In December, Homeland’s Friends & Family gathering was full of holiday cheer and heartfelt connection. The main dining room filled up again and again as our dietary team kept the food flowing and the energy high. Residents, families, and staff enjoyed live music and shared laughter, stories, and special moments throughout the afternoon, creating a truly festive atmosphere.

Jennifer Murray, Director of Personal Care and HomeCare, spent time with residents and their loved ones, adding to a day that beautifully reflected the warmth, care, and community that define Homeland.

A lifetime immersed in creativity continues to bring new experiences for artist Nancy Stamm, including her first exhibit in Homeland’s Florida Room gallery.

“It’s nice when people see art where they don’t expect it,” Nancy says. “If there weren’t art on the walls, it would be very plain. Very uninspiring.”

Nancy’s work, now featured through the Art Association of Harrisburg’s community exhibit series as this fall's featured artist, reflects her lifelong fascination with nature. Her paintings of pets, birds, children, and still lifes draw from her Boiling Springs upbringing and decades spent working as a graphic designer, gallery owner, and even a “modern-day Michelangelo” as she restored church ceilings across central Pennsylvania.

Wishing all Homeland residents, families, staff, and friends a Christmas filled with comfort, joy, and meaningful moments.🎄

Every Christmas decoration has a story, and the Santa atop the Diner at Homeland Center is one of our favorites.

According to Homeland lore, the Santa display journeyed to Harrisburg sometime in the 1950s or 60s. The Board of Managers used to make an annual trek to Macy’s in New York City to hand-pick gifts for our residents. On one legendary trip, this Santa — likely part of a grand store display — caught their eye.

The details are a bit misty now, but as the story goes the Board negotiated a special “Homeland deal,” appealing to Macy’s holiday spirit. Whether he was a gift or a very special purchase, Santa soon found his way to Homeland.

After years of delighting residents, Santa took a long nap in storage. Generations later, he was rediscovered, lovingly restored by a Board member, and returned to his perch above the Diner. He now continues his watch over the Diner hallway every holiday season.

Does one of your holiday decorations have a special story behind it? We’d love to hear it in the comments!
