Situated in the town of Dundalk, this is an idyllic, tranquil home in the rolling countryside, where you have everything you need.

HOLLAND GARDENS - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

Holland Gardens offers a full continuum of care in an ultra-modern retirement community, replete with features. It's a unique experience in Bradford! Independent seniors can move in on their own and acquire care as they need it; this also creates an opportunity for couples with different care requirements to remain together in the same building. Making the move out of a traditional family home into a senior living community is challenging but Holland Gardens makes it inviting.

I love the lovely decorations in the front entrance, the games and library rooms. It makes every space feel homey!

I left my home of 37 years and I was nervous about leaving and not having my own backyard. This is even better! I have my own view of nature from every window and what’s better is it’s maintenance free.

Since moving in, I have enjoyed meeting new people and having activities to share, such as pizza night, wine and cheese night, pot luck dinners, plus games every Wednesday afternoon. Edgewood Suites has become my safe and happy place.

We have been in Holland Gardens a week and already we feel it's our home. The staff are super to everyone, so friendly & helpful. The residents welcomed us with warm "hellos" and great conversations. The atmosphere is warm, the food is excellent and the staff cater to our every need. Just a super place! We recently had a Mediterranean Cruise Week celebration. We had a wonderful time because the activities, the decorations, and the meals were outstanding. We had more fun than some of the real cruises we've attended. Congratulations to "Captain" Shelley and all the Holland Gardens "crew" for such a super week!

We have recently moved our Mom to Holland Gardens from Sudbury and every day we are more and more thankful that we have. Our Mom came from another retirement home so we are aware of how they can be run and our expectations have been met 200% more than what we received before. The staff are always ready to help our Mom to make her stay better. The activities are what she enjoys the most for they are endless. The staff have made her feel so at home and this was an element my husband and I were concerned about with moving her so far away from her home. She has not once said she misses her old home and continues to praise Holland Gardens endlessly. What a relief, for it can be concerning to the families that they did not do the right thing. If anyone is hesitant please don't be, and come [to Holland Gardens to] enjoy what we see daily!!

One of our family members has been a resident for almost three years - as far as we are concerned the entire experience has been excellent on all fronts. From our first "tour" in 2021 with Shelley Snoutten thru to today we simply have no complaints. Any facility worth its salt will ensure people receive a warm welcome at reception but that theme permeates Holland Gardens. Regardless of the day, they are having all staff members bring courtesy and a smile to the corridors & suites of the building. When dealing with the elderly requests can be odd and over the top but even those are handled with care & grace. It's no secret that the dining facilities and quality of food can "make or break" the day of a resident and HG has this well in hand. The menu & quality of food are wonderful (and they are happy to prepare ala carte should the menu of the day not fit the bill) but the dining room goes well beyond this. The servers are attentive & courteous knowing many of the residents on a first-name basis. Rounding out the food, servers & environment is the attention to detail such as doubled table cloths with color changes between lunch & dinner and matching cutlery at every comfortable chair. After every sitting the dining room is cleaned and prepared for the next meal - the dining room is ready and welcoming to any passerby. The nurses, housekeeping, and maintenance staff all bring seamless care to everyone they encounter - these people are the very pulse of HG. None of this is by accident - anyone paying attention knows this trickles down from the top and in the case of Holland Gardens that means Shelley Snoutten - if you have a family member in Holland Gardens they are ultimately in Shelley's care and rest assured they are in the very best of hands. I'm a fan - Shelley brings the perfect combination of business acumen, care, compassion, and discipline... Speaking for our family's experience - Holland Gardens has exceeded our every expectation.

The time came when my husband and I decided on senior living. We went to many residences but when we walked into the doorway and inside we just felt at home at Holland Gardens Seniors Residence. It was beautifully decorated with that “at home” feeling and everyone we met was so friendly. We had an appointment with Melissa who showed us around and we were happy to make the decision to move to Holland Gardens. Melissa was so honest and helpful in every way. If it wasn’t for Melissa the outcome might have been different. Selling in this economy was not easy but Melissa helped us with every step along the way. Gary and I have now been here for awhile and just love it. So many activities and a pool table, theatre, gym, spa and gourmet meals What more could you ask for and we are close to our children and grandchildren as well. We are in our early 80’s and we just love it here in our 2 bedroom apt. as well as a balcony to read a book on.

Holland Gardens is a beautiful place to live! My parents have lived there for a year now, and we have nothing but good things to say. It has such a homey, welcoming feel from the moment you walk in the front door. The building, itself, is beautiful and well kept, but it’s the incredible staff who make it exceptional... they consistently go above and beyond the call of duty, and are so kind and attentive to the needs and concerns of the residents. The meals are not only consistently delicious, but also beautifully presented, and they switch up the menus regularly to incorporate a lot of variety. I would say that the only downside of this place is that I’m still too young to live there, lol. My husband and I would move there in a heartbeat if we could! :)
