Testimonials
Here’s what some of our residents are saying…

“I enjoy the privilege of attending daily holy Mass most about living at Marian Village.”

-  Betty K., resident for 3 years


“The openness and warmth of both the staff and the other residents is what I enjoy about living here.”

-  Sr. Teresa C., resident for 3 years


“I enjoy the security and cleanliness of Marian Village. I enjoy the hospitality of the staff. They are wonderful.”

-  Edward K., resident for 2 years


“I enjoy a lot of things here. The meals, chapel, having a washer and dryer in my apartment. There are no worries about taking care of a house or having to call my son to do repairs.”

-  Dolly F., resident for 2 years


“First, I like the apartment that I have with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, dinette and a very nice kitchen with all the appliances. It is ideal for me coming from a single family home.”

-  Jane W., resident for 3 years


“I enjoy the friendly staff, the welcoming attitude of the residents, but most of all, and most important to me, is the peace of mind that comes from knowing when a light bulb needs replacing, the heat goes out or any of the ordinary, everyday things that can go wrong for anyone, all that’s needed is a phone call to maintenance for the problem to be fixed.”

-  Mary Ruth M., resident for 7 years


“I enjoy the freedom from home repairs and heavy gardening work and, of course, the residents. Since my husband died it’s important for me to feel safe living alone and I do feel safe here.”

-  Kaye P., resident for 10 years


“I enjoy the company of many good persons who are simply courageous, sincerely continuing the journey of life’s transitions. I appreciate the staff who kindly enable vibrantly our life in a bright, activity filled, educationally developed, environment of care and safety, making peace a priority.”

-  Sr. Delores B., resident for 3 years


“The friendliness of all the residents. The “Good Mornings” and “Good Afternoons” said with a smile. That makes my day."

-  Les S., resident for 2 years


“I appreciate our ‘coffee break’ which is a regular time of meeting with the managers of various departments, hearing what is going on, having a chance to ask questions and share ideas.”

-  Sr. Teresa C., resident for 3 years


"There’s a variety of good entertainment planned for us. There’s also game shows, weekend movies, white elephant sales, etc. Best of all is bingo on Mondays and Fridays. That one’s my favorite."

-  Betty M., resident for 4 years


“I enjoy exercise class and the fitness room. I use them often. It’s beneficial for my continued health.”

-  Edward K., resident for 2 years

-  Dolly F., resident for 2 years


“The life-enrichment staff makes an effort to have something for everyone. You can be as busy as you want to be. For example, there is bingo, bunco tournaments, art appreciation, crafts and much more.”

-  Mary Ruth M., resident for 7 years


“The life-enrichment department provides us with plenty of activities – bingo, bunco tournaments, Wheel of Fortune and good movies in the game room. There’s different card playing games with pinochle and poker. You can even help your neighbor with dominos.”

-  Jane W., resident for 3 years


“The staff acts more like friends and family than employees. The activities are geared to all levels of participation and skill.”

-  Sr. Delores B., resident for 3 years

-  Sr. Teresa C., resident for 3 years


"Dining for dinner each evening with our new family of friends, we have lots of laughter and smiles, plus a fine meal. Then, best of all, we can walk away with no dishes to clean! Also, our younger servers are like a breath of fresh air. They’re cheerful, jolly and very accommodating."

-  Betty M., resident for 4 years


“No more cooking. I enjoy the food and getting to talk to people.”

-  Dolly F., resident for 2 years

-  Jane W., resident for 3 years


“The dining room is very attractive and the service and food are very good.”

-  Sr. Delores B., resident for 3 years


“My home is compact but it has all that’s necessary. I have a washer and dryer in my unit. I love to spend time outside so my deck is wonderful.”

-  Sr. Teresa C., resident for 3 years


"The view to the outdoors is perfect and my floor plan is well arranged."

-  Betty M., resident for 4 years

-  Edward K., resident for 2 years


“I like my outside view and enjoy the personalization of my apartment. It is like home.”

-  Dolly F., resident for 2 years


“Moving into one of the homes made the transition from home owning less difficult. I could still have a small garden, put up outside decorations for the different holidays, all the things I enjoy doing. I enjoy the patio in the nice weather and like the convenience of the attached garage. It’s a small thing but I like the lower height and roll-out drawers in the kitchen cabinets.”

-  Mary Ruth M., resident for 7 years


“I like how they want to satisfy all the people that live here. They have excellent bus service that takes us shopping, to different restaurants for lunches and the casinos. It shows you that they care.”

-  Jane W., resident for 2 years


“My apartment is the best facing south, having much light all day. I have a deck and I’m on it all the time in good weather where friends join me. Housekeepers help me stay clean and neat and cheerful. I can cook, read, sleep and have space to entertain groups of family and friends.”

-  Sr. Delores B., resident for 3 years


“I appreciate the clean atmosphere and the walking paths that allow me to walk the short distance to the main building.”

-  Al M., resident for 7 years


"I am finding out that our rates are far more reasonable than any other location."

-  Betty M., resident for 4 years


“I can go to church everyday and do not have to leave the building. Other places only offered once a week Mass and we would have to travel to church. This was one of the main reason I chose Marian Village.”

-  Ed K., resident for 2 years


“We have a beautiful chapel and all the hallways are lit up properly for safety. What else can I say? It’s a pleasure to live here. I love it!”

-  Jane W., resident for 3 years


“I have the freedom to pursue my time used in positive, life-giving ways supported by the structure at Marian Village. It is independent living with back-up in a emergency.”

-  Sr. Delores B., resident for 3 years


“I’m glad I’m here; I love being here.”

-  Betty K., resident for 3 years


“The deli is a gem on two counts: to pick up something light to eat and to meet other residents and sit and chat.”

-  Sr. Teresa C., resident for 3 years


“The whole environment is carefully set by the staff who themselves care. The young persons who serve in the dining room are an inspiration to me. They’re a fine group of a new generation.”
