As the joy and excitement of preparing for the holiday season nears, please remember to share the special gift that each and every one of us possess – Love. Love is so important to God that it is mentioned hundreds of times in every translation of the Bible. I remember during my early days at Sunday school that our instructors would pull the classroom in a circle and tell stories of how Christ referred to love as the greatest commandment of all, and how He spent His ministry demonstrating love to His followers.

Learning to love God’s way provides the most tangible picture of Him available to the world. Nothing will draw you closer to Him or to others than walking in unconditional love. As my wife and I are raising our two beautiful and inquisitive young girls, we try to demonstrate that true love encompasses enthusiasm and passion, and it bases itself more on trust, commitment, and action.

I encourage all of us to love someone today through your actions: give a gift, a loving touch, a personal note, or an act of kindness. For it was Saint Thomas Aquinas who shared that to love is to will the good of another.

Message from the President of Columbia Cottage

January Family of the MonthEva Lang

Family of the MonthFrances Landis

Hi everyone!My name is Frances Landis. I

have been a resident here at “the cottage” for almost three months. I grew up in York, Pennsylvania, with a large family of five brothers and four sisters.

I was married for 66 years to my husband, Jim. We enjoyed going to the beach, crabbing and traveling.

My son Michael lives in Florida and my daughter, Jamie lives nearby in Palmyra. I have seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. I really appreciate the care and kindness of the staff in my “new home”.

Holiday Greetings

Celebration of Life

As the Holiday season approaches, we have a great deal to reflect on at Columbia Cottage. Our residents and families, we continue to be most thankful for your support and confidence in our care, for truly the cottage does not exist without our residents and their families who continue to believe in our philosophy and continue to sing our praises in the community. We thank you and feel blessed to have you as part of the Cottage family.

We are grateful to have a wonderful team that provide outstanding care to our residents, and they continue to enjoy the comfortable, home-like environment which separates us from the rest.

Thank you to our Partners for service including Hospice, Home Health, Lab, Podiatry, Dr. Gilhool, and therapies; we appreciate your collaboration efforts in bringing the residents of Columbia Cottage quality care and supporting their desire to age in place.

We have been very blessed with a great work place and cherish our excellent team. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

Our Resident Holiday Christmas Parties for our families and residents will be held December 4th for Apartments 1-27 and December 11th for Apartments 28-53. Come join the fun and fellowship from 5:00pm-7:00pm.
