Testimonials
 “I’m very content and just so comfortable
with the homey feel of the Holiday. I feel
safer here than if I lived at an apartment
complex by myself. When Jeanne
[The Owner] brings in her dog Kona ….
My day is brighter. Also I’m thrilled that
Evelyn [Activities Director] is carrying on many of the activities like those when I worked at the north Hartford senior center.” - Mary Brown – Current Resident
 “When I was living alone in my apartment
in West Hartford, I had some falls and even broke my hip. After my rehab, I visited the Holiday and said {to myself} ‘This is for me. This is so affordable’. The staff takes care of my meals, housekeeping, and laundry while
I have more time to enjoy lots of reading.”
- Marion Horan - Current Resident
“My mom worked at the Holiday for about 15 years. When she needed some help, we toured a few places but picked the Holiday because it really feels like home. The staff is so unbelievably supportive and caring. A family-run business has a true family value system and everything is focused ultimately on the residents.”
- Roger Cyr – Son of a Resident
"I can not say enough about how wonderful the staff is to my mother and how comfortable I am knowing my mother lives at The Holiday."
- Attorney Barbara Collins - Daughter of a Resident
“My mom needed a short term stay before returning home from rehab. I called West Hartford social services and was given some options to consider. I chose the Holiday from among the places I visited. Their respite program is just what she needed. The staff were there for my mom everyday during her five week stay. It was such a positive experience.”
- Martha Conneely – Daughter of a Respite Resident.
“I think people grow there. I see such a change in my mom. She is relaxing and becoming more and more her best self. She feels free to do that here. It’s been such a healing place, not just for her but for the rest of the family.” - Ginnie Christiansen, West Hartford
“I’m just so comfortable with it, the people here and the staff. They’re friendly and the care. I would highly recommend it to others.”
- Maureen Mancini, Avon
“We’re delighted! The residents are given a quality life with the least interference. They’re allowed to be whatever they want and have their personalities shine through.” - Helen Welch, South Windsor
“My daughter who is a social worker did the footwork for me because I didn’t know where to begin. She went to The Holiday and said, “Mom, this is the place!” So I went and fell in love with it. Now, my mom is with people and doesn’t have to worry anymore. It has worked out beautifully and I’m very pleased.”
- Susan Girard, South Glastonbury
