Connecticut Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman Visits Newly Renovated Senior Center at Marvin Children's Center
Published On: Aug 23, 2013 Connecticut Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman paid a visit to the Marvin Children's Center to not only visit the children, but also to visit its newly renovated senior center.
The senior center is a former school renovated into 14 residential housing units and 36 additional units in the new addition.
"I told you I'd come visit," Wyman said. The center which is subsidized by the state of Connecticut serves residents over the age of 62. Wyman was greeted by residents who all claimed to be very content with their living situations.
Betty Mayer, a 98-year-old resident, exclaimed, "It's a great place to stay. We have everything we need and spending time with the children keeps us from getting old!"
"I think it's such a great program and a great place," said Wyman about this amazing center which is unique for pairing the seniors with the young students. "This is what truly makes this unique and different from ordinary senior housing or child care facilities."
