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.
