Additional Cottages Planned for 2006
A recent surge in demand for cottages has prompted Brethren Village to start a new building project. Construction is expected to begin in June and be completed by Fall, 2006. The project site can accommodate up to 54 homes within 27 duplex buildings. The initial phase of construction will include as many cottages as are sold with the remainder phased in as part of our larger “repositioning” efforts. Two floor plans will be offered with the new cottage construction dwellings. One floor plan will include 1,500 square feet of living space, with a one or two car garage within a duplex. The second floor plan will include 2,200 to 2,400 square feet of living space and a two car garage as a single dwelling. Final details, including floor plans and pricing, will be available in March. Joining Brethren Village in this development effort are Derck & Edson Associates, Benchmark Construction, and Richard Mula Architects. If you, or someone you know, are interested in learning more about Brethren Village’s new cottages, please call the Marketing Office at 717-581-4227.

From the President
uccess of the Village’s ministry is most certainly directly attributed to the combined efforts of many individuals and multiple constituencies including donors, team members, volunteers, residents, and friends of the community. Each of these constituencies and the individuals represented are highly valued. Remove one single constituency and the Village’s ministry either would not exist or would not be successful.

Enriching each life touched by our ministry at Brethren Village.
Rooted in the tradition of service within the Church of the Brethren, the mission of Brethren Village is to provide a continuum of services and Christ-like care to support the aging process and to enhance the spiritual, physical, social and emotional wholeness of residents, team members, and community.

And while each are in some ways unique, we all share one vision“enriching each life touched by our ministry at Brethren Village.” I will focus my comments in this issue of the Villager to one such constituency — the Brethren Village Auxiliary. The Village Auxiliary is comprised of many women and men who serve without financial incentive to further the ministry of the Village. Programs included in the Auxiliary’s efforts are the Gift Shop, Village Store, Library, Thrift Shop, Christmas decorating, Tuesday evening programs, birthday parties, clothing mending, visitation, and much more. Each of these programs contributes in a real and personal way to the quality of life for the residents who call the Village “home.” The Village Auxiliary recently met to determine those projects which they will fund for their fiscal year April, 2006 – March 31, 2007. The projects selected by the Village for funding during the new fiscal year total over $89,000.00 and include things such as automatic door openers at several locations on campus, a new Village bus, medical equipment and wheelchairs for the Healthcare Center and refurbishing the lounges in Village Manor assisted living. We express our heartfelt and deep appreciation to the Auxiliary President, Marilyn Hummel, the fellow Auxiliary officers, and all volunteer members.
A recent membership drive resulted in collections over $6,800.00 and hundreds of renewed and new Auxiliary members. We are grateful to each and every member of the Auxiliary for their generous and loyal support of the Village’s ministry. If you have interest in learning more about the Brethren Village Auxiliary, or supporting its efforts on behalf of Village residents, please contact Jaris Woller, Director of Volunteers Services at 717-581-4251. As reported in the last issue of the Villager, expansion plans continue to advance on several projects. The Village’s 60 one-bedroom affordable senior apartment facility, now named Fairview Meadows, continues to progress with the anticipation of breaking ground in spring of this year. Plans are also underway to begin construction of additional cottages on our campus with groundbreaking scheduled for this summer. Development of the 17-acres along Airport Road and the 52-acre Hoover Farm is also moving through the local municipality approval process and we look forward to announcing more specifics regarding these plans in the upcoming months. In addition, the Village’s engagement with Greystone Communities, Inc. continues with primary focus on a conceptual master development plan; more specifically, residential, healthcare, and assisted living facilities. The vision of Brethren Village is clearly in focus. As we continue to seek and be obedient to our Heavenly Father’s direction, our vision will be His vision -“enriching each life touched by our ministry at Brethren Village.” Thank you for your support and God bless.

BV Announces New Exercise Schedule
The residents of Brethren Village are beginning 2006 on a healthy start by engaging in our winter semester of exercise classes. The winter term began Jan. 9 and will conclude on Mar. 31. It is exciting to observe residents wanting to stay functional, overcome physical challenges, and improve their quality of life through exercise. Residents can select to participate in the following classes: • Bend & Balance- an introductory stretch and balance class • Body Balance 1- an intermediate balance class • Body Balance 2- an advanced balance class • Strength Training 101- an introductory muscular strength class • Push & Pull- an intermediate muscular strength class These classes are coupled with various additional supervised classes in our fitness rooms on our campus. All of these classes introduce residents to the five components of fitness which include balance, muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and agility. All are designed to improve deficiencies that residents may have in these areas. The semester ends with campus wide fitness assessments held during the week of April 3. Fitness assessments measure our residents’ abilities with the fitness components while gauging progress and providing encouragement. The assessment also provides feedback to the Fitness Department as the staff constantly evolve the wellness program for residents. The Fitness Department’s spring/summer semester of classes will begin May 1. Those people listed on the Village wait-list are eligible to participate in our exercise classes. If you are anxious to begin exercise but not willing to wait until May 1, you may schedule an appointment with a fitness instructor to use the fitness rooms before spring/summer semester commences. Enrollment to use the fitness rooms on campus is on-going. Please call the Fitness Department at 717-581-4252 to schedule an appointment. The Fitness Department will welcome your call as they seek to inspire residents, team members, and friends of the Village to make proactive choices which will benefit their health and livelihood.
From the Pastor
Mark Tedford Director of Pastoral Care
Does it ever slow down? You may ask that question, like I do at times, and I’m not talking about the traffic on Routes 283 or 30. I’m talking about life and its activities. During the busy holiday season of 2005, Brethren Village was very busy… as was the Pastoral Department and chapel. The Chapel Choir had its wonderful Christmas Program led by Harold Merkey and accompanied by Betty Burnaford. The newly formed men’s choir, Village Voices, led by Arlene Keller sang in the Healthcare Center, and performed a full program on Dec. 28 for a very appreciative crowd. The Village also participated in the annual COBYS Christmas Tree Project, helping raise funds for their excellent ministry, along with contributions to the chapel poinsettia display. The weeks following the holiday gave way to a full schedule of programs and ministries. The Village was host to our Annual Pastors’ Conference on Jan. 26, with speakers from the Samaritan Counseling Center, addressing the topic, “Depression, Loneliness, and Suicide—What We Can Do About It.” On Feb. 21, the Homeschoolers Children and Youth Choir presented a musical program in our chapel. The Village will also welcome the Quarryville Presbyterian Home Choir on March 16, and the Mennonite Children’s Choir on April 17. As you can tell by all the joyous events and happenings in the past and upcoming months, it is evident that life in the Pastoral Department doesn’t slow down. However, we do have some extra help for a few months through April. The Pastoral Department is eager to work with two Lancaster Seminary students, Becky Fuchs and Naomi Weaver, who will fulfill field work through ministry at Brethren Village. They will visit residents and participate in our ministries to help them develop their gifts for service. Although life doesn’t slow down, we still take the time to stop and praise God for His mercies that are new every morning. And even while we are on the move, we praise Him knowing that by His grace and power we are able to keep on going until the next year rolls around.
Fitness Specialist Steve Brubaker works with residents at various fitness levels throughout the year to improve the overall wellness of our campus.

Planning For Your Financial Future
Ed Nissley Senior Ministries Insurance Counselor
Contact Ed Nissley with any questions Marketing/Development Offices at by appointment.
concerning long-term care at Brethren Village at 717-581-4260. His office is located in the 505 East Airport Road. Times are available
Statistics suggest that almost one out of two persons who are age 65 and older will require some type of specialized health care during their lifetime. Yet many of us believe that although the person sitting next to us in church may require such care… it won’t happen to me. Consequently, many of us fail to complete even the most basic planning for the later years of our life. Here are five planning steps to consider: 1 . C o m p l e t e o r U p d a t e Yo u r Wi l l o r L i v i n g Tr u s t If you don’t have a Will or Living Trust, take that first step by locating an estate planning attorney in your area and make an appointment. If you do have a Will or Living Trust in place— congratulations. Be sure to regularly review your document to be certain that the plan is up-to-date with the amount and types of assets that you own, your family circumstances and your charitable giving desires. 2 . A p p o i n t a n A g e n t f o r Fi n a n c i al a n d H e a l th C a r e M a t t e r s A Power of Attorney is a simple document that allows you to designate a person(s) who have the legal authority to assist you as and when needed. Without this simple document, your family may be required to go to court to obtain a guardianship should you require that assistance. 3 . C o n s i d e r a L i v i n g Wi l l Would your family know your wishes if you were in a terminal condition and could not otherwise speak for yourself? A Living Will is a document in which you express your own desires for receiving end-of-life healthcare if you are unable to communicate those desires at that time. 4 . E x p l o r e L o n g -Te r m C a r e I n s u r a n c e With the costs of long-term care continuing to climb and the uncertain future of government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, many of us should investigate the costs and benefits of long-term care insurance. While long-term care insurance is not for everyone, many persons in their 50’s and early 60’s are surprised to find that it can be affordable and can provide for a broad range of long-term care options— including home care and assisted living. 5 . D i s c u s s I t w i t h Yo u r Fa m i l y Perhaps the most important planning step any of us can take is to simply take the time to sit down with those whom we love and to talk about all of the issues surrounding our aging process. By discussing the “hard” questions as a family or with friends we can often develop plans that most reflect our values, needs and desires.
BV Names New Administrative Assistant
Brethren Village has recently welcomed Glenda Knight to the position of Administrative Assistant in the Administrative Office. Knight joined Brethren Village on Jan. 2, 2006, after serving as Administrative Assistant at the Ephrata Community Hospital for seven years. Prior to her position at the hospital, she worked for seven years as a Medical Secretary here at the Village in Rehabilitation Services. “It’s really nice to be back and see familiar faces. Everyone here has made me feel very welcome and I look forward to serving the residents of the Village,” Knight commented. At the Village, Knight will have direct administrative responsibility for the Resident Business Office, the receptionist, and will serve in capacity for Gary Clouser, President; Phil Hollinger, Vice President Resident Support Services; and Pam Formica, Vice President Finance.

New Diet Options Offered in Healthcare Center
Too often many residents in the Brethren Village Healthcare Center have difficulty chewing meats, whether it is due to poor dentition, ill-fitting dentures, fatigue with eating, etc. Therefore, food is often pureed, chopped, or ground to allow consumption. These foods may be unappealing and can result in poor intake of all and/or protein foods, which decreases the nutritional status of residents. In February, the Food & Dining Department at the Village began offering a new diet to Healthcare Center residents termed Soft to Chew. It is an innovative diet in the long-term care setting that provides an aesthetically appealing meal to residents who have difficulty chewing foods on a regular diet, particularly meats. Foods that are included are soft, easy to chew fare that do not have obvious mechanical alternations such as ground, chopped, or pureed foods. Foods are prepared and served with sauces and gravies to ensure that all meats are fork tender and vegetables are fork mashable. These Village residents on the Soft to Chew diet are receiving whole foods which increase the likelihood of food acceptance therefore improving food intake, quality of life, and overall resident health. For more information regarding the Soft to Chew diet option, please contact Adam Shipton, Clinical Dietician, at 717-581-4333.

Team Members Contribute to Disaster Response Effort
On Nov. 5 through Nov. 13, 2005, Brethren Village sent a group of team members to assist for the Church of the Brethren Disaster Response efforts in Pensacola, Florida. Team members included Gary & Joanne Koon, Roxy Foltz, Cheryl Templeton and daughters Melissa & Ashley Templeton, and Joanne Stehr. The group traveled with Marlin Miller, Udo Sommerhoff, and Marlin Hosler, also from the Atlantic Northeast District, before arriving in Pensacola where they were greeted by ten additional workers from throughout the country. The volunteers assisted families still recovering from the results of Hurricane Ivan, which had occurred more than a year ago. Many homes in the region are still without roofs, forcing many families to remain in temporary housing facilities and dwellings. The volunteers offered help in a variety of capacities, including painting, sanding, and dry walling to pulling weeds. Given the opportunity to reach out and serve God and others, the group would like to thank all of those who prayed for the team members during their journey.
Disaster Response volunteers from Brethren Village joined the following countrywide workers in the cleanup and construction efforts:(L-R) Row 1: Theresa Rodeffer (TN), Nancy Sheen (CA), Gary Koon (BV), Ashley Templeton (BV), Joanne Koon (BV), Alice Petry (OH) Row 2: Marlin Hossler (PA), Tom Sheen (CA), Cheryl Templeton (BV), Udo Sommerhoff (MD), Melissa Templeton (BV), Roxy Foltz (BV), Joanne Stehr (BV), Larry Petry (OH) Row 3: Marlin Miller (PA), Leroy Hutsell (TN), Caleb Hutsell (TN)
Sisters Ashley and Melissa Templeton have some fun between painting jobs.

The goal for this year’s banquet is to raise $60,000 for our “Good Samaritan Benevolent Fund,” which provides assistance to those residents who have exhausted their financial resources. Please join us in celebrating our 109-year history of “Touching Generations,” one life at a time.
