Meet Sue
For independent living resident Sue and her husband, the benefits of moving to a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) were one of the biggest draws of Otterbein Pemberville.
“My husband and I wanted to make the decision that we move out here, unlike what happened in my mother and father’s case, when a doctor made that decision,” she said. “We wanted to make it so our two children did not have to make it. And believe me, my children said we gave them the best gift we could possibly give them.”
The couple enjoys staying active on campus. They also remain involved in their own activities and routines.
“We try to stay as much involved [on campus] as possible, but I also run my daily schedule too. I have the best of both worlds,” said Sue.
