“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.”
* Project Linus is a national, non-proft organization providing love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized or otherwise in need, through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.”
"Glenn was very comfortable (at Landis Homes) and enjoyed the staff, dining room attendants, social workers, maintenance and anyone he came in contact with... I just wanted to thank you for taking such good care of Glenn." -Sandy Smith
“This is my support group. If I were home I would be by myself. I really need other people – I care about them.” -- Carol G., Adult Day Services client
