St. Marys - Meet a Resident

Otterbein St. Marys couple in complete agreement on decision to move to Otterbein St. Marys — they love it! John and Marjorie Jessup moved to Otterbein St. Marys in December 2006.

"Having been one of the caregivers for a mother-in-law with Alzheimer's who refused to leave her home, we knew immediately that we did not want to put our children in that position," Marjorie said.

The couple considered one place that was close to their hometown of Piqua because they had had an aunt who resided there, but a few years later they discovered Otterbein St. Marys while looking at homes near Grand Lake St. Marys. They researched Otterbein on the Internet and then called for more information.

"While it wasn't as close to Piqua, it was the active and long-term retirement community we were looking for," they said.

For the Jessups, the small size and sense of family at Otterbein St. Marys was very important. One of the biggest draws was being on the lake in a small rural community.

The Jessups also have been impressed with the service they receive as residents of the lakeside community.

"We have such a wonderful director and partners. They all just go that extra mile to help us with most everything we ask of them. They are friendly, helpful and cheerful no matter how busy they are. It is a close-knit campus. You get to know almost everyone. We feel safe and secure on this campus. It's nice to know there is always help if you need it. We feel truly blessed to be able to live at Otterbein St. Marys," Marjorie said.

The Jessups are in total agreement on their decision to move to Otterbein St. Marys.

"We are completely satisfied. We would encourage anyone looking for a progressive retirement community to visit Otterbein St. Marys and see for themselves why we are perfectly content living here," they said.
