The employees that I was in contact with were friendly and nice. I was disappointed that it was a kitchenett (no cooking). I was looking for independent Iiving. I want to cook my own meals. This place is actually for assisted living. It's fine for someone who needs those amenities, like 3 prepared meals a day, a night snack, all inclusive rent, in house beauty shop, etc. I can't comment on the meals because my tour was in between meal hours.

I went to Celebrate South Holland. What I liked least is that the studio apartment is tinier than what I expected. What I liked best was it was a homey, warm, and welcoming type of place. My sister was with me, and she said it felt really great when she walked in there with me. People were up and milling around. You just had a sense that this is a nice, homey place. I also had the sense that going into a facility wouldn't be as traumatic. You get three meals a day. The staff was very polite and helpful. The lady took us on a nice tour of the facility. Along the way, she told us about the amenities and everything. My sister and I both enjoyed it. We got a chance to see the dining room and the menu for that day. They had nice seating areas. They had a cafe if you wanted to get together, sit, and get a drink. We saw the laundry room. The dining room was nice and a nice size. They even had a space for nondenominational social services. They had elevators. The apartments were really nice. We saw the business office, and I was really impressed by that. People actually work there. The neighborhood was pretty. All the utilities are included in the amount.

Celebrate South Holland was very secure. You have to have a special code on the elevator because they cater to a lot of memory care residents. When I first walked in, it was very welcoming. I sat in the dining room with the residents who were more like independent living. They looked very happy and they were all getting along and being inclusive with everybody. It was a good mix of people. There were some older and younger seniors, and they seemed to enjoy staying there. They have very early breakfast hours from 7 to 8, but the lady offered me coffee. They were very accommodating. They also showed me the menu and how they rotate their food and specials, and how they kind of separate the memory care and assisted living dining. It was like a smaller area for them and they had some of the staff sitting with them saying, "Don't forget, you need to eat." They were very caring. The rooms were just very small. It seemed to me like it was an old hotel. It didn't seem very accessible if you were in a walker or a wheelchair (although I didn't see anybody on the grounds in a wheelchair or whatever. Most of them were mobile). I was also told that they were in the process of remodeling. They had a couple of exercise facilities and a nursing area with medical staff on-site, too. The staff was very nice. They knew other residents by name and the residents themselves were not afraid to approach the staff. They were very lovely. You could tell that they enjoyed their job and liked being there. It wasn't a show just for people who were visiting. The facilities were clean, but the cleaning products they used were very strong. It was also a little antiquated and a little bit more geared toward people with dementia/memory issues. It didn't look like my mother would thrive there and make friends. Even though when I walked in, the independent residents were very accommodating and lovely, it didn't seem like there was a lot. Also, there was a $25 application fee, a $25 doctor visit fee, and a $2500 buy-in fee. The cost was more than the other facilities that I visited, that were even nicer.

I went to Celebrate South Holland. It's kind of dated. I did see that they were doing some renovations, so that was nice. The model rooms that I saw seemed pretty nice. They looked to be well-kept and clean. It was a pretty nice size for a one-bedroom. The person who assisted me was very helpful. She was very honest. She gave a lot of good information. She was open to any questions that I had to ask. She was really good. I didn't go too far into the dining area. I only saw it from the distance, but the staff broke down the menu for me. It was pretty informative. They have a regular TV on each floor. They do grocery trips. They do light activities in the facility. I wish they had a little more to do.

When we visited Celebrate South Holland, we came to the back of the building (not realizing it was the back of the building), and the person that accommodated us at the door was very, very unfriendly because we came to that door rather than drive around the building in a wheelchair. I told her that all she had to do was just open the door up and let us in since we were already there. She finally got up in the end and let us in. We were then given a tour by a different individual who was very, very hospitable and very polite. The rooms we saw were very, very nice and very spacious. I think what I liked the most was they had two entries to the unit. One coming into the kitchen and the other one coming into the bedroom. We liked that idea, because if you wanted to have any people there, you could have them in your living room and no one would have to come through the bedroom. They have games and activities for the residents there, too. It was a wonderful tour experience, except for that one person who met us at the door.

My mom has been a resident of Elevate South Holland for a week now, and it's a nice place. They are attentive to her needs, and the staff has been fine too. My mother has the studio and it's a nice size. It's got an air heater, and air conditioning, other than that I had to provide for the rest. It is a nice room. They got 1-bedroom unit but that would be too much space for my mother, she doesn't need that space. They watch movies, and they take them out to Walmart or to go do grocery shopping. They have activities, they have movie night downstairs, and every couple of weeks they have wine or something like that. The people are happy over there. They've got a library, and they got a couple of exercise machine over there.

When my family was first looking for a place for our mom, this was the first place I visited. The coordinator at the time was very nice, so understanding and knew exactly what my family and I was looking for to assist our mother with what she needed for her comfort once she left the comfort of her own home that she had been in for forty years with my father who passed away a couple of years ago. The staff was nice and clean, interacting with the residents and the residents that we spoke with also gave the staff, the food and the other residents A-1 praise.The only reason why the family decided to go with another facility was it was closer for all of us to get to in order to be close to mom. If this facility is close for you to be close to your love one by all means give it a try, come in talk with the staff, view the facility and see the smiles of the residents.

Holland Homes was pretty, but the rooms could've been nicer. It's a nice place. We tasted the sweet rolls and coffee and they were good. The staff was very nice and very helpful. The sweet rolls and the coffee were all we had, but everything looked really nice.

It seems like when I go over to Holland Home, my mom is always in the bed. There's not enough people to take care of her. The facility seems nice.

Holland Home is a nice place. My mother is in assisted living and I like it. The staff is professional. I haven't seen anything wrong as of yet. I like the director. It's clean and the food is good. The staff is nice. My mother tried to walk out, but they were right there on it. They're watching her. The reason why she's there is to be assisted and it is being done. They have movies that they show, church services, puzzles, and bowling, and there are exercises to work with to strengthen their brains or hands.

I really, really liked Holland Home. It was an older facility, but it has really been modernized. The pricing was very reasonable. It has a very nice theater, and they have a lot of activities. They have a coffee house, a beauty and barber shop, a library, a theater where they have light presentations, and they have sing-a-longs at night. They have a dining room where actually you order off of a menu and they bring it to you, and I liked that very much. I thought that the staff was very nice. I would rate it a four because the rooms were older. They were all studios for the main part, and the bathrooms were smaller, but it was a very, very clean facility. I liked the dining room, and the theater room was really nice. I thought that it was not chaotic and very homey. It has a gazebo and like a park area where people can go out into and sit and they have balconies on each floor where the residents can go out and sit.

From what I saw, the facility is a good place to put a loved one in. The staff that toured me around showed two different rooms on different floors. When I visited the place, I saw the residents doing some exercise activities and some were walking around. She also showed me a room where they can have people come in and have services or they can have meetings or have movies in there. She explained to me that they can take meals in their rooms. I saw a nursing staff member and she gave me some literature. So, I think that would be a very good place and it's also close to us.

We have our parents in Holland Home. They have been there for about a month now. We chose this facility because they have plenty of amenities that we like, say for example, an in-house doctor and dentist. They're also serving good food. I have eaten there on several occasions actually. It is also the only place that would let my parents stay together in an apartment; other facilities that we visited wanted to split them up. The apartment that my parents have is one of the biggest that they have. It has the most square footage. It is also the only apartment that has a little kitchenette which includes a full-sized refrigerator, a microwave over and a low sink. It also has a separate living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. The staff is very nice and polite. They are respectful and very friendly. They get to know the seniors really quickly so that they knew my parents by their names after only being there for a couple of days. I'm very pleased with them. They have a list of daily activities posted all around the facility. They also posted them in the elevator, which is great, I thought, because most of the people can see that. The best thing about this place is how they treat their seniors. They treat them more like their own family, not just clients. To me that's very appealing. I would definitely recommend them.
