Marilyn Luongo conceptualized Maveric Lifestyle Lodges S.A. after the death of her beloved father who had a stroke at the age of 87 and died 4 yrs later in his own bed. It was then that Marilyn started her crusade to provide a REAL service for REAL people when they retire and old age catches up with them. Her vision is not to sell a house to a retired person. But rather, the offer of an investment in a better quality of life in their twilight years, surrounded by special personal possessions and the animals that they love, and when the time comes to pass on, to do so with dignity and self worth. Marilyn herself has survived a heart attack and a stroke and since then she has had an interest in improving the quality of life of elderly people by means of alternative healing. "I would like this to be their last happy home from home for life where they can have their family and grandchildren feel welcome and where there are no rules and regulations that impair their independence and basic human rights" says Marilyn Luongo of Maveric Lifestyle Lodges S.A.
