Before making their final decision and selecting the Moravian Manor Communities’ Warwick Woodlands Campus, Jim and Donna Wetzel visited five communities. Four selection criteria were high on their list of priorities. And Moravian Manor Communities met all four, and much more.
First and foremost, the Wetzels were looking for a community where they could comfortably age in place with a continuum of care. Moravian Manor Communities’ residential living homes and Life Plan offerings strongly appealed to Jim and Donna. The community’s supportive living neighborhoods accommodate the changing needs of residents as they age in place. Moravian Manor Communities also achieved another one of their objectives. The Wetzels wanted to provide peace of mind to their son and daughter. Jim explained, “We did not want to worry our children as we aged; so, it was important for us to establish ourselves in a senior community like Moravian Manor Communities.” Donna added, “Living in the community is like paying it forward – a gift to our children.” Jim and Donna also desired an ideal senior community within a larger community like the town of Lititz that offered a stimulating and active lifestyle featuring many community events, activities, amenities, and services. And, in the words of Jim, “We wanted a senior community with a very good financial record. We could check that box too with Moravian Manor Communities.” It should be noted that Jim’s professional career had been in the field of finance.
