Nice Experience
I have lived at the Holiday since March of 2023. Moving from a larger facility to a homelike environment has been a welcome change. Not one for large gatherings, I would recommend the Holiday for a feel at home level of comfort.

About the facility
The Holiday Retirement

Peace of mind. At The Holiday we feel that everyone should be able to have this comfort regarding their parent. We know that you don't want to be worrying about whether your parents are eating well, are secure in their homes, or feel alone and isolated. Not only will your minds be eased from the comforts we provide, but life will also be more relaxed for your parents without them having the stresses of life such as cleaning and doing laundry, paying utility bills and taxes, or grocery shopping.

The Holiday serves three well rounded meals a day, is located in a safe neighborhood, and offers daily activities within a friendly community so your parents can interact with others. We offer beautiful spacious studios and have an atmosphere that truly feels like home. Daily laundry and housekeeping services, utilities, and meals are all included in the monthly rent.

The Holiday Inc. Independent Living Community
From the initial phone inquiry and for almost 5 years, The Holiday has shown a genuine caring and responsive approach with our widowed brother and our family. The Holiday staff are very dedicated and hard-working in servicing his needs and have provided a safe and comfortable place for him which was particularly critical through the pandemic. Its smaller size makes it more personable for him to interact with the staff and other residents as well as easier to get around while still having the privacy of his own room. Meals are well-prepared and the dining room is pleasant. Weekly activities like watching movies and playing bingo are enjoyed and also the special holiday tributes and birthday celebrations for the residents. The Holiday's location in the West Hartford community also makes it very accessible for family visits and by outside service providers when needed. We were fortunate to find The Holiday during a difficult time and greatly appreciate all that they continue to do!

observation
As a private Caregiver, my client since moving to Holiday Retirement in West Hartford Ct. looks forward to and attends social and hands on activities (which he did not engage in at larger previous retirement facility). Friendly/ Patient and Understanding of their residents needs, as a smaller/family owned retirement residence, this is the place to consider for you or your family member.

Feels like home
From the moment you walk thru the door you feel comfortable. Everyone there is caring and you can feel it. It really feels like a family. I have had friends who have lived here and the meals are 5 star restaurant quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Holiday Retirement

The Holiday Retirement offers Studio. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Holiday Retirement 9.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
