Serving One Another Since 1964

Established in 1964, Landis Homes, located near Lititz, PA, is a not-for-profit retirement community which is home to 800 persons living in cottages, apartments, suites, personal care and healthcare. Another 100 persons are served on a weekly basis in one of the two adult day services centers on the 114-acre campus, which is surrounded by Lancaster County farmland.

The Pathways Institute for Lifelong Learning at Landis Homes is celebrating 10 years of programming! “The concept and importance of lifelong learning has become increasingly recognized and popular over the past decade or so throughout the United States and certainly in Pennsylvania,” says Susan Stauffer, director. “It is clear that continued learning is a very important aspect of wellness, and it has become popular because it is also enjoyable, stimulating and a great way to connect with others who have such interests.” The Fall Kick-off and 10th Anniversary Celebration will be held at Calvary Church on Tuesday, July 24 from 1:30-3:30 pm.
Pathways Institute marks 10 years of lifelong learning
Ten years ago, Susan Stauffer saw an opportunity to provide lifelong learning and enrichment to people 55 and older.

Swan Update: Nest is empty and Willa is out on the pond. She moved the eggs again, this time to the stones and in the pond. Most likely the eggs were infertile. Swan parents know when something is wrong with eggs and will not spend time tending eggs that have no viable chance of hatching. Sometimes swans lay a second clutch of eggs.
