On March 17, we gathered for a truly meaningful evening as we dedicated our new Founders Tribute in the Chapel Hallway — a space created to honor the women, churches and community that shaped Homeland’s beginning.

Nearly 160 years ago, 18 women from nine Harrisburg churches came together with a shared purpose: to care for those most in need. Their compassion and determination laid the foundation for what Homeland is today — a legacy of dignity, community and care that continues to guide us.
During the evening, a special litany of dedication was shared, giving thanks for the founding churches whose ministries helped bring this vision to life. As each was named, we were reminded of the enduring impact of their service — a legacy that continues to live on through the work of Homeland and our community today.

We are grateful to all who joined us to reflect, remember and celebrate this important moment in our history.

Special thanks to those who helped bring this evening to life:

Pine Street Presbyterian Church
Market Square Presbyterian Church
St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral
Grace United Methodist Church Hummelstown PA
Salem United Church of Christ, Harrisburg, Pa.
Zion Lutheran Church, Enola PA
Gamut Theatre Group
Historic Harrisburg Association
Gourmet Grazing

As we look ahead to Homeland’s 160th anniversary, this space will stand as a lasting tribute to the women and churches who forged the way — and a reminder of the mission we continue to carry forward every day.

March is National Social Work Month, a time to recognize the compassion, advocacy, and expertise social workers bring to those they serve.

This year’s theme from the National Association of Social Workers—Social Workers: Uplift. Defend. Transform— highlights the powerful role social workers play in supporting individuals, families, and communities.

At Homeland, our social workers play a vital role in supporting residents, patients and families through life’s transitions. From providing guidance and resources to offering comfort and understanding, their dedication helps ensure every individual feels heard, supported, and cared for.

We are deeply grateful for the difference our social workers make each day — and for the impact social workers have in communities everywhere.

During Women’s History Month, we honor the extraordinary women who laid the foundation for Homeland.

In the years following the Civil War, women from Harrisburg churches came together to create the Society for the Home for the Friendless, offering care and dignity to widows and orphans in need. Their compassion, leadership, and determination became the beginning of a mission that continues nearly 160 years later.

Today, their legacy lives on through our all-women Board of Managers, whose dedication helps create the warmth, comfort, and sense of home Homeland residents experience every day.
We are proud to celebrate the women who shaped our past and those who continue to carry their vision forward — a lasting thread of compassion, strength, and service.

Every planned gift represents a lasting commitment to Homeland’s residents and to the values that have guided the organization for decades,” said Marion C. Alexander. “Through thoughtful planning and generosity, donors can ensure that Homeland’s promise of dignity and compassion endures far into the future.”

We are grateful for Marion’s dedication to preserving Homeland’s mission and future. Her leadership and advocacy for planned giving help ensure that generations to come will continue to experience the care, comfort, and compassion that define our community.

Learning at Homeland is interactive, engaging, and focused on what matters most—keeping our residents safe and healthy.

Latashia Simmons, Infection Control specialist at Homeland, recently designed an interactive escape room experience to help staff strengthen their infection prevention skills. Teams worked together to solve challenges related to hand hygiene, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), cleaning and disinfecting, and recognizing and responding to potential infection risks.
Congratulations to our winning team, who completed the challenge in just 17 minutes!

Thank you to everyone who participated with such enthusiasm and teamwork—and to Latashia for her creativity and leadership. Innovative learning opportunities like this help ensure our staff remain confident, prepared, and committed to providing the highest level of care.

Trust is more than a promise at Homeland. It’s something you can feel every day in the relationships we build, the care we provide, and the moments we share together.

As Jennifer Murray, Director of Personal Care and HomeCare, reminds us, trust is personal. It’s in the gentle touch, the smiling faces, and the commitment we’ve upheld for almost 160 years. It’s who we are, and who we will always be.
