“I’m a little bit of a talker, and people here like to talk so that’s great for me. I love interacting with everyone. I work in maintenance and I can tackle pretty much anything here residents need me to do for them. Everyone here goes the extra mile and that is something that inspires me. To me, Moravian Manor Communities means community and care. It’s a really good place to work.”

After a career in community behavioral health at non-profit organizations, Mark and his wife, Fran, moved from Gladwyne, PA to our Hendricks Place townhomes in 2012.
While Moravian Manor’s “Community within a Community” approach to living and the connectivity to downtown Lititz was attractive to Mark and Fran, it was ultimately their personal experience with our staff and nursing care that brought them to Moravian Manor Communities. Back in 2000, Fran’s mother was diagnosed with Dementia/Alzheimer’s. They learned of Moravian Manor Communities’ specialized memory support program and were very impressed, and without hesitation placed the care of Fran’s mother, and for a short period for rehab, Fran’s father in the community’s care.
Because of their personal experience, Mark and Fran began to support our ministry through ongoing financial contributions. Years later when touring the Health Center renovation project, they were reunited with a team member who immediately recognized Fran and began reminiscing about time spent with Fran’s mother. Even after all these years, you can hear the emotion in Mark’s voice as he shares this story; an interaction Mark describes as a defining moment…the moment they knew without a doubt that there is no place they’d rather be than Moravian Manor Communities.
Mark’s love of creating and working with his hands, coupled with his passion for helping others, has led to his involvement in the community on and off campus. On campus, he spends time pursuing new hobbies and connecting with others through wood carving, woodworking and even learning how to play the ukulele.

“After visiting several other Life Plan Communities in Lancaster County, a friend suggested we check out Moravian Manor Communities and their new campus, Warwick Woodlands. We were not familiar with them so we did some research and made an appointment to visit…from day one we were very impressed! Everyone was so welcoming and The Woods apartment building seemed like the perfect fit for us! In April 2019, we moved in and have never regretted our decision; actually, it turned out to be the best decision we have ever made! Life at Moravian Manor Communities has certainly exceeded our expectations and we love everything about The Woods and our new home. We have a new extended family in a beautiful setting in a highly rated community – and we couldn’t be happier! Life is good!”

Having worked at Moravian Manor Communities in the sales office for five years and 18 additional years at two other senior living communities, Marcie and her husband made a move into The Woods on the Warwick Woodlands Campus.
“We love the intimate side of Moravian Manor Communities, and that the CEO takes a personal interest in everyone here. EGStoltzfus is a quality builder and we decided to ‘upgrade’ to a home with two bathrooms after raising two daughters in a 3-bedroom, 1-bath home! After our first two weeks here, we felt like we were on vacation and couldn’t believe this was our new home…we are so happy with our decision.”
