Retirement Community Plans Harvest Festival, Pig Roast By Chelsea Peifer
Since becoming the director of advancement at Mount Hope Nazarene Retirement Community (MHNRC), 3026 Mount Hope Home Road, Manheim, Kris Wilson has had the chance to hear more and more people mention that it is one of Manheim’s best-kept little secrets. While Wilson agrees with that sentiment, ultimately her desire is to make sure that more people know about the care that is offered to residents at MHNRC. Wilson first learned about MHNRC as she was searching for a retirement home for her mother. Walking inside, she was immediately struck by its cleanliness, the cheerfulness of those working, and the warmth of the overall
environment. She has found it to be a wonderful fit for her mother. “I quickly realized how special Mount Hope is. The sheer size and this kind of space just lend itself to a family feel,” relayed Wilson. “The nurses who interact with my mom have such a special way with her, and really all of the staff do.” MHNRC, a nonprofit ministry of Grace Point Church of the Nazarene, was named a five-star, deficiency-free skilled nursing facility by the Pennsylvania Department of Health this year. “Those are two things that are really hard to get,” Wilson remarked. According to Wilson, more than 85 percent of MHNRC residents are on Medicaid, and in 2017 alone the retirement home gave more than $1,240,600 in charitable care. See Harvest Festival pg 9

The Sept. 17 program will be “Miracles or Mere Coincidences?

Each year the dedicated residents who organize Susquehanna Old-Fashioned Field Days decide on a different agricultural process or antiquity to feature at the two-day event, and this year’s theme was chosen at the suggestion of numerous individuals. Bells, whistles, and poultry items - new and old, of all shapes and sizes - will be on display for folks to view and learn a bit of history. Organizer Darl Williams has amassed quite a collection of bells and whistles, including several worn by horses pulling the famous Conestoga wagons. In those days, bells announced that a team of horses was coming and
