A Letter From... Rita

Hello Summer! This season brings a renewed sense of vitality and the perfect opportunity to embrace the outdoors, engage in enriching activities, and foster deeper connections. It’s been great to see team members and residents alike enjoying this season.

I would like to take this moment to recognize and thank our dedicated team members. Your unwavering dedication and compassion are the heart and soul of our community. Your efforts ensure that our residents receive the highest level of care and support, creating an environment where they can thrive.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication. It is a privilege to serve with you and to be part of this team. We are committed to continually enhancing our services and amenities to meet the needs of our residents and exceed their expectations.

And last but not least – congratulations to our recent grads!

With Gratitude,

Corporate Updates

Our Fieldstone team is hard at work putting the finishing touches on the latest addition to the Vantage Point family!

With our planned opening quickly approaching later this summer, department leads are hiring their opening teams, conducting trainings, and getting everything in working order to begin welcoming home our first residents in a few short weeks.

Karen Garland, the Regional Director of Operations for Pennsylvania, is overseeing the opening and working diligently through the mountains of paperwork necessary to get our state license.

It’s been an incredible show of teamwork and camaraderie in this last stretch. We’ve been so fortunate to have teammates from Meadowcrest, Arcadia, and The Lodges join Team Fieldstone to help train their counterparts.

If you find yourself in Chester Springs any time soon, please stop by and say “hi!” Photos, clockwise from bottom

Community Focus

Life & Love at Truitt Lodge

On Sunday, June 23 The Lodge at Truitt Homestead was thrilled to host its very first wedding. Sondra Nibauer and Tom McClure found each other and love at The Lodge and shared their special day with one hundred relatives and friends.

The Bride was attended by six bridesmaids in lavender while the groom was supported by eight Groomsmen dressed in white.

Despite the unusually warm temperatures, the happy couple were married on our spacious outdoor Terrace and enjoyed an afternoon of fabulous food and dancing in our formal dining room with live music courtesy of longtime Lodge favorite, 5th Avenue Jazz. Congratulations to the happy couple, from Team Truitt Lodge!

The Longest Day at Arcadia

We celebrated “The Longest Day” in support of the Alzheimer’s Association with two weeks of events. Our

Personal Care Residents joined in a wonderful time participating in “The Longest Day” activities!

We brought Memory Care, Personal Care, and Independent Living together for a fun game of balloon volleyball! The Residents, Employees, and Volunteers really showed their purple pride in support of Alzheimer’s!

The Purple theme was everywhere you looked from our Purple Breakfast with the Bible to Purple Happy Hour. We

hosted our Annual Community Purple Cookout and Bingo event.
