What Landis Communities does

Landis Communities is a not-for-profit, faith-based senior living organization headquartered in Lititz, Pennsylvania, serving aging adults across south-central Pennsylvania. The organization operates a comprehensive continuum-of-care platform organized into three segments: continuing care retirement communities (Landis Homes on a 114-acre campus and Welsh Mountain Home), home and community-based services (Landis at Home and Landis Adult Day Services), and quality living options including affordable and middle-market rental housing (Mountain View Terrace, Steeple View Lofts, Landis Place on King, and the forthcoming Cornerstone at 6th & Chestnut in Reading, PA). Complementary offerings through affiliated entities — Friends LifeCare (aging-in-place planning), Lancaster Downtowners (senior community engagement), and Pathways Institute (lifelong learning with 40+ classes per semester) — extend the platform beyond residential care. Brand and community engagement assets include a quarterly FLOURISH magazine, a Speakers Bureau providing free educational presentations on aging and dementia, and active engagement with the LNP Readers' Choice Awards program.

The business model is multi-stream: recurring monthly residential and personal care fees from CCRC residents (independent, personal care, and skilled levels), subscription-style in-home care fees from Landis at Home clients within a 15-mile service radius, recurring rental income from approximately 151 55+ market-rate apartments and 36 affordable units (plus 46 more in pipeline), and managed-services revenue from affordable housing development through Low-Income Housing Tax Credit partnerships. Pricing is quote-based and varies by care level; charitable contributions and a Charitable Gift Annuity program ($10,000 minimum) supplement earned revenue and fund benevolent care that reached $3.9 million in FY 2024-2025. The organization is governed as a 501(c)(3) (EIN 30-0706945), affiliated with the Atlantic Coast Conference of Mennonite Church USA, and led by President/CEO Larry Zook, COO Evon Bergey, CFO Corey Hamilton, VP HR Linda Lownsbery, and VP Advancement Beth Trout. Distribution is overwhelmingly direct through owned and operated facilities in Lancaster, Lititz, New Holland, and Reading; mission-aligned partnerships with HDC MidAtlantic, Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, Age-Friendly Lancaster City, Everence, Positive Approach to Care (PAC), and Bright Side Opportunities Center support the housing, advocacy, dementia training, and wellness layers. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML systems, or disclosed revenue figures were identified in the input material.
