For our second edition in the “Meet the Lifestyle Director” series, we would like to introduce Rachel Bechard from Traditions of America at Lititz!

Where are you from?

Born & raised in Lititz, PA. Currently living in Manheim, PA

How long have you been working for Traditions of America?

Two amazing years!

What got you interested in working as a Lifestyle Director?

I love working with people and have a background in Customer Service. I love helping people and the idea of serving the same people every day (helping them grow, make friends, and live their best lives) was extremely appealing to me.

Why do you like working at Traditions of America at Lititz?

Our team is simply the best. Everyone I work with is dedicated, empathetic, and a team player. We all want to see our community succeed, so we go above and beyond and help one another out every day.

What’s the most interesting thing you’ve seen/been a part of while on the job?

We turned the clubhouse into a murder mystery dinner theater for a night and it was spectacular!

What’s something that has surprised you about your chosen career path?

I was surprised at how my previous jobs have prepared me for this one. I’ve had to use knowledge and experience going as far back as my High School job in food service! I am a “Jill of all Trades”, and I love that I get to utilize my various levels of knowledge and experience daily.

If you had one super power to help you with being a Lifestyle Director, what would it be and why?

I would want to get jobs done like Genie from “I Dream of Genie” or Samantha from “Bewitched”. Just *bobs head* or *twitches nose* and *poof* Things get done!

What types of things can people look forward to by moving into Traditions of America at Lititz?

The sky is the limit! We have it all, from games, sports, social activities to volunteer opportunities, and clubs and committees that allow you to make real, deep, lasting friendships. This community is seriously one big family.

What is your favorite part of the Traditions of America at Lititz community?

Probably the volunteers. We have so many homeowners who help make our activities and events all the more magical for their help. Because of them, many of our activities are free or have little cost associated with them. We have homeowners who teach Line Dance, Water Aerobics, Bone Builders, and Yoga! We have others who cook and bake for our events. We have even more who teach art, card-making, sewing, knitting, crocheting, and the list goes on! Beyond activities, we have “Helping Hands”, a club who will help neighbors with trips to the airport, cook or grocery shop for them when they’re sick, and do handy-man jobs around the house. We also have “Community Cares Committee”, who works with local charities to give back to the community of Lititz. They run several programs throughout the year, always helping those in need: Veterans, children, homeless. It’s that attitude of giving back to the community and using your talents for the good of all that makes TOA Lititz so special.

What’s your favorite part of Lititz, PA?

Lititz Springs Park. It’s built up around a natural spring and it’s covered by hundreds-year-old trees, so between the natural spring and the tree cover, the park is always cool. That’s why Lititz is the “Coolest Small Town in America”

If there were three words to describe Traditions of America at Lititz, what would they be and why?
1. Warm: Everyone is always smiling and excited to welcome their new neighbors to the community
2. Active: There is never a dull moment in our community!
3. Generous: Our community is always helping others – through donation drives, volunteer services, and kind acts.
In your opinion, what is the biggest aspect of Traditions of America that sets us apart from other 55+ communities?

The lifestyle. I don’t think any other community offers a life like this. My homeowners have a community in the literal sense: “a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.”

Lititz Knows How To Live Better and Have Fun!

Residents at Lititz have been busy….busy having FUN and embracing the Live Better lifestyle. Rachel Bechard, Lifestyle Director at Traditions of America at Lititz in Lancaster, PA, provided a glimpse into some recent seasonal happenings at this active and popular community. An all-around favorite, the Murder Mystery Dinner Theater, was a crowd-pleaser at Shady Maple Smorgasbord, the largest buffet in America. Residents rented a private ballroom for the event, and it was tons of fun! As they settled into their seats and were introduced to the cast (from Third Space Theater), they were surprised to learn that in this edition of the show, some members of the audience would be playing characters, as well! A dozen volunteers later, and the show was ready to begin.

Each person played their role beautifully! Some took their acting very seriously, like Lee Madison, who was one of the characters to die, and made sure everyone knew it. Bravo, Lee! The food was also amazing. With hundreds of options along the eye-popping buffet, there was something for everyone. We got 4 mini-intermissions to replenish plates between acts. Needless to say, by the time the show was over, everyone was not only entertained but completely full, as well! In the end, the audience uncovered the “murderer” (played by our own Sherrill Baumgartner), and everyone who correctly guessed her as the culprit got a prize. Lititz homeowners had a wonderful time and you can be sure that event will be booked again by popular demand.

Gearing up again for another favorite event, Lititz homeowners recently held their annual Chili Cook-Off. There were a dozen contestants and over 50 eager chili-tasters who showed up to sample and vote.

Four categories were judged in the contest: “Most Like Mom’s”, “Best Use of Spice”, “Best Decorations” and “Best Overall”. The decided winners were:

Most Like Mom’s: Chris Jensen
Best Use of Spice: Colleen Harris
Best Decorations: Julie Brouse
Best Overall: Betty Martin

With Thanksgiving around the corner and the holiday season and New Years Eve on its heels, Lititz residents will be sure to continue the celebrations and festivities!

Lancaster named the NUMBER ONE place to retire in the country by US News & World Report!

US News & World Report unveiled 2019’s Best Places to Retire in the U.S. last week and, my oh my, Pennsylvania did well! Florida and Texas cities also ranked well, but our very own Pennsylvania holds the TOP spot with Lancaster receiving the highest honors. And, we are proud! Another feather in the cap goes to Pittsburgh for ranking as the FIFTH best place to retire in the country.

Lancaster, Pennsylvania, topped the list at No. 1 due to increases in housing affordability and the overall happiness of its residents. And, it’s no wonder. We hear all the time from our homeowners at our active adult community at East Petersburg that they simply LOVE where they live. And, that makes sense. Lititz is often warmly referred to as “America’s Coolest Small Town.” Editors at US News & World Report had this to say: “Lancaster offers a balance between natural and commercial spaces that residents appreciate. Expansive farms rub elbows with manicured suburbs, which lead right into the bustling city. A short drive can take one through each of these environments. Each area boasts its own unique groups of inhabitants: farmers, families, college students and young professionals. From close-knit church communities to the indie coffee shop scene, Lancaster holds something for everyone.”

Fort Myers, Florida, jumped from No.15 to No. 2 due to increases in desirability and happiness scores. Sarasota, Florida, fell from No. 1 to No. 3 this year due to a decline in both overall happiness and desirability. Austin, Texas, jumped to No. 4 from No. 9 due to an increase in desirability, followed by Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, rounding out the top 5. Here is what the editors had to say about Pittsburgh: “Known by nicknames like Blitzburgh and Steel City, Pittsburgh is on the verge of greater heights. Emerging from a dying steel industry, Pittsburgh is earning another name: reinvention city. Since the steel mills closed in the 1980s, Pittsburgh feels cleaner and full of energy. Pittsburgh encompasses almost 2,000 acres of land in just its city parks, and offers county parks, state parks and riverfront parks to its residents.” Our residents at Cranberry, Summer Seat and Richland definitely reap the benefits of living so close to Pittsburgh, yet surrounded by natural, wooded areas and open space.

The rankings offer a comprehensive evaluation of the country’s 100 largest metropolitan areas based on how well they meet Americans’ expectations for retirement, with measures including housing affordability, desirability, health care and overall happiness. “Deciding where to retire is a big decision,” says Emily Brandon, senior editor for Retirement at U.S. News. “The Best Places to Retire offers a way for future retirees to make a more informed decision based on what matters the most to them. Whether that be housing affordability, access to quality hospitals or the desirability of a place in general, the rankings offer a comprehensive list that can point people in the best direction for their needs.”

This year, U.S. News increased the weight of the desirability metric from 10% to 15% as it provides a more balanced understanding of the opinions gathered through consumer surveys. Desirability is one of the six factors in the 2019 Best Places to Retire methodology that includes housing affordability, desirability, retiree taxes, the happiness index, job market and health care quality. These measures were selected and weighted-based on a public survey of pre-retirees (age 45-59) and retirement-age (age 60+) individuals across the U.S to find out what matters most when considering a place to retire. Data sources include the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as well as U.S. News rankings of the Best Hospitals.

Here are the top ten:

(1) Lancaster, PA, (2) Fort Myers, FL, (3) Sarasota, FL, (4) Austin, TX, (5) Pittsburgh, PA, (6) Grand Rapids, MI, (7) Nashville, TN, (8) San Antonio, TX, (9) Dallas-Forth Worth, TX and (10) Lakeland, FL. Another Pennsylvania city earning high marks was Allentown, PA in the Lehigh Valley coming in at number 18. The Lehigh Valley has been a long-time favorite area of Traditions of America, having completed several successful communities there with a new one on the way: Traditions of America at Green Pond in Bethlehem. Visit one of our communities today to see for yourself what the buzz is all about – you’ll be glad you did. And, get on the list to hear the latest news about Green Pond.

Lititz Residents Taking the Live Better Lifestyle to the Next LEVEL: Travel, Travel & MORE Travel!

While in Nice, residents will experience Nice first-hand, starting with a tour of Nice, the Chagall Museum, the Nice Flower Market, and Notre Dame Cathedral. A side-trip to the quaint seaside town of Ventimiglia and well-known San Remo, Italy is on the itinerary, as well as excursions to Monte Carlo, Cannes and St. Tropez!

Working tirelessly, often times behind the scenes, our employees are truly the “Team Behind the Dream” and they enable Traditions of America to set the gold standard for 55+ living day-in and day-out. Our new “Meet the Team Behind the Dream” blog series is specifically devoted to highlighting the people who work hard to ensure our homeowners Live Better every single day in their DreamHome.

Cue Rachel Bechard – Lifestyle Director at Lititz. Read on to learn everything from Rachel’s most memorable career moment as Lifestyle Director to what superhero she would be … and more!

Q: Describe your typical day at TOA:

A: Every day is different, but it starts the same: listen to voice mails, check emails, answer questions, review the calendar. From there it can go from attending committee meetings to setting up for events. As Lifestyle Director at Lititz, I plan speakers and events, and I get to know the Lititz homeowners. I spend a lot of time listening to the homeowners – they are genuinely the coolest people. I’ve been in customer service my whole life, and the most important part of customer service is listening: getting to know your customer, their likes, dislikes. Getting to know the homeowners at Lititz has opened up a world of possibility when it comes to planning events, trips, and speakers.

Q: Favorite part of your job?

A: Planning and putting on events for homeowners. I love working with our social committee at Lititz to do fun, extravagant things! In February we had a Valentine’s Day Dinner Dance catered by Scarlet Runner (all locally-sourced, made from scratch gourmet catering). For Cinco de Mayo, a DJ came to our party and led group dances. This month we are turning our clubhouse into an Escape Room experience for Lititz!

Q: Most memorable moment in TOA career?

A: When one of our actors got sick and had to bow out of playing in our Murder Mystery production and I stepped in as “Simone Carlton” (THE MURDERER!) for our show!

Murder Mystery Dinner Theater; Rachel is third from right front row

Q: Career theme song?

A: “Eye of The Tiger”

Q: If you were a superhero, who would you be, and why?

A: Karin Murphy from The Dresden Files. She is tiny, fierce, loyal, and her “superpower” is that she’s just plain human. She’s able to face horrors beyond anyone’s imagination with grit and determination. She fights monsters and protects people. She is strong, noble, and always there for her friends.

Q: First job ever?

A: Bussing tables and rolling silverware for Hoss’s Steak & Sea House (the one right down the road from Traditions of America at Lititz!)

Race Against Racism 5k

Q: Where would we find you after hours?

A: At a local craft brewery or outside by the pool!

Q: Word that best describes you?

A: Heartfelt

Q: If your life had a movie title, what would it be?

A: “Tiny, but FIERCE!”

Q: If you were stranded on a desert island and could only bring three items, what would they be?

A: A boat to get back off the island, a pitcher of craft beer, and sunscreen (because your skin is your best friend!)

Q: If you could meet any historical person, who would it be and why?

A: Vincent Van Gogh. I’d love to tell him how much his art would shape future artists for generations to come. It seems so unfair that such a creative, talented human being died penniless, thinking he was a horrible artist, consumed by depression and loneliness.

Lancaster, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Allentown & Harrisburg Ranked Among the Best Places to Retire

When you think of places to retire, what locations pop into your mind? If you said Florida, you’re among many Americans who feel the same. But, you don’t have to move to Florida to live better in retirement! In fact, according to U.S. News & World Report, five Pennsylvania cities ranked exceptionally high among the best places to retire in the U.S.

U.S. News & World Report released its latest ranking of the top places to retire in 2018 and Lancaster ranked an impressive second in the nation, Pittsburgh ranked 8th, Philadelphia ranked 19th, Allentown was 25th, and Harrisburg ranked 38th. Rankings were based on index scores for overall happiness of residents, housing affordability, desirability, retiree taxes, the job market, and health care quality.

Lancaster County ranked highly for housing affordability and health care quality. U.S. News noted that it “offers a balance between natural and commercial spaces that residents appreciate.” Our Lititz community is centrally located in Lancaster County and offers residents easy access to a variety of shopping, dining and cultural options in downtown Lititz and beyond.

Similarly, Pittsburgh was lauded for offering retirees a better value. Pittsburgh has become a hub for technology and education with ample green space and cultural sites. Residents also have a strong sense of community and independence. We have two 55+ communities in the Pittsburgh area: Summer Seat and Pinnacle at Adams, where retirees are raving about the live better lifestyle.

With Philadelphia ranked 19th and Allentown at 25th, our community at Saucon Valley has the best of both worlds: close proximity to Philadelphia with its eclectic mix of history, sophistication and charm, yet nestled within the Lehigh Valley, with the Blue Mountain range to the north and South Mountain to the southwest. Allentown’s convenient location, commitment to healthy living and celebration of the arts make it a great place for active folks to settle down.

Harrisburg earned its spot on the strength of the variety of outdoor activities, thanks to its proximity to many recreation amenities like the trails along the Susquehanna River and Riverfront Park, the Appalachian Trail, and more. Harrisburg is a metropolitan area with a small-town feel. Our Silver Spring community, in Mechanicsburg, is in Harrisburg’s backyard.

Thousands of homeowners call one of our many Traditions of America communities home. We strive to provide a world of opportunities for enjoying the lifestyle and home of your dreams and for living better. We invite you to discover all that we offer at TraditionsofAmerica.com.

Rock on! Celebrating Lititz’ Role in Rock ‘n’ Roll

How could Lititz, America’s “Coolest small town,” get any cooler? By adding a new chapter to its storied rock n roll history!

Lititz recently hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the Hotel at Rock Lititz, a five-story, 139-room hotel that will cater to touring major entertainers and their production crews who are using the Rock Lititz Studio rehearsal space. The new hotel and restaurant is scheduled to open in Fall 2018.

The new Hotel at Rock Lititz is another link in the city’s storied connection to the touring entertainment industry.

Not a lot of people outside the county know about Lititz’ deep connection to rock ‘n roll. Our small town supports some of largest touring acts in the world!

Lititz is known as the epicenter of concert production technology, thanks to the pioneering work in sound amplification by Roy and Gene Clair, stage construction innovators Tait Towers (who has created the stages for industry heavyweights like Bruno Mars, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Taylor Swift and many more), and scene designers Atomic Design. Every aspect of major concert tours – sound systems, stages, set design, lights and visual effects – are centered right here in Lititz!

Traditions of America’s active adult communities are located within highly desirable (and exciting) locations across Pennsylvania. Each location offers a wealth of shopping, culture and entertainment right in your backyard. For more information on Traditions of America’s active lifestyle communities, we invite you to visit us online at TraditionsofAmerica.com.
