Century
of Service
A
2016
Community
Report
Albright Care Services
is a non-profit organization affiliated in faith with The United Methodist
Church through the Susquehanna Conference. Our mission is to care
for the senior population in the Pennsylvania communities in which we
operate. In particular, we strive to meet the housing and healthcare needs
of seniors in ways that help them age gracefully and with dignity.
Albright operates two independent senior living communities with a full
continuum of care—RiverWoods in Lewisburg and Normandie Ridge in
York. Albright operates LIFE (Living Independently for Elders) programs
that provide health, social and spiritual day care in three communities—
Lancaster, Lebanon and Williamsport. Albright also manages Warrior Run
Manor in Watsontown, a housing complex for the disabled and elderly.
RiverWoods is also home to the Slifer House Museum. Slifer House was
the original ‘home for the aged’ established by the Evangelical Association,
and was in operation for nearly 60 years. Slifer House then opened to
the public as a museum in 1976 and is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places.
Albright Care Services provides housing and healthcare services for
more than 1,200 seniors in eight counties. As a non-profit organization,
Albright is committed to meeting the continually changing needs of the
communities it serves and is grateful for the ongoing financial support of
family, friends and neighbors within those communities.

Thank You
FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Shaun T. Smith
Dear Friends,
Throughout this year, we celebrate Albright’s 100 years of service in the Susquehanna
Valley—an amazing milestone! So many people have shaped Albright’s history with gifts
of time, talent and treasure. We recognize some of them in this publication—our annual
Community Report. Others will be recognized at events during the year. All have our
sincerest gratitude!
Reflecting on our past helps us more fully appreciate the present. The numerous
advancements in medicine over 100 years have had significant impact on our delivery of
care and our ability to help thousands of older adults enjoy life to the fullest. We have
evolved from a single ‘home for the aged’ to a full continuum senior living community
with community services beyond our walls. Our mission is to encourage purposeful living
and ensure care for those who need it most. This mission will surely carry us through the
next 100 years.
The future holds great promise. Our roots are strong and provide a solid foundation for Albright. And because our
branches are many, we know we have the flexibility to reach toward great new opportunities for sustained success. Thank
you for all the ways in which your service has helped us grow and prosper. Thank you to the individuals, businesses and
organizations listed in this community report who have given in support of our benevolent mission and capital priorities.
And thank you to all of the staff who contribute daily to make our organization worthy of continued support.
Sincerely,
Dedication Day of the
United Evangelical
Home, August 4, 1916.

Celebrating
Years of
Service
Albright Care Services has a long tradition of
benevolent care. Dating back to 1916, our
mission has been to keep our doors open to a
diverse group of people and ensure their care
regardless of ability to pay. It is a mission that
has always been the right thing to do, but it
hasn’t been without challenges. Our history
includes a number of generous people and
organizations who have helped us meet those
challenges and strengthen our benevolent and
charitable programs. We have been blessed by
their generosity.
Albright is pleased to report good
stewardship of the The Spriggle Fund
for the Endowment of Benevolent
Care. The balance on December 31,
2015 was $1,312,878. This represents
a 24 month return of 9.9%.
A
lbright Care Services is celebrating 100 years of serving
the community. From humble beginnings in Lewisburg
in 1916, to service in six sites a century later, Albright
encourages purposeful living in order to create the highest quality
of living for residents, program participants, staff and volunteers.
Albright’s history is filled with generous donations of time and
expertise, donated goods and services, and cash contributions.
In February 1879, long before the ministry of care was
formally established in the twentieth century, Father
Adolph Weidemeyer of Baltimore County, Maryland,
gave a bequest of $115 to his son, Rev. P.C. Weidemeyer,
to hold as a sacred trust in support of a home for
the elderly. He believed a home for the elderly was a
necessary agency of the church and a ministry not yet
being provided. Rev. Weidemeyer handed his father’s
trust to the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the
United Evangelical Church in March 1907. This is the
first gift on record to the Evangelical Home, established
in 1916.

Lawrence and Marie Spriggle,
founders of The Spriggle Fund for
the Endowment of Benevolent Care
The Spriggle Endowment for Benevolent Care,
held at the United Methodist Stewardship
Foundation, provides a vital, yet modest,
income stream to meet the benevolent mission.
With the Foundation’s help, Albright continues
to share the story of benevolent needs for
friends and neighbors in the community and
encourage additional gifts and bequests to help
meet these ongoing needs.

“Benevolent care at Albright Care Services
would be fully funded with ten million dollars,”
said Fran Ashby, vice president for fund
development at Albright. Earlier this year, a
gift from the estate of David and June Moyer
brought Albright closer to reaching that goal.
Albright Care Services is proud to establish the David B. and
June W. Moyer Endowment Fund for Benevolent Care. Their
gift speaks to a lifetime of careful planning and a desire to
make a positive and perpetual difference for current and future
Normandie Ridge residents. The Moyers’ gift is restricted for
benevolent care.
An estate gift is a smart way to ensure you have
enough money for your needs, while making
provisions for causes you care about. It provides
security because money is protected throughout
your lifetime for whatever comes along. Only after
all obligations are met, during life and immediately
following death, does a charity receive a gift.
David and June Moyer moved to Normandie
Ridge in February of 2006. David was from
Sunbury, PA, and June was from Selinsgrove,
PA. They made Normandie Ridge their
final home after traveling all over the world.
The Moyers believed strongly in Normandie
Ridge’s benevolent programs. They established
a charitable gift annuity in 2007. This annuity
provided a regular income stream during their
lifetime. June passed away on February 8,
2013, and David followed on September 25,
2014. Upon David’s death, the annuity residual
became a gift for Normandie Ridge and the
Moyers designated the annuity, in part, to fund
benevolent care. David and June did something
else that was extraordinary. They provided
generously for Normandie Ridge in their
estate plan with a gift supporting benevolent
endowment.
Albright Care Services gratefully acknowledges all bequests
in support of benevolence, education, general operating
expenses and capital improvements. Contributions to any of
the benevolent or education funds are welcome at any time and
support our greatest priorities.
In 2015, Normandie Ridge completed a Memory Care Residence
to serve residents with Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
The 18-bed residence provides a homelike environment and
The Staff Education Fund held at First Community Foundation Partnership (FCFP) continues to grow
with a balance on December 31, 2015 of $28,797. Through this fund, Albright supports continuing
education for staff in a variety of clinical and non-clinical areas for the benefit of residents and participants.

allows for independence within the home, as well as the beautiful
secure outdoor garden. The Memory Care Capital Campaign,
led by Susan and Chuck Martin, Normandie Ridge residents,
and supported by John and Elaine Yates, community members,
successfully raised $427,808 in support of the construction.
A brick plaza will be installed in 2016, which will serve, in part,
to recognize the generosity of our many donors.
In addition to these transformational gifts, we
recognize the compassionate care given each day
by our employees, which is the cornerstone of
exceptional service to seniors. Albright’s history
is full of stories about the many times that
employees have gone beyond what is expected,
and for that, we are grateful. We are proud to
share that 56 of Albright’s current employees
have worked with us for more than 20 years,
and 19 of those 56 have been here 35 or more
years. During 2016, 42% of our employees will
reach the five year milestone. We salute our
loyal employees as they set a high standard for
all future employees at Albright Care Services.
$343,988
in Benevolent Care
At RiverWoods, a groundbreaking in May 2015 marked the
first stage in the remodeling of the main entrance to the nursing
care center, as well as the construction of The Adams Center for
Rehabilitation and Transitional Care, both of which will open to
the public in late 2016. The renovated main entrance is the new
home for the Auxiliary Gift Shop as well as The Keller Meditation
Chapel, named to recognize George and Margaret Keller, and
their family. Margaret Keller is an emeritus member of the
Albright Board of Trustees. The Keller Chapel features original
stained glass windows from the Evangelical Home that date back
to 1926. The Adams Center is named in honor and memory of
Dr. Eugene and Mrs. Lena Adams, great friends and residents of
RiverWoods, in recognition of their generosity.

FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR
Keith S. Kuzio
Dear Albright Care Services Community, Family and Friends,
On behalf of the entire Board of Trustees, I am proud to share this message as we
commemorate 100 years of growth and evolution of Albright Care Services. In 1916, the
founders of Albright planted seeds, and with great vision and faith, nurtured them to grow
and extend care to those in need in our communities. Reviewing this report, you’ll see
how those seeds have blossomed and expanded over time into strong branches of service
at our Normandie Ridge and RiverWoods Senior Living Communities, as well as our
LIFE programs in Lancaster, Lebanon and Lycoming counties, Warrior Run Manor in
Watsontown, and Lewisburg/Milton Meals on Wheels. Our gratitude and thanks go out
to all those who have invested time, talent, resources and prayers to deliver the services and
outcomes that you see throughout this report. Clearly, we are drawing from deep roots
established through a century of success to meet the needs of those entrusted to our care. I’d like to thank all those
who have strengthened our mission and enabled us to reach this milestone year!
Sincerely,

Volunteers Make
a Difference!
T
he generosity of our volunteers makes a huge
impact in the lives of residents, participants and
employees in the Albright family. Each year, hundreds
of community members volunteer in a variety of ways
that make life better for those living and working on our
campuses, and participating in our programs.
Volunteers complete a variety of jobs each year, which
include providing dog therapy services, musical and
other types of entertainment, engaging in scheduled
activities, packing and delivering meals for Meals on
Wheels Lewisburg/Milton and giving tours of Slifer
House Museum.
We are truly grateful to those who make a difference
through their volunteer service! Their kindness and
dedication brightens the lives of our residents and
participants, and enables our staff to better fulfill our
mission of encouraging purposeful living. Our volunteers
also connect us with the greater communities in which
we live and work.
There are many ways to get involved by sharing your
time and talent. Please contact us at AlbrightCare.org or
call (570) 522-3880 to find your volunteer opportunity!
Thank you for contributing your time and talents to
make the lives at Albright Care Services shine!

Alcove Apartments at RiverWoods and Normandie Ridge
Donors Support
Campus Growth
A
s evidenced by multiple capital projects on the
Normandie Ridge and RiverWoods campuses,
2015 was an exciting year for growth at Albright
Care Services. The first capital project completed
was at Normandie Ridge with the opening of a new
dining, nursing and rehabilitation space within the
skilled nursing center. Shaun Smith, president and
CEO, dedicated the space to the past, present and
future residents of Normandie Ridge. The renovated
space includes a conference room, fireplace lounge,
recreation space and updated nursing station, all
designed to better meet the needs of both long- and
short-term residents. The new dining room offers a
country kitchen and traditional dining space. The
country kitchen provides a casual dining atmosphere
where residents can enjoy the entertainment and
aromas of food being prepared. The recreation space
offers a piano and leads into the peaceful Serenity
Garden, while the conference room provides space for
care planning, family gatherings and staff meetings.
Therapy Waiting Room at RiverWoods
RiverWoods completed a physical therapy waiting
room at the nursing care center in February. The
RiverWoods Auxiliary donated $3,000 toward the
purchase of furniture for the waiting room, made
possible through funds raised in the gift shop,
membership dues and outright donations. The waiting
room serves outpatient needs, including independent
living and personal care residents, as well as the
needs of visiting families looking for a place to gather
outside of resident rooms. The room offers a homelike
atmosphere, with comfortable furniture and ample
lighting. Thank you RiverWoods Auxiliary!
14
Alcove Apartments opened at Normandie Ridge in
January and RiverWoods in September, providing
an additional housing option with full access to
amenities. The projects involved approximately
10,000-square-foot conversions of existing personal
care areas into independent living apartments,
providing an option that better fits the needs
of a growing population of seniors. The Alcove
Apartments were specially designed to prolong
independence through supportive services that are
readily available if needed. The residents of these
apartments have full access to all recreation and
dining services, as well as an array of in-home services
when necessary.
In December, Normandie Ridge celebrated the
completion of an 11,000 square-foot memory care
residence. The state-of-the-art facility accommodates
18 residents and is designed to promote safe and
abundant living for current and future Normandie
Ridge residents with Alzheimer’s disease and related
dementias. Environment, lighting and furnishings
were designed with memory care residents’ particular
needs in mind. Details such as gliding doors and
curbless showers in each room offer safe and easy
bathroom access, while the common area has a stone
fireplace and enclosed patio and garden, which makes
the space inviting and homelike. Color has been
used as an identifier to aid navigation throughout the
residence.
To date, $427,808 has been raised in support of the
Memory Care Residence. Your contributions make
it possible to provide facilities that create the highest
quality of life for those we serve. From repurposed
spaces to beautiful new additions, you make it
possible for us to encourage purposeful living for all.

o matter what time of year, Albright Care
Services always has something happening.
Opportunities to volunteer, donate or attend an
event are offered throughout the year. Following is a
sample of the many events available to residents, staff
and community members. Your support makes it all
possible!
Every February, RiverWoods staff members plunge
into the icy Susquehanna River. The team is called the
RiverWoods Ice Angels and solicits donations from
staff, family members and friends. Each participant
personally pays a registration fee to the Lewisburg
Downtown Partnership for the privilege of taking
the plunge as part of the Lewisburg Ice Festival.
Throughout the past five years, 55 different staff
members and friends have helped to raise $14,457 for
benevolent care. The late Phyllis Close, RiverWoods
resident, was an honorary Ice Angel, having solicited
donations from residents for the past three years in
support of the team.
In 2015, a Spring Fashion Show was initiated by the
Normandie Ridge Auxiliary, comprised of residents
and church members from the greater York area.
Women of the Auxiliary modeled the clothing and
accessories, and refreshments were served by men of
the Auxiliary. Over 100 guests were in attendance.
The Auxiliary has since made the show an annual
event, after the first two years proved to be lots of fun
for all who were involved.

The RiverWoods Car Show, held the third Saturday in
May each year, is organized and run by staff. The Car
Show is a fun way to engage the wider community on
the RiverWoods campus. In addition to a variety of
cars on display, delicious food is available for purchase
from a number of vendors including Brewster’s
Ice Cream, Blyler Foods, Jordan’s Funnel Cakes,
RiverWoods Auxiliary and Sodexo in 2016. One of
the highlights each year is awarding the Resident’s
Choice and People’s Choice trophies. Through the
Enrichment Fund, proceeds from the Car Show are
used to purchase a variety of items including special
equipment needed to enhance the lives of residents.
The projector in Marlow Hall used for showing
movies and presentations, and the large gazebo
outside of the nursing care center which is enjoyed by
residents, family and staff are additional examples of
purchases made through this event.

Grande Illumination, our winter event, began at
Normandie Ridge in 1997 and at RiverWoods in
1999. Approximately 1,000 luminaries are placed
on the grounds of each campus and sponsored in
memory or honor of a loved one, or named for one
who has been a blessing to the sponsor. A beautiful
remembrance booklet with the names of the donors
and those they choose to remember or honor is
published for each campus. Over 150 volunteers from
local churches and community organizations help
The Albright Golf Challenge held annually in June
has grown and evolved since its inception in April
1999. Hosted at Bucknell Golf Club since 2005, the
Golf Challenge has raised more than $1 million. More
than 265 different golfers have participated, with
Carl Schlappi, Steve Foust and Shaun Smith raising
funds in all 17 years. RiverWoods staff member Lynn
Snyder has participated for 16 years and former board
member Rev. Doug Eberly has participated for 15
years. Collectively, these five fundraiser golfers have
raised $211,968!
to light the luminaries each year under the guidance
of residents. Students from the Christian School of
York and the Meadowbrook Christian School of
Milton help each year to place the luminaries at the
respective campuses followed by a time of fellowship
with the residents, complete with cookies and cocoa.
All of the proceeds from Grande Illumination support
benevolent care, and cumulatively the events have
raised $413,443 in just under 20 years.
The Everyday
Heroes
initiative began
in 2014 as an
opportunity for
staff to become
involved in
ways to raise
money for the benefit of those they serve. Staff help
direct how the funds will be used at each of the sites
to enrich the lives of participants and residents. By the
end of 2015, more than $16,000 was raised through a
variety of events. Albright is blessed to have staff who
believe in the mission of caring!
Everyday
The Normandie Ridge Anniversary Celebration is
held annually on the second Saturday in October.
Planned by a committee of Auxiliary members and
under the direction of chair Flo Waybright, the
Anniversary Celebration has become a day full of
delicious food, beautiful crafts, creative themed
baskets and fun entertainment. A number of York
area church members donate food items and time
to make it successful. All of the proceeds are used
by the Auxiliary to fund programs like drum circle
therapy, as well as items used to improve quality of
life for residents, including iPads, iPods and custom
wheelchairs. Additionally, the Auxiliary was a major
donor for the Serenity Garden.
Employee Campaign
It takes the work of many hands for these events to be
successful, and we invite you to join us at any and all
of these fun opportunities!

Auxiliaries Support
Purposeful Living
for Residents
T
he members of the Normandie Ridge and
RiverWoods Auxiliaries are dedicated to
improving the quality of life for all residents. Each
year, the auxiliaries donate thousands of dollars in
support of the Benevolent Care Fund, recreation,
therapy equipment and innovative programming.
The auxiliaries’ generosity in providing for others is a
deeply rooted tradition, dating back to the founding
of the United Evangelical Home. Over the years, the
auxiliaries on each campus have grown and changed,
but the mission of serving the needs of residents has
remained the same.
The Women’s Auxiliary of the United Evangelical
Home was organized in 1915 to support the Home’s
opening on August 4, 1916. According to the first
Annual Report, the object of the auxiliary was to
gather funds and materials for the equipment and
maintenance of the Home. Known as the Ladies
Auxiliary, the organization regularly met at Central
Oak Heights, the meeting place of the Home’s
founders. Annual dues for auxiliary membership
were 50 cents. In the early years, the auxiliary helped
to provide the central heating and power plant,
supplying electricity and heat for residents. The Ladies
Auxiliary continued to provide for the Home for
57 years through numerous services, donations and
improvements for residents, as well as serving lunch
and organizing a craft bazaar for annual Anniversary
Day celebrations.
Years later, the Home expanded to offer a nursing
home, and the United Methodist Nursing Home
Auxiliary was organized on September 1, 1970. The
auxiliary’s first project was to raise funds to equip
the doctor’s office with medical supplies. After
successfully completing the first project, the auxiliary
began fundraising for the creation of a gift shop. The
gift shop opened in the front lobby on March 20,
1971. A merger of the Evangelical Home and the
United Methodist Nursing Home on May 19, 1972,
Above: A 1930s
Anniversary Day,
organized by the
Women’s Auxiliary.
resulted in the merger of the Ladies Auxiliary of the
Evangelical Home and the United Methodist Nursing
Home Auxiliary. The Lewisburg United Methodist
Homes Auxiliary was born and its first project was
raising funds for the purchase of a minibus equipped
with a hydraulic lift for transporting residents
in wheelchairs. When the campus was renamed
RiverWoods in 1997, the Auxiliary was renamed
RiverWoods Auxiliary to reflect this change.
With expansion of the Home to York, the Normandie
Ridge Auxiliary was formed in 1993 with the purpose
of enhancing the lives of Normandie Ridge residents.
The auxiliary raises funds through membership dues,
contributions, and other activities. The majority of the
funds are used to purchase items such as specialized
wheelchairs, electronic devices and other items that
allow residents to enjoy a more abundant life. Funds
are also donated to the Benevolent Care Fund, which
provides assistance to residents who have outlived
their financial resources.
Thank you so much to our current auxiliary members
for continuing the custom of service which started so
long ago. The tradition of giving back to RiverWoods
and Normandie Ridge endures, thanks to your
generosity and dedication. We are grateful for
your support!

It takes an entire team to operate our Meals on Wheels program. The program is always in need of volunteers to help
pack and deliver meals, and contributions to cover the cost of food and supplies, as well as subsidize the meals of
recipients whose incomes are below the poverty line. If you want to help our program or know someone who could
benefit from our service, please call Cindy Walker, Meals on Wheels Coordinator, today at (570) 522-1934. Together,
we make our community a better place to live.

All Kinds of Gifts-in-Kind
F
or 100 years, we have relied on gifts-in-kind to provide a higher quality of life for
the individuals we serve. In 1916, The United Evangelical Home was able to open its
doors to those in need and has continued to flourish, thanks to an array of gifts-in-kind
that were donated by generous individuals, churches and organizations.
Gifts received during that first year ranged from livestock to furniture and included
bushels of potatoes, 25 hens and a rooster, jars of jelly, canned goods, aluminum kettles,
quilts, towels, rugs, lanterns, glassware, china and chairs. Many people donated their
time through labor and skills, including hauling and shocking wheat, carpentry and
painting. These gifts-in-kind helped to feed residents, furnish rooms, equip the kitchen,
and set the table for shared meals. The generosity of countless individuals, churches
and organizations made a difference back then, just as gifts-in-kind continue to make a
difference today.
Above: a resident feeds
chickens, one of many
early gifts to the Home.
Every year, Albright Care Services receives hundreds of gifts-in-kind that help us to
better serve our residents and participants. Many gifts were received in 2015 including
23 handmade afghans, a motorized wheelchair and a Baldwin piano. Some gifts help
our staff keep sites maintained, such as the Ride On Carpet Extractor donated by Metz
Environmental and Culinary Services. In addition, a number of individuals, businesses
and organizations provided gifts last year as prizes for our fundraising events. These
donated gifts help us promote the events and reward those who take part in helping
to raise funds for the Benevolent Care and Resident Enrichment Funds, funds which
directly support the needs of our residents and participants.
Regardless of its size or shape, your gift-in-kind makes a difference! From words found in the first Annual Report of the
United Evangelical Home written by Rev. Dr. Abraham Winter, first superintendent, “To each and all who in any way
have remembered the Home, we desire to express our sincere and heartfelt ‘thank you,’ and our appreciation of [your]
loving remembrance of our needs and comfort...” For these many gifts, we could not be more grateful. Thank you!

Staff Help Raise Awareness
for Alzheimer’s Association
In November 2015, RiverWoods Senior Living Community
participated in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End
Alzheimer’s at Indian Park, Montoursville. Despite the rainy
day, the RiverWoods team (pictured left) had 17 team members
who participated in the walk. Made up of staff members and
their family members, the team was in the top five fundraisers
teams for the event, having raised $2,726 for the Alzheimer’s
Association through a bake sale, business sponsors and individual
fundraising efforts.
Normandie Ridge Senior Living Community participated in
the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s at Morgan
Cousler Park, York in October. The Normandie Ridge team
(pictured left) had 18 team members who participated in the
walk. With staff and their family members on the team, they
raised $1,988 for the Alzheimer’s Association through various
fundraisers and individual efforts. We are proud to support the
Alzheimer’s Association, which focuses on care, support and
research for Alzheimer’s disease.

and is an oil painting completed by an exceedingly
skilled artist, most likely from Philadelphia, although
no signature has been found. It is framed in an ornate,
gold, water-gilded frame. Through the generous
donation of RiverWoods resident Milton House, the
portrait and its frame will be restored and returned
to the museum’s parlor in time for the centennial
celebration at RiverWoods in August 2016.
The daily operation of the museum is made possible
by individuals who donate their time by providing
guided tours, assisting with events, and completing
archival tasks. An internship program was created last
year, providing new educational opportunities that
have had a great impact on the museum’s offerings
and strengthening its connection in the community.
University students applied for internships to
learn about and take part in the many facets of the
museum’s operation.
Anna Slifer
Returns Home
S
lifer House Museum celebrated great success in
2015, thanks to the generous support of donors
and volunteers. The museum obtained a very
exciting acquisition last year. After receiving special
contributions from a dozen donors, Slifer House
purchased a portrait of Anna Slifer Walls. Anna was
the youngest daughter of Eli Slifer, secretary of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during the Civil War
and the individual who commissioned the mansion to
be built by architect Samuel Sloan circa 1860.
The portrait is the first and only portrait that the
museum owns of a Slifer child. It was purchased at
an auction held at Roller Mills Antiques, Lewisburg,

A dozen interns from Susquehanna University, Tufts
University and Bucknell University completed
internships last year that provided experience in
marketing, collections care, research, community
outreach and fundraising. Special projects that interns
assisted in completing included creating a digital
inventory of early United Evangelical Home photos,
implementing special events, hosting two weddings,
organizing the porch sale and entering artifacts into a
digital database. The database will enable information
to be quickly found using a search tool, including
where the items are located in the museum and their
significance. The database will allow for more
cohesive exhibits and programming.
The museum relies on the generosity of volunteers,
interns, and contributors to continue providing
quality public programming and tours, including
the special centennial exhibit opening on August 4.
The exhibit will feature photographs and artifacts of
the United Evangelical Home, which celebrated its
opening on April 4, 1916.
The museum is looking forward to the next 100 years,
with an upcoming expansion which will offer
handicappedaccessibility to the museum and a
multipurpose room that will be used by RiverWoods
and the external community for exhibits, art
gallery space, meetings, and more! Sign up for the
e-newsletter by visiting www.SliferHouse.org.

A
lbright Care Services is dedicated to the many individuals we serve in our six locations. We are proud that our
staff members are equally devoted to Albright’s mission and the commitment to quality service. This year
marks significant service milestones for some staff members, particularly the six who have worked at RiverWoods
for over 40 years:
• Dorothy Page, Central Supply, hired June 1, 1970
• Gloria Maust, Nursing, hired May 23, 1971
• Lucy Cornelius, Dietary, hired May 26, 1973
• Robert Hemrick, Maintenance, hired July 17, 1973
• Brenda Nixon, Housekeeping, hired October 17, 1974
• Sharon Fisher, Nursing, hired January 7, 1976
When added together, this group of six staff members has nearly 260 combined years of service at Albright! They
have experienced significant progress on campus, including building construction, policy changes and evolving
health care regulations. Additionally, 72 employees have worked 20 or more years for Albright at LIFE Lycoming,
Normandie Ridge and RiverWoods. Of those 72 employees, 13 have worked for 35 years!
We commend the loyalty of those who chose to work at Albright. Many thanks for all you do to support the
Albright mission!
