Homeland staff and volunteers recently gathered at the Dauphin County Cemetery for an afternoon of meaningful cleanup work. Everyone involved searched for and uncovered grave markers while clearing away accumulated grass and soil in preparation for the upcoming Wreaths Across America event on December 11, 2025.

This effort was completed in collaboration with the Dauphin County Work Release Program, which oversees the cemetery’s groundskeeping. Arrangements also included coordination with the Dauphin County Coroner's Office.

We are grateful to everyone who participated, including our hospice volunteers, for helping ensure each resting place is treated with dignity and care.

“The residents make my day. They really do,” says Dietary Supervisor Felicia Foster, who has been part of the Homeland family for 25 years. From baking cakes to brightening spirits, Felicia’s care goes beyond the kitchen, treating every resident “as your own grandparents.”

Homeland was honored to host a Veterans Appreciation Service in the Chapel this past Veterans Day, where residents, families, community members, and staff gathered to recognize the men and women who have served our country. Nativity School of Harrisburg Color Guard opened the ceremony with the Presentation of the Colors, followed by patriotic music, readings, and heartfelt moments of reflection.

We were grateful to welcome guest speaker Larry Oakes of Linglestown American Legion Post 272, whose distinguished service and personal stories added meaningful depth to the program. Special thanks were also extended to Stephen Holmes of American Legion Post 733 for his leadership with the Color Guard.

Our appreciation goes out to every Veteran in attendance, along with their families, and to the many staff members, volunteers, and Veteran volunteers who helped make the ceremony special.

Homeland was honored to visit St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral, one of our founding churches, for a special presentation during the adult Sunday School hour and the worship service.

During the service, Homeland presented a commemorative plaque recognizing Saint Stephen’s enduring place in Homeland’s 158-year legacy of care, compassion, and community service.

Our sincere thanks to Barry Ramper II, Ory Bower, Todd Carver, and Ed Savage for joining Dann Caldwell in leading the presentation and sharing Homeland’s history and mission with the congregation. We are also deeply grateful to Dean Robyn and Rev. Dee for their gracious welcome and partnership on this special occasion.

Last week we celebrated the Board of Managers’ annual Holiday Bazaar, an event that has been part of Homeland Center for more than 20 years! Each year, the Board collects donated items and prepares homemade baked goods to create a festive shopping experience for residents, staff, and guests.

The selection includes everything from puzzles and jewelry to holiday décor and sweet treats. Residents especially enjoyed choosing gifts for their grandchildren and loved ones.
