Marian Place

Diane

Marian Place is near the river and there's a church next door to it. It's very nice and it's a friendly place. The studio was a little too small. For me, it would have been like living in a closet. The person who lives next door to the room that I was interested in went to lunch with me, and we walked around and saw the laundry facilities and that sort of thing. Other than the fact that I was kind of tired that day and it was a little too much walking for me, it was a good place to be. There was a dining room, and it was pretty much taking a tray, collecting your food, and then finding a table. The food was fine. I don't remember quite anymore what we had, but I walk with a walker and they did volunteer a person to carry my tray if I needed it. There were a couple of ladies who were knitting and I think it was some sort of a class. They have computer facilities there that you can use. The lady that we dealt with in the office was ready to retire, and I think she has since retired, but she was very helpful and very friendly. It was clean and tidy and not hard to get around in. With the walkers, sometimes you have to walk around things, but there were no major obstacles for me to navigate or anything. it's probably a little bit expensive for me if I want something more than just a studio.
