Villas of Holly Brook - Chatham

My loved one seems to be in a good place. I like that it is assisted living. The staff is excellent, and they are always able to keep me updated on my loved one. I like the fact that the community is able to do blood draws when needed, this is a huge relief for me.

My mother has been at Hollybrook for 2 years and we are very happy with the place. Even with the Covid-19 problems they are often coming up with novel entertainment ideas that are thoughtful. I am impressed with their safety measures as well. Before Hollybrook we were at a facility in Springfield that cost much more and the staff was quite bad, regardless of the shift. We also tried another that had very good staff and also cost much more but my mother didn't like the multiple levels or the formal, stilted atmosphere. This place doesn't have those problems at all. As others have said, the Hollybrook price is quite competitive, the single level is great for exercise and figuring out how to get around and the homey atmosphere of the place is not intimidating.

My mom has been at Hollybrook for a year now. We took her out of a much more expensive facility to be closer to home. Before that she was in a more expensive facility for rehab that packed people in like sardines. She actually likes Hollybrook better because it is more like family and there is lots to do. She likes going to the movies, most every afternoon. An added bonus is that it's cheaper than Springfield facilities. The staff has been great, too. The best way to put it is that it's very nice but it's friendly, not fancy and lonely.
