We rang in the Lunar New Year in the most exciting way at Pitman Manor! 🐲

Our teammates and residents were thrilled to welcome special guests who performed the traditional Lion Dance — bringing color, culture, and lots of good fortune to our community. 🧧🥁

🌼💐 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.”

Interested in volunteering at Pitman Manor and brightening our residents’ day? Learn more about volunteer opportunities by reaching out to Sharon Yesner, our Volunteer Coordinator, at SYesner@Umcommunities.org.

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/

Thank you to UMC's senior leadership team for taking the time to be here, to listen, and to support our team.

We appreciate you — and we’ll always save you a seat at our table! 🍽️

What does leadership look like at UMC? Sometimes…it looks like French toast shaped like footballs! 🍽️🏈

Last week, UMC President & CEO Mark Lenhard and other members of UMC's senior leadership team visited Pitman Manor, a UMC Community for "Food for Thought" — a special tradition that allows them to visit each community to cook a meal, spend time with teammates, and hear firsthand what they need to feel supported in their roles.

Here’s to 25 amazing years — and many more! 💙

A special shout‑out to one of our incredible young volunteers, Maddox McNee! 🎻🌟

This talented violinist performs with impressive orchestras across New Jersey — and we’re honored that he shares his musical gifts with our residents.

His performances bring joy to our community, and this video is just a small glimpse of the magic he brings each time he visits. 🎶💛

We'd like to give a special shoutout to our INCREDIBLE maintenance team for staying ahead of the weather and making sure our grounds were safe and accessible for our entire community this past week.

From all of us at Pitman Manor, we THANK YOU for braving the cold and going above and beyond for our residents and fellow teammates! ❤️

🌟 “The best is yet to come” — That’s the heart of Elaine Scheetz’s journey to Pitman Manor — a move filled with courage, connection, and newfound joy.

From saying yes to her first coffee social… to personalizing her apartment with treasures she loves… to reconnecting with old friends and welcoming new ones… her story is a beautiful reminder that community can transform everything.
