Resident of the Month

We are delighted to announce Jeffrey and Louise Mahan as our Residents of the Month! Since joining us at The Oscar, the Mahan’s have become a vibrant part of our community, bringing with them a lifetime of service, a love for learning, and a truly infectious positive outlook.

Both Jeffrey and Louise are ordained United Methodist clergy with distinguished careers. Louise served congregations in Chicago and Denver, while Jeffrey shared his knowledge as a professor at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver.

When asked what they are most proud of, their answer is twofold: their dedicated service to the church and the joy of raising their wonderful son. One of their most cherished memories is watching that same son grow up to become a fantastic father himself.

Their journey to The Oscar started from very different landscapes:
Louise grew up as the oldest of four in the beautiful woods of Northern Michigan.
Jeffrey was the oldest of five, raised in the bustling city of Seattle.

Today, they’ve traded those climates for the comforts of The Oscar, choosing our community to be close to their son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. They noted that the top-tier amenities and the “nicest apartment” made the decision easy.

What do they love most about living here? For Louise and Jeffrey, it’s a mix of the social and the practical.
“What do we enjoy most? Not cooking! And of course, the other residents—everyone is just so friendly.”
They are frequent faces in our exercise classes, attendees of the Life-Long Learners programs, and regulars at our special occasion events. In their quiet time, you’ll find them reading, working on puzzles, enjoying music, or planning their next travel adventure.

With a lifetime of experience, the Mahan’s have some excellent advice for those considering a move to senior living:

Pack Light: Don’t bring too much with you.
Choose Carefully: Consider the amenities and ensure the staff treats the community like a true home.
Be Content: The most important lesson they’ve learned in life is to choose to be content.

Above all, what makes them the happiest is simply spending time with one another. We are so grateful to have this wonderful couple as part of our family!
Congratulations, Jeffrey and Louise!
