Belief in Ohio Living’s mission drives decisions

We know there are many factors to consider when you’re thinking about a move to a life plan community like Ohio Living Cape May. You may want to be close to family and friends or live in a specific state or town. You may even be looking for a certain type of lifestyle; one that has added amenities and high-quality care if you need it.

All of those factors were important to Brad Reynolds and his family when his parents, Bill and Joyce Clark, were considering their move to Ohio Living Cape May 13 years ago. 

Brad knew the Ohio Living organization well, having worked at our corporate office from 1990 to 2010. As a believer in our mission and the compassionate care we provide, Brad found it easy to recommend Ohio Living to his own family. “I knew the move to Ohio Living Cape May would provide Mom and Dad the opportunity to remain social and busy, while freeing them up from taking care of their home and property,” Brad explained.

While Bill passed away in 2011, Joyce still lives in the original villa they occupied together. She enjoys the company of her 12-year-old bichon frisé, Teddy, regularly participates in campus events, manages the campus’s resident-run convenience store, and loves to plant and tend to flowers around the community. “I’m so glad I’m here,” Joyce said. “I have everything I need and a great network of friends – it’s a wonderful life.”

Brad has become a daily part of his mom’s “wonderful life,” serving as executive director of Ohio Living Cape May since moving back to his hometown in 2015 when the position became available. “Returning to Wilmington during this season of my life was meant to be,” he shared. “It’s an honor to assist residents and their families that I knew growing up. I’m living proof that you really can come home again.”
