from the president
Dear Friends,
In May we held the annual meeting of Albright Care Services.
A favorite feature of the meeting is the revealing of the Best of the
Best award winners. This issue of Called to Serve congratulates
the 2014 winners. Best of the Best are awards that recognize
service above and beyond the call of duty—one individual on each
campus who deserves a special thank you. With 618 employees
Shaun Smith (right) with RiverWoods resident
on six campuses, and so many dedicated people, we struggle to
and board member Robert S. Ryan
choose just a few! Employees are nominated by their peers. Often,
nominations are supported by residents and families as well. I am proud to work with the award winners and all of the
nominees as these employees will help Albright take the next steps forward in our master plan.
RiverWoods and Normandie Ridge have physical campus needs that will be addressed in the coming year. We will
make capital improvements that complement our commitment to delivering the best care available for our residents.
At Normandie Ridge we will reposition the common space and nurses’ station in the nursing care center, and in
personal care, take the next leap from our success with the Serenity Garden to focus on a dedicated memory care center.
At RiverWoods, we tackle the most aged and frail wings of the nursing care center with a replace and remodel plan that
addresses the most critical needs in order to create more efficient neighborhoods.
Your opinions and advice have helped shape these directions for the future of Normandie Ridge and RiverWoods.
In the coming months you will have an opportunity to learn how you can financially support these projects
and I know you will find some exciting opportunities in which to participate!
I hope you enjoy reading about our Best of the Best! Their achievement inspires me to reach for my best every day
—I hope it inspires you too!
Sincerely,
Shaun T. Smith
President and CEO

Connections
Summer 2014
RiverWoods and Normandie Ridge are partnering with Gen–Connect to help seniors
re-think technology. Classes are helping residents see how easy it is to use an iPad
and discover ways they can experience increased independence through the use of
applications (apps). Some of the featured apps include games to encourage brain fitness,
tools for communicating with family and friends, books, magazines, and music.
The classes are also open to non-residents.

A
lbright is proud to
welcome Keith S.
Kuzio as its new Board
Chair. Keith joined
the Board in 2008 and
shares his thoughts on
his upcoming term:
“My hope for the
coming year is that I
will continue to provide the strong, capable board
leadership that Albright has enjoyed from its past
chairs. My goal for the Board and management
team is to maintain agility, anticipate ongoing
transformative changes in healthcare delivery,
and lead and inspire our dedicated employees
to be proactively engaged so that we continue to
achieve high-quality services for our residents
and participants.
We see this agility demonstrated in the master
plan implementation at Normandie Ridge and
RiverWoods. Planned projects will provide state
of-the-art facilities on both campuses in a multiyear, phased construction approach that allows
for adjustments to designs and scale of projects as
changes occur in the senior living environment.
As the LIFE programs graduate from start-up
operations, the same commitment to proactive
management is necessary to ensure that each
program continues to efficiently serve the needs
of populations in three diverse communities.
With the entire team we will see these programs
strengthened in ways that support Albright’s
mission for abundant living.”
Keith Kuzio is President and CEO of
Larson Design Group.

expanded role, Matt is responsible for the executive
oversight and management of LIFE Lancaster, LIFE
Lebanon, and LIFE Lycoming/Clinton in Williamsport.
“Consistent job responsibilities and processes allow
information gained at one site to be leveraged across all
locations,” explains Matt. “We’re creating a model with
more defined roles and operations to facilitate the sharing
of resources.”
Matthew Hazen
John McDonough
O
ne of the biggest challenges facing a multisite organization like Albright Care Services is
ensuring consistent high quality at each location—
consistent practices, consistent responsibilities, and
above all, consistent exceptional care. Albright operates
three LIFE sites—one each in Lancaster, Lebanon,
and Williamsport. LIFE is an acronym for Living
Independently for Elders and is an all-inclusive
program of care for the elderly. A significant element
of LIFE is the opportunity for participants to remain
living in the place they call home, for as long as it is
safe. LIFE Lycoming is our oldest site, having celebrated
its sixth anniversary this past summer. LIFE Lebanon
is our youngest site, which will have been open three
years in the fall of 2014. While each of the programs
serves a diverse community of families and has its own
independent staffing, all three now enjoy the managerial
oversight of a regional team of professionals.
Matthew Hazen was recently promoted to Regional
Executive Director of LIFE Programs. Previously he was
the Executive Director at LIFE Lancaster. In his newly
Summer 2014
John McDonough was recently promoted to Associate
Director of LIFE Programs and Operations. John earned
his nursing home administrator’s license earlier this
year. In his new role, John will provide organizational
support to the Chief Operating Officer and assist with
the management and operation of the LIFE programs
in coordination with the Regional Director. Previously
John was the Director of Census Development for
Albright Care Services. John will continue to oversee
census development, marketing and sales efforts.
“As our programs continue to grow, we’re refining how
we think about the provision of care throughout the
organization,” says John. “It is essential that our service
offerings correspond with the needs of our community
and that we remain fiscally responsible.”
John and Matt working together offer a strategy to share
best practice and delivery of care models among the
LIFE sites, ensuring exceptional care for all participants.

“Did you hear the GOOD news?”
R
iverWoods is delighted to welcome back the Rev. Peter Geschwindner as Chaplain. Many of
you know Peter’s long and successful history with Albright. Peter was elected to the Albright
Care Services Board of Trustees in 1992. He served as Board Chair from 1995-1998, and then left
the Board in 1999 to become Chaplain at RiverWoods. In 2001, he was promoted to Vice President
for Fund Development, a position he held for 10 years. After becoming Vice President of Mission
Enhancement early in 2011, Peter felt a calling back to the local church and in July of that same
year said goodbye to Albright, accepting an appointment as pastor of Tunkhannock UMC.
A 1974 graduate of Albright College in Reading, PA, and a 1978 graduate of Garrett-Evangelical
Theological Seminary in Evanston, IL, Peter was ordained Deacon in 1977 and Elder in 1979 in
The United Methodist Church.
When asked what drew him back to RiverWoods he replied,
“I have cherished the mission and ministry of this organization
from the first time I visited here nearly 30 years ago. And I’ve
always said that I have a personal investment in our maintaining
the highest level of care because I fully expect and prayerfully
hope that one day I will be a resident here!”
There are many residents and staff at RiverWoods who remember
Peter’s early connections with Albright. As the announcement
circulated that he was returning to RiverWoods, resident Phyllis
Close commented, “It isn’t just folks saying, ‘Did you hear the
news?’ (about Peter coming back). They are saying, ‘Did you
hear the GOOD news?!’”
We welcome back our good friend and colleague
Peter Geschwindner and look forward to his ministry
among us!

The Robert L. and Helen F. Stanton
Dining &
Community
Room
V
alentine’s Day 2014 was a day to remember two very special
friends, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stanton. Bob and Helen were
longtime residents of RiverWoods. They were generous, kind and
compassionate. Bob passed away in January 2013 following Helen’s
death six years earlier. It was a loss of immense proportion not
only to the RiverWoods family but the larger community as well.
The Robert L. and Helen F. Stanton
Dining and Community Room.
Dedicated in honor and memory
of Helen Fairchild Stanton
and Robert Lowry Stanton.
Former residents, great friends to many
and generous supporters of RiverWoods,
Mr. and Mrs. Stanton’s kindness and
compassion will be remembered always.
8
The Stantons believed in RiverWoods, supporting its mission
to serve the needs of others. During their lifetime they created
several charitable gift annuities with RiverWoods as the
beneficiary. Bob and Helen enjoyed many years of consecutive,
equal annuity payments. After Bob’s death, it was decided that
this most important gift, the annuity residual, would do the most
good if used to benefit the Stantons’ friends and neighbors at
RiverWoods through support of the Riverview Manor Dining
and Community Room.
On February 14, 2014, residents, friends and family gathered
for the dedication of the Robert L. and Helen F. Stanton Dining
and Community Room. The Stanton Dining Room, located near
the Riverview Manor entrance, features a country kitchen, an all
season room with natural lighting, a private dining space that seats
eight comfortably, a fireplace lounge, two televisions, and a coffee
and snack bar. It is enjoyed by residents and their families for
dining, recreation, entertaining, and quiet afternoons near
the fireplace.

The Stanton Room’s all season dining room
was dedicated in honor of the Reverend
Dr. Robert L. Close and Phyllis E. Close,
made possible through the generosity
of George and Margaret Keller.
The Stanton Room’s community activity
lounge was dedicated to the Reverend
Vernon and Gladys Eichelberger by their
daughter and son-in-law, DiAnn Baxley
and Michael Alliston.
The Stanton Dining Room complements
the RidgeCrest Restaurant and doubles
the seating capacity for independent and
personal care residents.
RiverWoods is grateful for the many
contributions that made the Stanton Dining
Room possible. Their generosity supports
Albright’s commitment to providing
exceptional care and abundant living
through all levels of residential living.

assets, agrees to pay a
fixed sum of money for

Congratulations to Honored Employees
A
t the 2014 Albright Care Services annual
meeting, four employees received the Best
of the Best award. Each was honored with
special recognition for achieving excellence in
demonstrating the mission of Albright each day
in her service to RiverWoods, Normandie Ridge,
Albright LIFE, Warrior Run Manor, the Central
Office and Pharmacy. In addition, the Seneca S.
Foote Servant Leadership Award was given to
an employee who exemplifies compassion, moral
authority and a collaborative work style.
“Every job is important in a senior living
community.” That’s what longtime employee
Liz Fake said many years ago to Amy Young,
who worked at Normandie Ridge as an
intern. Now the Executive Director, Amy
recalls the impact that statement had on her
own recognition of the variety of important
jobs occurring daily on the campus. Liz, a
housekeeper in her 21st year, continues to give
her very best, often arriving at work early enough
to share a cup of coffee with residents, knowing
that a personal connection helps residents feel
more at home. Congratulations Liz on your
Best of the Best award!

Valerie Morris, Clinical Coordinator for Riverview Manor on
the RiverWoods Campus, presented the Best of the Best to
Bobbi Ralston, personal care aide and medical technician.
Bobbi is nicknamed ‘MacGyver’ in recognition of her ability to
fix just about anything. In her remarks, Val shared that one of
the residents in Bobbi’s care said, “Bobbi is always willing to do
whatever we need, when we need it. And we can always count
on her to follow through when she says that she will.” Just like
MacGyver! RiverWoods is proud and lucky to have a talented
and dedicated employee in Bobbi Ralston.

Introducing the Best of the Best at Albright
LIFE, Regional LIFE Director Matt Hazen
commented that Amber Ressel, lead program
assistant at LIFE Lancaster, has helped to build
the program to its current level of more than 90
participants. Amber is quick to see what needs to
be done and say, ‘I’ll take care of it.’ She interacts
with each participant in a way that shows she
respects their wisdom, often asking their advice
on how to do things well. “I do it to learn and to
get a smile,” Amber shared, laughing. Well, we’re
smiling too!
Lead Billing Assistant Peg Haas received the
Best of the Best award representing the Central
Office/Pharmacy/Warrior Run Manor. John
Blessing, Controller, spoke of Peg’s expertise
with regard to her relationships: “Peg treats residents and staff
with dignity and respect, and is an excellent teacher.” And staff
are often the beneficiaries of her baking talents, as she frequently
brings in homemade treats. Thank you, Peg!! Peg began working
on the RiverWoods campus while still a high school student.
Over the years she has held various positions in dietary and in
the central office billing department.
This year’s Seneca S. Foote Servant Leadership award was
given to Dawn Orzehowski, sales and marketing director for
RiverWoods. Executive Director of RiverWoods Nea Brown
noted that Dawn has worked at RiverWoods for nine years and is
a compassionate leader who goes the extra mile to ensure the best
quality of life for residents of RiverWoods. In receiving the award,
Dawn joked, “I always have a lot to say, but today, I’m speechless!”
Congratulations to all of our 2014 award recipients!

Serenity Garden Committee Receives Service Award
I
n June 2014, at the annual meeting of LeadingAge PA,
the Serenity Garden Committee received a prestigious
award: Volunteer of the Year - Group. Nominated by
employees at Normandie Ridge and Albright Care
Services, the Serenity Garden Committee was among
some of the most inspiring recipients of annual awards
given to dedicated employees, committed volunteers
and loyal donors from senior living communities all
across Pennsylvania.
12
LeadingAge PA seeks to advance leadership in aging
through innovation. Together we create practices that
transform how we serve our aging population. We
develop services that meet older adults’ needs and
preferences. And we advocate to advance the interests
of the aging consumer.
The Serenity Garden was the unique vision of a group
of residents who recognized the need for outdoor space
that could be enjoyed by all members of the Normandie
Ridge family. The Serenity Garden Planning Committee
includes Bruce Bupp, Marilyn Crawford, Don Dubiel,
Ronnie Ehrhart, George Foley, Bob Peel, and Tom
Scarborough, all residents of Normandie Ridge.
AlbrightCare.org
Additional members are Carolyn Sterner, past president of the
Normandie Ridge Auxiliary, and Chad Mondorff, Albright Care
Services’ IT Educator and Liaison.
“We are so grateful for all of the work devoted to the Serenity
Garden by this loyal volunteer committee. These individuals were
the driving force behind getting this important project underway
and seeing it through to completion.”
Amy Young
Normandie Ridge, Executive Director
This committee of nine has made an outstanding contribution
to residents, neighbors, and extended families of Normandie
Ridge. Their passionate commitment to a provision of care
for seniors in need and their subsequent achievement of a
beautiful, secure space filled with tranquility can be seen
in the Normandie Ridge Serenity Garden. These volunteers
have embraced our mission—to encourage abundant living
by anticipating and responding to the needs of the aging and
frail. They believe in Normandie Ridge and support the shared
vision of LeadingAge PA to enhance the field of aging services.
They have gone above and beyond in their volunteerism, and
their efforts are enhancing the everyday life experiences of their
neighbors.
May we all be inspired and encouraged to achieve that which
is within our reach as these volunteers have done through their
leadership and advocacy for senior services.

Albright Care Services
is a not-for-profit organization affiliated in faith
with The United Methodist Church. Our mission is
to care for the senior population in the communities
in which we operate facilities in Pennsylvania.
In particular, we strive to meet the housing and
healthcare needs of the aging and frail in ways that
help seniors age gracefully and with dignity.
Albright operates two independent senior living
communities with a full continuum of care—
RiverWoods in Lewisburg and Normandie Ridge in
York. Albright operates LIFE (Living Independently
for Elders) programs, which provide health, social and
spiritual day care in three communities—Lancaster,
Lebanon and Williamsport. Albright also manages
Warrior Run Manor in Watsontown, a HUD housing
complex for the disabled and elderly.
Albright Care Services provides housing and
healthcare services for more than 1,200 seniors in
seven counties. As a not-for-profit organization,
Albright is committed to meeting the continually
changing needs of the communities we serve and is
grateful for the ongoing financial support of family,
friends and neighbors within those communities.
