Villas of Holly Brook Streator
5.0

I would say to check out this community. It was one of the best communities that I have seen. They have activities like bingo, cooking, baking, they did an Easter egg hunt for the community and kids got to join also. They also had a mardi gras party and try to celebrate all of the holidays with the residents. The staff are very good and easy to communicate with. I can call, email, communicate in person they take care of things immediately.

The community is very clean and the staff is very nice. The food is pretty good and they have activities available for the residence to participate in. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience
