Review Summary
The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.
Many reviews highlight the beautiful facility and caring, skilled staff at Holland Farms, noting the thriving atmosphere with plenty of activities and fun things for residents. The community is described as family-like, with a top-notch memory care program and a passionate team that treats residents like their own family. The activity program and the dedication of the staff, including the activities director and front desk personnel, receive special praise for their originality and warmth.
However, some reviews raise serious concerns about the management and maintenance of the facility. Issues such as a high turnover rate among directors, constant repairs, and a lack of urgency in addressing building issues like leaking showers and broken AC units are mentioned.
