IHA Tenant Profile: Alice Buchanan the Weinberg House
Alice Buchanan moved from Frederick, MD to North Carolina to take care of her daughter, Angela, who had kidney failure. Angela was in the Navy and served for 20 years when she retired. Upon Angela’s death, Alice stayed in North Carolina to raise her daughter’s children.
When the children became adults, Alice wanted to come back “home” to Frederick, MD. Alice was looking for an apartment, so she asked her friend who was living in Frederick to help her with her search. Her friend connected Alice to Weinberg House. As soon as Alice heard there was a vacant unit she immediately returned to Frederick. Alice Buchanan moved into Weinberg House on May 12, 2015.
Other than Alice, there is only one other person who has lived at Weinberg House since Alice moved in.
Alice says she is blessed since she is still able to drive. Having the independence to take herself to doctors, to get groceries, and shopping.
Alice likes it at Weinberg House. She gets along with all the tenants. She is happy that everyone gets along! They have cook outs and spend holidays together. They play bingo, do Christmas cards, and sit on the porch together when the weather is nice.
Alice likes how her apartment looks since they were redone. She enjoyed seeing the transformation from how the apartments looked compared to now. One thing Alice misses about her old apartment is the big countertop space.
