PRESS RELEASE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swiss Village has been a cornerstone of the Berne and Adams County community for 56 years.\u00a0 Over the last two years Swiss Village has worked to progressively move toward creating a new\u00a0 dynamic outlook on senior, lifestyle-based living, while mindfully keeping its rich legacy at the\u00a0 forefront of growth and innovation. Through an in-depth strategic planning process, the Swiss\u00a0 Village Board of Directors, Strategic Planning Committee, and the Swiss Village Senior\u00a0Leadership Team has recently announced the roll out of a strategic project that will launch\u00a0 Swiss Village toward dynamic growth and opportunity. Project LIFE will be a multi-phase\u00a0 project allowing Swiss Village to provide greater person-centered care and services while\u00a0 focusing on innovation and lifestyle-based living environments desired for the future.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swiss Village\u2019s mission statement \u201cPursuing Life Together\u201d breathes new life into the\u00a0 organization. Board Member Bertie Lehman states, \u201cWe believe there is nothing greater than\u00a0 a group of people, Swiss Village Residents, staff, and families, living, and working alongside\u00a0 one another to create a lifestyle of community, connection, and contribution that allows us all\u00a0 to pursue life together. When you look at the new mission statement the one word that sticks\u00a0 out to us is the word LIFE. It is part of our Strategic Plan and our goal to create an\u00a0 environment here at Swiss Village where residents and staff come to truly live! To do and try\u00a0 new things, create new opportunities, friendships, and take new leadership roles. A place\u00a0 where everyone has the opportunity to live LIFE! Inside the word LIFE is where we find our\u00a0 new Swiss Village Set of Values: L \u2013 Leadership I \u2013 Innovation F \u2013 Faith E \u2013 Engagement. It is\u00a0 our hope that our new Mission Statement is one that is energizing, and our new values\u00a0 challenging yet meaningful. We hope that our Swiss Village family and our community will\u00a0 embrace this moment of celebration as we begin a new adventure of embracing the Swiss\u00a0Village legacy yet set out to move Swiss Village on a new course to embrace the future.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first phase of Project LIFE was recently completed with construction and hallway\u00a0 modifications taking place in the northwest neighborhood of Edelweiss, where Swiss Village\u00a0 had been housing rehabilitation and therapy services. At the same time, the former rehabilitation neighborhood of Westenfeld was brought back to life in preparation for\u00a0 therapy and rehabilitation services to return \u201chome\u201d after a long COVID driven vacancy. Swiss Village is proud to announce the opening of the new Alpenrose Memory Care neighborhood\u00a0 which has moved into their new living space, the former northwest neighborhood of\u00a0 Edelweiss.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christen Sprunger, Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations notes, \u201cPursuing Life\u00a0 Together – we are excited about the future of Swiss Village through this strategic project! We look forward to strategically moving Swiss Village forward! We know and understand that\u00a0 growth is difficult, and change is never easy, yet we too know that progress comes when we\u00a0 seek to be leaders, create an environment of innovation, rely on our Heavenly Father to direct\u00a0 us, and engage in LIFE together!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
