First Floor Lobby

Tom and I had a terrfic visit with Suzy at the Florentine. In these pictures we are visiting in a cozy lobby on the first floor. I hope you enjoyed your tour through the Florentine. Thank you Suzy for a wonderful trip to Merritt and the Florentine.

The Basement Garage

The parking garage is available for residents. Suzy takes a quick elevator ride down to get to her car. There are storage units in front of the cars for each of the units in the Florentine.

The Workout Room

The workout room has several machines to exercise. The one I found the most unusual was the circulation machine that the user simplies stands on it and it shakes the body. The residents using scooters often use this machine to keep the circulation alive in their legs. Notice the basketball game that is available primarily for the kids; it makes this a favorite place to visit for the grandchildren.

Laundry Facility

There are laundry facilities on all floors for the residents to do their laundry. Bedding is done by the facility twice a week if the resident chooses to use the facilities sheets. Their units are also cleaned by housekeeping.

Third Floor Lobby

The visiting area on the third floor is beautiful. I wish my grandaughters could play on that baby grand piano. I'm hoping other grandchildren have taken their turn at playing beautiful music on the piano.

The Patio

There is a large (30'x50') patio on the third floor just outside the pub. There are several tables with chairs and umbrellas or canopy, a large gas grill and heat lamps. Suzy's son grills Sunday dinners here where they often invite a few staff members or residents.

The Pub

The pub is on the third floor, another 24'x30' room. There is a bar complete with wine glasses, a combination ping-pong/pool table , some tables to use for visiting and a 50" screen to watch TV or play Wii. This is another favorite spot for granchildren.
