“God is using the work and ministry of Mt. Hope to be a light for our community,” said Kris Wilson, director of advancement for Mt. Hope Nazarene Retirement Community in Manheim. “Some families even describe Mt. Hope as an ‘answer to a prayer.’” You can help support the retirement community’s mission by having dinner on Friday, May 13. Mt. Hope will offer a curbside pickup barbecue meal from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the LCBC Manheim campus, 2392 Mount Joy Road. The meal will include fire-grilled chicken from Peters’ Barbecue, saucy smoked baked beans with bacon, a baked potato with sour cream and butter, a dinner roll with butter, a fruit cup and a homemade dessert. Proceeds from the meal will benefit the residents and facility, which provides skilled long-term nursing and rehabilitation care for seniors and disabled residents, regardless of their ability to pay. “ With a heart to serve seniors and the disabled on low and/or fixed incomes, Mt. Hope is home to 50 residents who need nursing care in
Rapho Township, Manheim and beyond,” said Wilson. “Most of our residents at Mt. Hope do not have the financial resources or the broader supportive network to cover the cost of their care. There is an average gap of about $150 a day per resident between the state Medicaid reimbursement rate and the actual cost of care for our residents on state assistance.” Last year, Mt. Hope covered approximately $1.4 million of unreimbursed care costs or charitable care. As part of a capital campaign renovation project, Mt. Hope has fully upgraded its 29 resident rooms and has fully renovated the first-floor women’s and men’s public restrooms. Funds are still needed to upgrade the main parking lot of the facility as well as the resident common areas such as the resident first- and second-floor lounges, the dining hall and the conference room. “The Medicaid funding gap makes it increasingly difficult for Mt. Hope to absorb the cost of benevolent care without searching for other alternatives to offset rising costs and continuing with creative fundraising initiatives,” Wilson said. “The drive-through meal … provides a way to not

by Friday, May 6. Extra meals will be available on-site while supplies last. No handling of money will occur on the day of food pickup. When picking up meals, customers may leave payment in a drop-box in the form of exact change or checks made payable to “Mt. Hope Nazarene Retirement Community.” The cost of the meal is $17.
