At The Villas of Holly Brook, Assisted Living Week is more than just a calendar of events—it’s a celebration of community, connection, and care. Each game played, every theme day dressed for, and all the laughter shared with friends, family, and staff are reminders of what makes our communities so special.

This week allows us to pause and recognize the joy that comes from living life together—whether that’s through a root beer float, a round of bingo, a pajama day, or a heartfelt concert on the patio. It is a chance to celebrate the wisdom of our residents, the dedication of our staff, and the strength of the friendships that grow here at The Villas of Holly Brook.

We are grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside our residents and their families every day, and this week shines a spotlight on the happiness, warmth, and togetherness that define The Villas of Holly Brook.

Here’s to a week full of memories we’ll cherish—and to many more moments of joy in the days ahead!
