Our Perspective

How we see 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.

In a few short years, they have created a close-knit community of friends, where new people easily fit in. Staff like to highlight the luxurious resort-like lifestyle here (and well they should!) but we think there’s also a special downhome feel to Holland Gardens. The warmth of community begins at the top, with supportive staff and administration, but that easily extends throughout the building, where you witness many comfortable friendships among senior residents.

You’re going to love the food here, served by an exceptionally created culinary staff who love to make dining a great experience; meals are much more than just a plate of food, they’re food creations! The interiors, here, are bright and spacious throughout, starting with the warm, welcoming lobby highlighted by a fireplace. Among suites, there are four very ideal choices. Finally, while many people here will enjoy the independent living suites and the relaxed communal living, there's also assistance available for some basic personal healthcare needs.

Yvonne Marleau, family member

"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 c..."

Mark Weston, family member

"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 build..."
