Jennings at Brecksville resident and model ship builder Alex McMaster debuted his latest creation, the Victory Tug. Modeled after the real ship, the boat proved to be seaworthy after some minor weight adjustments. Alex started building model ships at age 70, and when he moved into Jennings, he brought his hobby with him – including 5 historic model ships. He continues model building in his suite at workbench equipped with all the necessary tools. Thanks Alex! We enjoyed the successful launch.

Congratulations to our June staff member of the month, Sal Delvecchio! Sal, pictured at left with colleague Justin Pokorny, is not only a hardworking member of our environmental services team, but some think of him as our in-house comedian too. He's always quick with a joke to bring you a smile.🤣

The nomination for Sal read:
I am writing to enthusiastically nominate Salvatore Delvecchio for Staff Member of the Month. He is an outstanding individual whose dedication and positive spirit make a tremendous impact on both staff and residents alike.

Sal consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic and unwavering commitment to helping others. He is always willing to lend a hand, never hesitating to say yes when someone is in need. His punctuality and reliability are second to none, and his cheerful demeanor brings joy to everyone around him.

Not only does he work hard, but he also brings humor and warmth to the workplace. His jokes and uplifting personality have a unique way of making people smile, even on the toughest days. He fosters a positive and inclusive environment where both staff and residents feel supported and appreciated.

His kindness, dedication, and tireless efforts do not go unnoticed. Sal is truly an asset to our Jennings team, and I believe he is more than deserving of the recognition that comes with being named Staff Member of the Month.

Did someone say pool party? To celebrate summer, our sunny outdoor patio was transformed into the Jennings at Brecksville Splash Bash! Water balloons, red-white-and-blue popsicles, icy cold drinks, sq**rt guns, games, patriotic music, and bubbles created the perfect summer gathering. We had a blast enjoying activities with friends and neighbors while honoring the blessings of liberty and freedom.
