Retired business teacher, Marge Brennan, came to Mahoning Street Personal Care Home soon after she and her family came to the realization that living on her own wasn't the best choice for her, as she needed more personal care. However, she didn't yet require the intense attention of a skilled nursing unit. Thus, Mahoning Street PCH seemed to offer just the right amount of responsiveness, while maintaining Marge's sense of independence. Since her move to the facility, marge has quickly become acclimated to her new home, expressing much satisfaction with the environment, people and services. According to Marge, she doesn't possess any doubts about having chosen Mahoning Street PCH because the staff goes the extra mile to meet her individual needs. "They go out of their way to do things for me," Marge lauded.
In particular, Marge is delighted with her private suite which boasts a bedroom area, kitchenette with microwave, sitting area, and bathroom. Marge also enjoys spending time in the common lounge area where she can visit with other residents or welcome her own visitors. For Marge, the fact that meals are provided throughout the day was an important item on her must-have list, when choosing a facility, since cooking for herself is not an easy task. In fact, Marge praises the home-cooked meals, saying, "The food is absolutely delicious."
Living her entire adult life on Woodland Avenue, with her now late husband, John Brennan, a former principal at the local high school, Marge is thrilled that she could find a personal care home right in her hometown. Likewise, the newly built facility offers a comfortable dwelling place for its residents. Marge summed it up well as she professed, "I like it here very much. I'm very happy. it's a beautiful place."
