Dining and Socialization
Just like it is in your home, the dining room at The Holiday Retirement Community is the meeting place where residents share more than a meal. The warm, cozy, ambience reinforces the feeling of being at home with family. From casual conversations about the day’s events to nostalgic reminiscing over past years to sharing a joke and more, we see some of the most wonderful relationships building here at mealtimes.
Of course, the quality of the meals have a lot to do with this happy, comfortable dining environment. Not limited to enjoying each other’s company while dining, residents will often go and play a card game or work on a puzzle together after a meal.
