on Saturday afternoon expecting to go on a walk with her daughter.
Instead, the 78-year-old mother and grandmother was met with a 15-minute musical serenade that included songs such as âAmazing Grace.â
âShe was completely clueless, which was great,â said Cobleâs daughter Vicki Saunders, 56, who helped organize the Mother s Day gift with the help of Music for Everyone as part of their âMusic for Momsâ event on Saturday.
The series of truncated, socially distant front porch concerts â the first-ever of its kind offered by Music for Everyone â was a success, said musical duo Lisa Fairman, 57, and Dave Lefever, 57, who performed outside Coble s home.

This property is in School Lane Hills, a neighborhood about a mile west of the city of Lancaster, so it is within walking distance of Lancaster Central Market, the Fulton Theatre and numerous shops and restaurants. It is a few blocks south of Buchanan Park and the campus of Franklin & Marshall College. Wheatland, the Federal-style house to which President James Buchanan retired after failing to prevent the United States from descending into civil war, is a mile down the road (you can visit the house virtually during the pandemic).
