A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear friends,This issue of the Messenger is our annual opportunity to look back and reflect on the year that was, to thank all of you who supported this ministry in so many ways, and to offer a glimpse of the year to come. Our 2017 Fiscal Year (July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017) was dynamic. Just a few highlights include:

• the celebration of Phoebe Berks’ 25th anniversary

• the creation of Comforting Home Care by Phoebe

• the introduction of Customer Driven Culture

• the initial success of our Endowment for Clinical Pastoral Education campaign

• the completion of the renovations to the Trexler Wing at Phoebe Allentown

• significant growth in Pathstones by Phoebe and Phoebe Pharmacy

• and so many more.

I could go on and on with examples, but the takeaway is that Phoebe is a vibrant organization, providing better opportunities and more services, and enhancing the quality of life for more older adults than ever. The health care industry certainly continues to present challenges, but with world-class employees and the support of hundreds of volunteers, congregations, and donors, we continue to meet these challenges head-on, embracing the opportunity to rethink old models that no longer work and adopt those that ensure Phoebe’s success.

As I mentioned, this issue also allows us to share some of what’s to come. That includes the continuing impact of our Customer Driven Culture and the strengthening bonds between Phoebe and the many communities of which we are a part. I hope that you’re as excited as I am. We continue to seek to honor God in all that we do.

Thank you, as always, for your prayers and support.

Building Community | PHOEBE BERKS

UNRETIRED:

Kay Fox spent a few years working on a farm before retiring. These days she

can be found not just at cat shelters, but at equestrian shows in Reading, and singing with the Reading Choral

Society anywhere from here to Maine.

Ditching the Disappearing Act

Moving to a retirement community shouldn’t mean you disappear from public life. These residents at Phoebe Berks are unretiring, and they’re more active and visible than ever.

For many people, retirement is about taking a deep breath and a big step back. It’s a chance to put down some of the balls we’ve been juggling for forty years

and focus on pursuing activities we may not have had time for until now. For some of us, anyway. For others, it’s more reason than ever to become—or remain—active, contributing members of the broader community.

“You’re not put into a closet when you retire,” says Kay Fox. She’s a resident of Phoebe Berks Village, our independent living community in Wernersville, Pennsylvania. Before

Ditching the Disappearing Act

moving to Phoebe, Fox was working on a farm in New York—a full time job that left little room for traveling or other activities. These days she’s busy acting as a minor official at equestrian shows, singing in the Reading Choral Society, and volunteering three times a week at a cat shelter.

“Some people think you’re out of commission when you move to a retirement community; you’re not!” Fox continues. “You’re still your own person. Now that I’m living at Phoebe I can do more things!”

The Phoebe Berks lifestyle encourages this kind of involvement in every way. “Our residents love the active lifestyle we offer here,” says Star High, Executive Director of Phoebe Berks. “They move here for the convenience of no grass cutting, snow shoveling, or home maintenance—not to sit in a rocking chair and watch television. Many of our residents still have jobs in the community on a part-time or volunteer status.”

Building Community | PHOEBE BERKS

Of course, the power to make the most of retirement lies within each individual. “It’s up to you,” says Barbara Davis, “you can do as much as you want.” Davis has been volunteering once a week at the Western Berks Free Medical Clinic for 15 years. Based in the St. Daniel’s Lutheran Church in Robesonia—where she and her husband are highly active members—the clinic offers free medical services to people between the ages of 18 and 65. Davis serves on the board and helps at the clinic writing grants and checking in patients.

“Volunteering is an important part of making you feel needed and like you’re giving back to the community,” says Davis. She and her husband Fred moved to Phoebe Berks last year after one of Fred’s legs was amputated. They live in an apartment that’s easier to navigate than their two-story home was. Fred is now becoming involved with Reading Health as a mentor to new amputees.

Davis is also involved in her church and helps out at the hospital, too, knitting items to donate to patients. And it's not all work, no play. She and Fred spend five months a year in Florida, something Phoebe Berks encourages its residents to do by offering halved rates on apartments and cottages for snowbirds. Like many of their neighbors, the Davises are models of active retirement, and they don’t plan to slow down any time soon. “As long as we can drive and we’re mobile,” says Dorothy, “we’ll keep doing things we like to do.”

Some people find new adventures to take on in retirement. Others simply carry on doing what they always did, like Ed Schofer. He retired in 1989 from the Conrad Weiser Area School District where he had taught ninth-grade science and then served as an elementary school guidance counselor. After retiring,

Fourteen years ago, Barbara Davis and a few others established the Western Berks Free Medical Clinic in Robesonia. She’s still a board member and a dedicated volunteer there.


Schofer kept on working in the guidance office, helping with paperwork for about 10-15 years. Then he decided to become a volunteer. He reports every morning to write late passes and absentee excuses, sort and deliver mail, and perform other light office duties. “I just like what I’m doing,” says Schofer.

There are scores of residents who are just as active, both within their community at Phoebe Berks and outside it. High says of the more than 300 volunteers at Phoebe Berks that many are independent living residents. Fox volunteers in the Phoebe Berks Village gift shop and helps transport

residents in the health care center to the beauty salon. She has also sung with the community choral group, the Choraleers. Schofer is on the Village church committee; he also drives for Western Berks Shepherding Ministries and helps with transporting health care center residents.

“Part of our philosophy here is that age is a non-factor,” says High. “If you take good care of yourself by eating healthy, exercising daily, and engaging in an active social life, you feel much younger than your numerical age. We empower our residents to ask for what they need and live this kind of lifestyle.”

Learn more about lifestyles at Phoebe Berks by visiting phoebe.org/berks; or call 610-927-8171 to talk about independent living apartments available now. Live your best life today!

With more than 40 years under his belt in the same school district, Ed Schofer is a true veteran. He’s retired from teaching and guidance counseling, but he still volunteers in

the office where he used to work, meeting the new group of students every year.

Building Community | PHOEBE ALLENTOWN

for the BetterThere’s something new at Phoebe Allentown—and it’s changing the way residents, staff, and family interact as a community.

It’s a bright, bustling morning at Phoebe Allentown— a day like any other. A quick glance at one of the neighborhoods reveals residents relaxing in the

community lounges in the Trexler Wing, or enjoying the fresh air on the newly completed patio outside. Family members are visiting and some are even helping out with the round of games and activities led by community life staff and volunteers. It’s a vibrant community in every sense of the word.

This is not an unusual picture for Phoebe, but what has changed at Phoebe Allentown is the way the neighborhoods—and everyone who lives and works in them—have been decentralized. It’s impacted everyone in positive ways, bringing staff closer to residents, getting family more involved, and making volunteers more efficient and available to everyone.

Diane Kendra, Community Life Coordinator on Trexler Way, the third floor neighborhood in the west wing,

CHANGE


for the Better

says one of the biggest changes for her has been a simple one. Decentralizing has meant less time spent transporting residents from one end of the building to another. Meals and activities take place on neighborhoods now—self-contained communities within the larger community of Phoebe Allentown—which means less time spent moving and more time spent in quality engagement with residents every day.

“Everything is right at my fingertips,” says Kendra, “You can engage better with the residents because they can see you better, they can hear you better. You can get more interaction, more connection.”

This is exactly the kind of thing Phoebe’s key leadership was aiming for when the repositioning plan began rolling out last year. “It’s exciting to hear staff getting excited about working smarter and working together,” says Lauren Everett, Administrator for Phoebe Allentown.

Staff and family members feel the change too. Direct care workers (nurses, social workers, and community life staff) are more closely integrated than ever before, communicating and helping each other more efficiently. Family members, more familiar and comfortable with the smaller environments, are getting more involved and helping out with activities. “People are getting more intimate,” says Kendra.

The changes implemented in January facilitated upgrading some residents to newer rooms in recently remodeled areas. Roberta Suib was one of these residents, and she says she couldn’t be happier with the transition. “It’s been very easy and I’m very comfortable with it,” says Suib. “They’re very alert to your needs here and they try to accommodate you in everything. I’ve had no problems at all.”

Administration at Phoebe Allentown is dedicated to making the transition as smooth as possible for everyone involved. “We’re actively meeting with neighborhood teams to get more feedback about what’s working and what’s not working in their new environments,” says Everett. “We’ll be rolling out more team-building activities in hopes that our neighborhoods truly start to feel like family.”

Kendra says one of the most important things is that she and other staff members are more accessible now than ever. “Residents stop me in the hallway, ask me when a program is starting or what’s happening this week. They bring up concerns and compliments. It’s homey.”

These changes are a big undertaking, but the staff has handled it with a readiness and willingness that speaks to their dedication to resident welfare. “We’re all working towards the common goal of Customer Driven Culture,” says Everett, “eliminating what doesn’t add value to our residents and enhancing what does.” It is this that makes Phoebe the thriving community it is: an unfaltering commitment to excellence and doing the best for our residents.

To learn more about Phoebe Allentown, visit phoebe.org/allentown.

Phoebe would like to thank the Century Fund and the Harry C. Trexler Trust for their generous donations to the Phoebe Allentown Health Care Center. Their donations went directly to renovations of the Trexler Wing and the outdoor patio. The interior was laid out with open concept common areas and updated resident rooms. The exterior façade was refreshed to match the recently upgraded East Annex. Renovations also included new spas, bath and shower spaces, meeting rooms, common areas with new furniture and amenities, neighborhood kitchens, and a new HVAC system.

Both the Century Fund and the Harry C. Trexler Trust have been supporting Phoebe for more than 20 years. Their partnership with Phoebe has made an indelible impact on our residents and the community. Thank you!

A resident of the health care center since 2016, Roberta Suib has witnessed Phoebe Allentown's transformation firsthand.

Building Community | PHOEBE WYNCOTE

W hen Henrietta Edelschein talks about the children that visit her home at Phoebe Wyncote from All Hallows Nursery School,

she lights up with contagious enthusiasm. Through their words and smiles, it’s obvious that the residents at Phoebe Wyncote cherish the longstanding and frequent visits from the nursery children ranging in age from three to five years old, and the children get just as much enjoyment out of the visits.

Phoebe Wyncote’s relationship with All Hallows Nursery School dates back at least 20 years. Janet Gilman, the school’s director, says the regular visits to Phoebe Wyncote

are an integral part of the children’s schedule each school year. “When potential new students are touring the school with their parents, telling them about our monthly visits to Phoebe Wyncote is part of every tour explanation I give,” says Gilman. “I think it adds an intergenerational experience that is very valuable to the children.”

All Hallows makes visits to Phoebe Wyncote about once a month, September through May, with an extra one in October for a Halloween costume day. All Hallows Episcopal Church, with which the nursery school shares a building, is located just a few hundred feet from Phoebe Wyncote, so in good weather Gilman and

The children of All Hallows Nursery School are favorite visitors at Phoebe Wyncote.


the children can walk there. On a typical visit, the children greet the residents, whom they call their “grandmas and grandpas,” in Phoebe Wyncote’s chapel and activity area. The group reads a story together, or the children rehearse a song they’ve learned for the residents, which helps them become more comfortable performing in front of large groups. The children also bring crafts they’ve worked on in school to give to the residents, who accept the gifts with open arms.

Gilman recalls one student who was going to miss a Wednesday visit because of a schedule conflict. The student immediately asked her mother to make sure she could get to Phoebe Wyncote because she missed seeing her “grandmas and grandpas.” Her mother, realizing how important the Phoebe Wyncote visits were to her daughter, made the necessary changes to her schedule to ensure her daughter could be there.

Gilman observes that the children are very perceptive of the residents; if they notice that a resident has a disability or limitation, they adjust their interaction with the resident. Gilman recalls one resident with dementia who often carried a baby doll. One of the children went up to her and kindly asked her baby’s name, and the two started a conversation about the doll.

Phoebe promotes intergenerational interaction through relationships with several local organizations, so residents are no strangers to children and teenagers at Phoebe Wyncote. In 2015, Phoebe began a partnership

with Our Lady of Confidence (OLC) Day School, a special education school of the Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia, to start a work-readiness skills training program. The program has flourished over the last two years, growing to include more students who learn from Phoebe Wyncote staff and residents. OLC’s job experience instructor, Julia Kurdziel, observes the students’ work-readiness skills advancing through the program, including everything from social and communication skills to job-related self-concept skills. “The program helps our students work confidently, steadily, cooperatively, and independently to guide them toward becoming contributing members of society. By doing so, they realize they can live lives of distinction. Our partnership with Phoebe Wyncote is critical to our educational mission,” says Kurdziel.

While the residents at Phoebe Wyncote enjoy interacting with the many age ranges involved in these intergenerational partnerships, they are also forming bonds and teaching young children and teenagers lifelong social and developmental skills. Teens from OLC partner with people at Phoebe Wyncote as mentors and friends, and the children of All Hallows Nursery School gain their own adopted grandparents. With these partnerships, Phoebe residents remain vital, socially contributing members of the broader community, enriching their own lives and those of the people around them.

Residents receive handmade crafts from All Hallows students, along with songs and

specially prepared performances every month.

DRIVING the Mission FORWARD

Building Community | INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT

I t’s not every day you come across a for-profit company with a nonprofit heart. BSI Corporate Benefits LLC (BSI) is one of these rare cases, partnering with

Phoebe Ministries to further our mission of serving the needs of our elders, their families, and the community. As they say at BSI: “Your Mission is Our Mission.” With this in mind, Phoebe worked with BSI to identify opportunities for service on two of Phoebe’s important event committees. Kerianne Geist, Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Operations joined the Phoebe Institute on Aging (PIA) Benefit committee; Shawn Hughes, Vice President of BSI, joined the Phoebe Ministries Golf Tournament committee; and Nick Tranguch, Director of Sales and Acquisitions, volunteers on Phoebe’s Institutional Advancement Committee. Together they are brand and mission advocates for Phoebe, advancing Phoebe’s footprint in the surrounding communities. Geist and Hughes help to secure sponsors and attendees for the golf tournament and PIA Benefit, events that raise funds for service provider education and charity care at Phoebe.

Corporate volunteerism is important to BSI. Every single employee engages as a volunteer or active board member for local nonprofits. Phoebe relies on valuable volunteer support from BSI to run the golf tournament, which this past August netted more than $100,000 and brings together 250 community members for a common cause, many of them local business owners and stakeholders in the region. BSI calls their volunteers “Boots on the

Ground” and Phoebe is proud to count them as part of our own extensive volunteer network, a vital part of Phoebe’s engagement with the community.

“One of the most rewarding aspects of working at BSI is the ability to choose an organization that is meaningful to us personally,” says Tranguch, “and then work to support that organization not only as an individual but with the backing of the entire BSI team. For us, Phoebe is that organization.”

BSI and Phoebe demonstrate the positive impact of two organizations working in tandem for the same goal: ensuring that our communities have the programs, services, and resources to flourish. Phoebe’s mission, centered on services specific to older adults, also encompasses services to the broader community. BSI understands this bigger picture, and dives in full force to advance it. It’s not just fundraising; BSI offers resources and expertise that impact our community as a whole. “The bottom line on a financial spreadsheet simply does not matter if an organization is not doing its part to make its community stronger,” says Tony DaRe, President of BSI. “We are proud to say that together we are making our communities better and stronger.”

New volunteers welcome! If you’re interested in getting involved with Phoebe as a business or community volunteer, contact Gina Bortz at 610-794-5153 or [email protected].

T he Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) program at Phoebe— the only such program in the region and one of only five

accredited in the nation in the long term care setting—is one of Phoebe’s most far-reaching initiatives. Established at Phoebe 20 years ago, CPE provides theological training for clergy and laypeople in an academic and practical long term care setting. “Graduates go on to lead worship and teach in Jewish synagogues, Catholic churches, schools, and clinical settings,” says the Rev. Dr. Scott Brooks-Cope, Director of Pastoral Care Services and leader of the CPE program at Phoebe.

CPE’s impact is not limited by faith, denomination, or geography. “The two hundred plus graduates of Phoebe’s CPE program over the years are literally serving all over the country in ministries that touch innumerable lives,” says Brooks-Cope. CPE graduate Rabbi Jim Egolf has served congregations in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Mississippi, and Georgia. He is currently a CPE student in supervisory education in the spiritual care department at the Cleveland Clinic, a nonprofit academic medical center in Ohio.

Some CPE graduates find their calling right here at Phoebe. “Six of our eight staff chaplains serving Phoebe now have done at least some of their CPE training with us at Phoebe,” says Brooks-Cope.

Many students come to Phoebe for CPE as part of their training to become ordained ministers. They learn through experience, leading worship, Bible study, and both bereavement and spiritual support groups with the mentoring and guidance of Phoebe staff chaplains. Interdisciplinary care conferences and case consultations for residents are part of each student’s education.

“CPE taught me the importance of openness and exploration with residents and also exploration in self,” says Egolf. In 2013, during his CPE training at Phoebe Allentown, Egolf watched as a resident in her 90s took her first ride in a hot air balloon. “It was a reminder to me that you’re not done living until you’re done living. Aging doesn’t have to be just reflection on the past.” CPE students take lessons like this out into a broader community beyond Phoebe. Their ministry may have started here, but its limits are boundless.

Building Community | PASTORAL CARE SERVICES

Scott Stevenson, President and CEO, Phoebe Ministries, addresses current and former CPE students at the CPE Reunion in 2017.

The Rev. William Foose Award (named after a former superintendent of Phoebe Home) was presented to the Revs. Jennifer A. Smith and Blaik Westhoff in recognition of their personal and professional growth, demonstrated ministry, and contributions to Phoebe Ministries during their training in the CPE program last year. Both Smith and Westhoff are now staff chaplains serving in Phoebe communities.

THE NEW SOCIAL NETWORK

Building Community | PATHSTONES BY PHOEBE

There’s always a new adventure with Pathstones! Members mingle at cultural activities like this one, a cooking demonstration at the Easton Public Market.

Pathstones by Phoebe offers more than peace of mind and future care for members. It also offers a community of support and socialization, a way for members with their diverse interests and backgrounds to connect and intermingle. Pathstones can be thought of as a retirement community without walls, and this is one of its unique benefits. It opens up opportunities for members to meet people they would not otherwise have come across, and form valuable new relationships which decrease the risks of isolation. Research has shown that social isolation is linked to negative health outcomes like heart disease, a weakened immune system, depression, anxiety, and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

As part of their membership, and Pathstones’ commitment to empowering an active lifestyle, members are invited to participate in events, mixers, and member meetings where they are able to welcome new members and foster friendships with existing ones. They also have a chance to catch up with staff outside of their

wellness visits and regular interactions. “We have met some new friends and enjoyed being together at meals, sporting events, and programs on healthy living and cooking,” say Don and Alison Seibert. “We also enjoy the newsletter and member meetings. The staff is always searching for new activities of interest to all members.” Experiencing the growth and development of Pathstones is one of the most exciting things for members, who look forward to social opportunities to forge new relationships, share interests, and learn about each other. It’s one of the many ways Pathstones—and Phoebe—is helping older adults build better, more active, and more fulfilling lives as members of their own communities.

Join the Pathstones community today. Call 610-794-6700 to speak to our membership coordinator, or visit pathstonesbyphoebe.org.

The Greatest Generation

STORIES TOLD, Secrets Kept

As a journalist in the newspaper business for 40 years, Frank Lordan’s motto has always been, “The most important thing is your honesty, integrity, and ability to keep a secret.” Some secrets are still important to keep today, although he has been retired from The Philadelphia Inquirer since 1988. Other secrets it was his job to report—most importantly, stories from the McCarthy era, when innocent people were being tried as suspected communists.

Frank Lordan currently lives in the Meadow Glen Personal Care Community at Phoebe Richland, not far from his relatives in Upper Bucks County; he spends much of his time outdoors in the pastoral setting around Richlandtown. Accustomed to dining with the culinary kings of the Philadelphia restaurant scene, Lordan enjoys the local upscale restaurants and continues to be a voracious reader, with daily subscriptions to The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times.


Above: Lordan (bottom row, fourth from the left) in company with his friends and cohorts.

Left: Lordan’s unit rescued a Polish woman in eastern Germany after the Nazi surrender, and the Army gave her a job. She poses here with Lordan above the Rhine valley.

“I consider being a journalist my greatest accomplishment,” reflects Lordan. “I really liked being able to right some wrongs…just by putting words on paper. It was good sometimes to be a voice for the voiceless.” In 1954 the Monmouth New Jersey Democratic Committee and Americans for Democratic Action honored Lordan with an award for his reporting on the McCarthy hearings in The Long Branch Daily Record. The Four Freedoms Award was given at the club’s annual Roosevelt Day dinner; that year the award was presented to Lordan “in recognition of a series of articles on the Fort Monmouth probe and represented the best traditions of American Journalism.”

Lordan says he received help from a contact at a famous paper that was also chronicling the hearings. “The New York Times took me in and opened up their library to me,” he says. He was telling the story from the side of the accused, and received letters and phone calls in which he was also accused of being a communist.

Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy centered his search for espionage around the Army's Signal Corps Laboratories at nearby Fort Monmouth. Forty-two Federal employees were suspended by the Army in 1953 and labeled security risks. “The whole country was in the thrall of McCarthy,” Lordan remembers. “With the help of myself and about a half dozen other guys, there was a series of stories which helped to acquit each and every one of the 35 scientists. Some of the so-called ‘reasons’ for their arrest included membership at a communist youth club at the age of 12, taking part in a 1935 May Day parade, and favoring policies of a particular newspaper columnist.”

Despite the difficult social and political situation at the time, Lordan says he has no regrets. “I was able to spend my working life doing what I knew was my purpose for living. Not everyone can say that.”

The Philadelphia native became a journalist after attending Temple University on the GI Bill. He had been drafted in 1944 when he turned 18, boarding an unheated train from Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania, to Georgia’s Camp Gordon, and then later on to Fort Jackson in South Carolina.

The uniform Lordan was given at Camp Gordon was too large, and Lordan recalls a joke his captain made at this: “When everyone is at attention, Lordan is at ease.” Lordan was required to take part in a skills assessment on the rifle range at Camp Gordon; though he had never fired a gun before, he scored highest out of 500 men.

Lordan—who had only recently been a trade school student—was assigned to the 317 Field Artillery Battalion as an ammunition corporal operating a new piece of equipment called a proximity fuse. (In General Patton’s opinion the proximity fuse won the war.) The technology was so classified he was not allowed to tell friends or family members what he was doing during the war, for fear that the information might get into the hands of the enemy. “An artillery officer in a church steeple would identify what they wanted to hit and radio back the coordinates,” Lordan recalls. “I would put the shell in the proximity fuse and it would lob it four or five miles away and spray the whole area.”

When Lordan finally arrived in Europe, Patton’s army was moving in quick pursuit of the Germans, and the war ended shortly after. Following the German surrender, a river of displaced persons streamed through the Rhineland. Lordan’s unit found a Polish woman near Koblentz in Western Pomerania (seven miles from the newly annexed Polish border) whom the Nazis had captured and left as they had retreated. The Army gave her a job in their kitchen and looked after her. “She was just wandering around,” Lordan remembers. “We adopted her.”

Though the war had ended, there was still much to do and Lordan was assigned as a mail clerk for five companies. “I stepped out of a house where my unit was staying and was struck by a truck driven by a German,” he says. The incident left him with a serious injury and hospital stays in Europe and the United States that totaled three months. Lordan believes he was spared additional injury or even death because he was destined for a different fate. “I am alive for a reason,” he says. “That reason is journalism.”

He spent 40 years living for that reason. At 91, Lordan reflects on his years in the newspaper business in New Jersey and Philadelphia, meeting famous and powerful people, reporting on Philadelphia City Hall, and breaking stories on scandals that would find their way into history books. The work was difficult, the hours erratic, and the pay was not the best, but Lordan is proud of the quality of his work, which in its way changed the world as he knew it.

Annual Report | FINANCIAL SUMMARY 2016-2017

Every person and every gift impacts what we do at Phoebe. As we celebrate the close of another fiscal year, we would like to take the opportunity to thank you, and to express our hope that you will renew your support this fiscal year. Working in partnership, we can ensure a bright and vibrant

future for the older adults in our care, both at home and in our communities.

Annual Report | THE YEAR IN GIVING

GIFTS AT WORKIn Loving MemoryAfter Doris, Dr. Clifford Wagner's wife of 64 years, passed away, he knew he wanted to do something to memorialize her. He had heard about the need for a new bus during a resident meeting at Phoebe Berks Village, where Wagner lived with his wife since 2011. He knew this would be something that would be meaningful to the campus and a wonderful way to honor his wife’s legacy. Wagner discussed the decision with his son Jeffrey, who, along with the whole family, encouraged him to move forward with this unique way to honor Doris’s memory.

With Dr. Wagner’s gift, Phoebe purchased a 25-passenger 2017 Turtle Top Transit and had it painted with the Phoebe Berks logo. The new bus is an important asset to the community at Phoebe Berks. Many residents depend on the bus for running their regular errands, including trips to the grocery store. Wagner’s generosity ensures safe and reliable transportation for the whole community for years to come.

Dr. Clifford Wagner and Star High, Executive Director of Phoebe Berks, welcome the new bus on delivery day, July 20, 2017.

A Chance to Give Back“I asked God, what is my mission now? And he opened the door to Phoebe,” says Liz Phillips. She and her husband Ray have been volunteering and donating to Phoebe since Ray’s mother, Pearl Phillips, moved to Phoebe Allentown in 2001. She passed away three short months after moving in, but Ray and Liz were so


GIFTS AT WORKMichele Butch, Assistant Director in the Business Office, has been with Phoebe for a little over two years, but her relationship with Phoebe goes back far longer. Her grandmother and her husband’s aunt were both residents of Phoebe for many years, and Butch has fond memories of the excellent care she observed on her visits. “I believe in Phoebe’s mission, our Faith in Action values, giving back, and doing what I can for Phoebe,” says Butch.

After joining Phoebe, Butch immediately became involved with volunteering and helping anywhere she could: basket socials, the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community, Jeans Day (an employee-driven fundraiser), the Phoebe Golf Tournament, and giving through Phoebe’s payroll deduction program. “It feels good to give back and I like to help where I can,” says Butch.

Phoebe has also enjoyed the support of Butch’s family. Her daughters, Danica and Georgie, spent part of the summer participating in Phoebe’s Junior Volunteer Program, and her mother, Kathy Kirby, volunteers at the front desk at the Terrace at Phoebe Allentown. Butch and her family are just one of so many similar stories: families, inspired by the warmth and care given to their loved ones at Phoebe, doing everything they can to give back.

A DEDICATED EMPLOYEE

impressed with the care she received that they wanted to keep helping residents themselves. Liz has been playing the organ at church services at Phoebe Allentown for 15 years; Ray helps out by transporting residents to their therapy appointments.

At one point the Phillipses taught a cooking class in the David A. Miller Personal Care Community, helping residents make zucchini bread and Christmas cookies. They gave their first gift in 2005 because they saw the good things that Phoebe was doing and wanted to share their good fortune in supporting a

worthy cause. In 2007 Liz and Ray began donating the required minimum distribution from their IRA to Phoebe, feeling that with this they could give back in a larger way. Their daughter Donna Wanamaker and her husband Dave also began making donations to Phoebe. Donna saw in Phoebe what her parents did, and they instilled in her the importance of giving back. As a family, the Phillipses and Wanamakers are true stewards of Phoebe. “God has been good to us and we are happy to give back,” says Liz, “and there is a joy of giving to others and putting a smile on their faces.”

Annual Report | THE YEAR IN GIVING

PARTNERING WITH THE COMMUNITYPhoebe is a community within a community. Our success and continued growth are fostered by the community around us, even as internally we focus our attention on nurturing and developing the neighborhoods where our residents live, where our staff works, and where our volunteers offer their time and energy. We are deeply grateful each day for the continued partnerships that make us stronger, and that impact the lives of our residents in profound and meaningful ways. These are just a few examples of the countless stories of partnerships: they are intergenerational and intercommunity; they are businesses and other nonprofits reaching out a helping hand; they are families and friends, neighbors and schools, institutions and churches that make a difference here. Their stories are so numerous and their generosity so great we cannot do them justice.

We thank them humbly and joyfully, from the bottom of our hearts.

Adopt a GrandparentThe David A. Miller Personal Care Community at Phoebe Allentown partners each year with Muhlenberg College’s Adopt a Grandparent program, a student-driven initiative that pairs students with residents of the Miller building on 19th and Chew streets. They get together once a month to play games and make crafts, or just socialize and share stories.

“What I’ve seen is they really relish and value the experience of being with the residents,” says Devon Frey, Community Life Coordinator for the Miller Community. “The students are engaging with residents who are anywhere from 70 to in their hundreds and they enjoy every one of them.”

Some students come more frequently to meet one-on-one with their adopted grandparent, forming a close bond that enriches the lives of both and connects residents with younger generations.

Emily Strickenberger, a junior at Muhlenberg, is one of half a dozen regular student visitors matched with a 'grandparent.'


Community Day at Phoebe BerksPhoebe Berks held the inaugural Friends of Phoebe Community Day in July. Over 450 people attended and enjoyed family-friendly activities on campus, including a petting zoo, a meet and greet with Dominic the donkey, face painting, and games. Musical entertainment was provided by the Wyomissing Band on the Village Green and The Phoebe Phive, a resident musician group.

The community day invited all members of the surrounding neighborhood, and all proceeds benefited initiatives for residents with Alzheimer's disease. “The goal of the event was to invite friends and neighbors to catch a glimpse of life at Phoebe Berks,” said Star High, Executive Director of Phoebe Berks. “We are so pleased that the beautiful weather and involvement from members of the community helped to make our first year a success!”

GIRL SCOUTS YOUNG AND OLDPhoebe Allentown has played host to Girl Scout Troop 6231 for six years, facilitated by Joan Wickel, Director of Community Life at Phoebe Allentown, and it’s a relationship that is deeply integrated with resident life. Residents attend Girl Scout meetings, pair up with Girl Scouts to sell cookies, bake, and do crafts together. They march with the girls in the Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day parades in the health care center, and work together to tend the garden outside the Haas Administration Building. Residents also sponsor the Mother’s Day Tea and go on local trips with the Girl Scouts when possible.

SIMPLE GESTURESDublin State Police trooper Victor Quinones paid a surprise visit to Phoebe Richland in August and hand delivered a flower to 106-year-old Irene Snyder. It wasn't a special occasion—only a random act of kindness. Simple gestures like this are what tie residents to the community around them, and bring limitless light and joy to their lives.

VOLUNTEERSPhoebe relies on the selfless dedication of so many people to further our mission of serving the needs and enhancing the lives of our elders, their families, and the community. Our volunteers are some of our most valuable team members. They are our friends and relatives and neighbors, working tirelessly and often anonymously in our communities to make life better for residents every day. They are our residents themselves, who, not content to sit idle in retirement, dedicate their time to helping others. They are boots on the ground—members of other organizations, including churches, local businesses, and other nonprofits, who join important advisory and fundraising committees. In all respects, our volunteers are ambassadors of our mission in the broader community. They truly make an impact every day, not only in the lives of our residents today, but in the health and prosperity of our organization as a whole for years to come.
