It takes all kinds to make up a community and whether you enjoy spending time with others or prefer more solitary activities, you’ll find your place at Marian Villa.

The range of optional activities, mostly arranged and managed by residents, contribute to the social, spiritual and mental well-being of all, but ultimately you choose whether or not to join in.

Residents are also a vital link in the day-to-day running of the village helping with maintenance, assisting with upholstering,  fundraising, writing and creating the monthly newsletter, etc.
