Pitman Manor, a UMC Community

03/19/2026

For Exercise Physiologist Robert Hoblitzell, innovation at Pitman Manor is about understanding how our residents move today so he can help support how they live tomorrow.

Through the use of AI‑driven wellness technology like VSTBalance from VirtuSense Technologies, Robert gains deeper insight into residents’ balance, gait, and functional movement — allowing him to make proactive, personalized decisions that support their safety, confidence, and long‑term independence.

✨ Teammate Spotlight: Meet Azure Rae! ✨

At Pitman Manor, dining is about more than food. It’s about creating joy, connection, and unforgettable moments – and Azure Rae, our Assistant Dining Director, does exactly that every day.

Not only does Azure Rae oversee dining room operations, she also brings creativity to life through themed meals and special events. From spring tasting menus and boardwalk inspired lunches to Masquerade Balls, Mardi Gras, and festive holiday celebrations, she turns everyday meals into meaningful experiences our residents love.

Her favorite part of serving seniors? “I enjoy making people happy. I want to make our residents feel at home and help them enjoy every moment.”

All eyes on the nails 💅✨

Manicure day at Pitman Manor brought out the polish, the confidence, and a whole lot of style. When it comes to looking and feeling your best, our residents always nail it. 💖

🌸 Join us this Wednesday, March 4, at The Philadelphia Flower Show! 🌸

Team Pitman will be in the “Blossom & Breathe” section from 4–8 p.m., sharing how our wide range of programs and services are thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique wants and needs of each resident.

We’re also excited to showcase how we’re using artificial intelligence to help residents stay active and healthy, along with everyday education that supports brain health and helps prevent or delay memory loss—and so much more!

🌼💐 We had a daffodil‑ightful time arranging flower bouquets this week!

Thank you to our wonderful volunteers and mom‑daughter duo, Anna and Lexxi, for helping our residents feel the love ahead of Valentine’s Day. ❤️🌸

The The Best Day of My Life So Far program is a Pitman Manor favorite! 😃

Students from Glassboro Public Schools High School join our residents each month to swap memories, laughter, and a whole lot of wisdom. From classic “back in my day” tales to “you won’t believe what happened last week,” these conversations remind us that whether you’re 17 or 87…

👉 everyone has a story worth telling
👉 everyone has wisdom worth hearing
👉 and sometimes, bridging generations starts with three simple words: “Tell me more.”

Every day in Pitman is a reminder that community is the mission. ❤️

Thank you to all our Board Members, teammates, and partners for making UMC’s Annual Board Retreat such an inspiring — and yes, energizing — two days! 🎉

Together, we celebrated a year filled with big wins, new partnerships, and incredible progress across our full‑service communities, affordable housing communities, and HomeWorks.

But the real highlight? Our people. The teammates and leaders who show up every day with a commitment to helping every older adult we serve live abundantly.

There’s so much good work ahead — and we’re ready for it! https://umcommunities.org/resources/blog/rooted-and-rising-a-celebration-of-purpose-progress-and-the-path-ahead/
