Under One Roof/The Marvin was the most delightful place. It was a pleasant experience going there. A friend from church was there. I wasn't going to visit him necessarily, but I just happened to see him. The apartment I saw was very nice. It had a little living room, a generous-sized window, and a lot of light (that's my greatest need so I can look out and also work during the day). Then it had a small bedroom and a bathroom that was a converted shower. It was very small. There's a toilet and a teeny basin. I liked the kitchen but I needed a bigger bathroom to be comfortable. The feature that I found most delightful was that I could have my cat with me. Not many places allow people to have animals so I was glad about that. The feature that I thought was most unique was, that this was an old school building, and adjacent was a daycare center, all on the same property. So, the seniors and their children would have an opportunity, if they chose, to interact with each other once an hour each day. I thought that was great, mixing the two extremes of the age range. I was pleased with that. The rent was based on one's ability to pay and what was included with the price was security. I felt that there were a proper number of people on staff around the clock. So if somebody had a problem, there would be somebody to run to and in attendance to get help. They offered one meal a day and everybody would be at the dinner table if they chose to. There were two large living areas, one with a very large TV screen, and the other one was a much larger area, but a quiet one, sort of like the interior of a library. One could imagine being in a school since this was a school at one time that was made into apartments. The staff was very caring. My friend whom I visited from church said that the staff are wonderful. The facility was beautifully clean. It was old but it definitely had a nice fragrance. Not perfumed, but it had a clean smell and you could see people working who were emptying trash and running vacuums. It was several floors.
