LEAMAN WOODS
There is a Leaman Woods located on the grounds of Landis Homes.
Through it, all residents are invited to anytime freely roam.
Several paths of asphalt provide adequate access through
For pedestrians, walkers, wheelchairs and even scooters, too.
Along the paths, are benches, where folks can stop to rest.
There, they can relax, mediate, ponder, and think thoughts that are the very best.
This woodsy environment invites chipmunks and squirrels to come and play.
They are rarely seen at nighttime, but are usually seen during the day.

This month we shine the volunteer spotlight on Nancy Hill. Nancy has been a resident of Landis Homes since 2013. She previously volunteered as a greeter at Lancaster General Hospital, and after moving to Landis Homes, she looked for a similar way to volunteer on campus. She quickly volunteered to be a greeter at the Heritage Entrance, and soon began volunteering as a Gift Shop Cashier as well. She also still volunteers for her home church. Nancy is 81 and has been volunteering at Landis Homes for 5½ years. She enjoys helping others and staying busy, and routinely picks up additional volunteering when substitutes are needed. She is a wonderful blessing to the Landis Homes volunteer team!
