30 Years of Excellence and Beyond: Continue with us as we share some of our history from the years leading up to present day….

2014 brought a deeply personal act of generosity and love which added something truly beautiful to our home. Pete Trombetti, wanting to honor his late wife, Maggie O’Grady Trombetti, partnered with our Team to create our Tranquility Garden. Built by 100% donations and community support. Volunteering their time: a landscape architect, cement company, lighting experts, hardware store, a local nursery and much, much more — this garden became a sensory- rich sanctuary. During the isolation of COVID, it was truly a saving grace. And today, it remains a place of peace, joy, connection, purpose and dignity.

At our Celebration, we gave a special shout out to Oakland Nursery. This local company, third generation owned and operated by the Reiner Family. John Reiner is President and married to Sheila Reiner. Sheila’s mother Anna Ruth, lived with us at the time. When they heard of this project, Oakland Nursery donated, and planted, thousands of dollars worth of trees, plants, bushes, perennials, etc…

We sincerely thank, and will be forever grateful to, the Reiner’s and Oakland Nursery, along with Pete Trombetti and the O’Grady Family and all the other Contributors who opened their hearts, time and donations to such a worthwhile and everlasting gift.

30 Years of Excellence and Beyond: Continue with us as we share some of our history from the years leading up to present day….

In early 2000’s, a key chapter began with the leadership of Connie Mancuso, our Executive Director. Under her visionary guidance, we became a model of innovation
and compassionate care - here in our community and beyond.

Some of the standout initiatives we’ve pioneered include:

* The introduction of Neighborhood Coordinators
* A shift toward Person-Centered
* Being among the first two facilities in Ohio accepted into the Medicaid Waiver Program
* Creating new roles, such a Memory Care Coordinator and Medication Aide
* Launching Living Moments Education and Training
* Empowering our Staff to grow and become Certified Dementia Practitioners.

Most recently, we’re proud to partner with Corporate as we roll out PAC—Teepa Snow’s,
Positive Approach to Care- across the company. This focuses on the significance of connection, empathy, and person-centered care by educating caregivers and organizations on, not only treating, but understanding the stages of brain degeneration.

Over the years, some programs have changed- as they should. But, we’ve always carried the best parts forward, refining and evolving with each step so we can give quality care.

A major milestone came in 2009 to 2011, a $3.5 million expansion. First floor expanded their dining and activity spaces, along with adding a chapel and some additional apartments. The memory care moved to second floor and nearly doubled our capacity. We didn’t just build rooms.-we created a neighborhood-spaces designed to stir memories, stimulate the senses and encourage engagement. They became places filled with movement, laughter, calm and purpose.

When you think about it, every step taken here has told a story. Some have been quick and light— bringing laughter to a resident. Others have been steady and strong.— offering comfort in a time of need. And, some have been side-by-side.— walking with a colleague, a Resident or family member through life’s ups and downs.

One of our honored individuals has made Harmony Trace feel like a community, nearly all of its 30 years. He has lived here since 1997, now the longest-term resident. Everyone who comes here knows and loves this special man. He is part of us.

By the year 2000, we began to see a growing need for specialized support for memory care services. In response, our third floor was carefully converted into a secure environment designed to provide safety, structure, and comfort for individuals facing the unique challenge of memory impairment.

💜We Walk, In Honor, In Memory, and to Defeat ALZ💜

Our team of dedicated caregivers and staff walk the walk every day by representing the mission of caring for the individuals and families affected by Dementia. We could not be prouder of the quality care and programing we provide here at Harmony Trace. This week we got to take that mission to the Alzheimer's Association, Central Ohio Chapter, Walk to End Alzheimer’s. We are so proud of the fundraising efforts of our community. National Church Residences Harmony Trace will continue to care, honor, and fight for a future without ALZ!

This past week, Harmony Trace had such a joyful and heartfelt celebration for 30 Years of service to the seniors and families in our community.

This is an honor and privilege, we take very seriously. For each of those years, Harmony Trace has been proudly owned and operated by National Church Residences.

We invite you to follow along over the next thirty days, as we share some of our history, which has formed us into who we are today.

September 15, 1995, opening day, as Traditions at Mill Run, in the newly developed Mill Run Area in Hilliard, between Dublin Road and 270. It was the first freestanding Assisted Living facility in Ohio. This was more than a new building - it was the beginning of something special....
