Monte and Mark were born and raised in Saginaw County. However, after their parents died, life took them on separate paths and they rarely saw each other during the intervening 25 years.
Monte moved to Community Village in 2019 and this year Mark’s guardian, noting the way Monte thrived, made arrangements for Mark to share a room with his brother.
The two men are inseparable and have surprisingly similar affinities for activities, friends, and even favorite meals. They quickly agree that Irma, Chantell, Kim and Sabrina are their favorite caregivers. Monte enjoys a daily game of “Sorry” with another resident, but both Mark and Monte like playing BINGO and enjoying a weekly movie with popcorn. They agree that their favorite meals are chicken quesadillas, spaghetti, and tacos.
