Located at 825 South Mount Curv Boulevard in St. Paul’s Highland Park neighborhood, Marvella is an independent and assisted living community offering on-site rehabilitation services to older adults. The community does not hold Medicare or Medicaid certification, making it inaccessible to residents whose primary funding depends on these federal programs.
Dining at Marvella operates on a high-end restaurant model rather than institutional cafeteria service. The community includes a heated swimming pool, fitness center, movie theater, and full salon for grooming services. Guest accommodations in a dedicated suite allow family visits, while garage parking eliminates street-level concerns. Staff handle all housekeeping and building maintenance, enabling residents to focus on personal pursuits rather than home upkeep.
Daily life centers on structured activity programming: fitness classes, lectures, concerts, and topical interest groups form the social calendar. Religious services and resident-led volunteer initiatives are regularly available.
The Highland Park neighborhood ranks 72 on the walkability scale, meaning residents can accomplish most routine errands on foot. The facility sits roughly one mile from Minneapolis VA Medical Center, with downtown St. Paul five miles away.
Marvella fits active, independent older adults who value social engagement, wellness amenities, and minimal household management, and who have private funding or payment sources outside the Medicare and Medicaid systems.
