My niece is the one who was at the facility . They were very kind to her. They were very helpful. They were very informative. Even the residents were very nice. My brother in law made friends immediately and he loves it there.
She sent me a video they look of his apartment and it is very nice. Just enough space for him. Everything is included she did get him extra wifi. He uses a video phone because he is deaf. There is a mini fridge in each apartment and I believe she brought his own microwave if I'm not mistaken.

Overall a nice community
I haven't had much interaction with staff other than when my mom first moved in in the spring. I know my mom participates in some daily activities. She does, however, say she would prefer a better variety at meal time as she can only eat fish and chicken as a protein, no red meat allowed in her diet. Maybe big salads for lunch and veggies. Soup is ok but the salt needs to be controlled as she cannot use or have salt in her diet. Also would like more communication with the staff, monthly meetings either in person or zoom on All in all a great place.

Review for Holiday Farmington
The Holiday is working out ok for my parents. There has been a few things that they were not happy with, but they are figuring it out. The cleaning service doesn't always happen and it's frustrating because that is part if the rent. There has been a few other issues, but for the most part it's been going ok. It's not easy to go from owning your own home to an apartment. The physical therapist [name removed] is wonderful and the residents are very nice and so are the caregivers. I don't know if they will be able to afford staying there long term, but we will figure that out. I hope this is helpful.

renovations were ongoing when we visited. cleanliness is a 5 other than renovation clutter. there are a lot of activities to do. We only went twice to look at the place a year ago. While my uncle decided to continue living on his own. He is still interested in the facility for the future.

It's a great place. Mom is no longer there but both my husband and I said we could live there. The staff is so very helpful. If it wasn't for your help I don't know what I would have done. I had no idea where to start.

..Our experience with Holiday as been exceptional. The only complaint we have is.....
Only the restaurant. I do not like that if a resident is not in the restaurant by 8am, 12noon or 5pm, they might not be served. Also, I was there for 10 days and maybe 2 of those days what was on the daily menu was actually served or available. And...there are no diabetic selections sometimes.

Overall would recommend.
The staff is nice but the facility itself is pretty run down. Tape on carpets in halls holding carpet tiles in place. Laundry rooms aren't clean. Not much in the line of activities. Weekly cleaning service is ok but not great - sometimes they don't vacuum. The food isn't too good. All this being said, I'm not living there - I moved my brother in there and he's not as fussy as I am so other than the sub-par food which he doesn't like, he doesn't really care about the rest of it. I sure would if I lived there.....one of the main attractions for me was that my brother would have 3 meals a day but he rarely goes to the dining room. This problem is two-fold: he doesn't like the food and is also depressed so he stays in his apartment. All this being said - I must say that his newly renovated apartment is lovely.

Overall, a warm and comfortable place to live
Friendly staff and residents. The renovations made. Monthly rent is affordable
Lacking staff. Facility definitely needs to hire more people
Seems like they can't retain a decent chef/cook for long enough. I praise the general manager for stepping in and cooking for awhile. I think if a decent chef is hired, food would improve. Portions are fine though.

Improvements needed
The facility is in need of upgrades. They recently did cosmetic upgrades, such as painting and replacing carpeting, but the apartments have outdated appliances. They are unable to maintain kitchen staff, so the meal service can be very slow. Maintenance is slow to respond, and sometimes when they do, it is just to apply a band aid that will need to be fixed later on. Rent is increased every year, but the services remain subpar. My mother was relatively happy there until about 6 months before I moved her in with me.

All food and utilities included within and proximity and price. I would tell a friend, that the transportation isn't as easy to manage last minute and the meals have not been as up to par as when my parents first moved in.

Corporate not interested in resident needs
Experience - food is a big issue
Cleanliness - residents are a little sloppy
Friendliness - staff is willing to listen to issues but follow thru is lax.
Meals - poor quality, cold, under cooked, runs out of food options on menu
Activities are minimal. There is nothing outside, no bus, no travels.
Value - questionable

We worked with [name removed] and after touring other places Holiday was the place. Issues get addressed as best as possible. Lack of staff does make things harder for those that are there.
Very happy here. Highly recommend.

Everything about Holiday Farmington is a 5 star. They just renovated the entire building/inside and there is new carpet, new furniture, new paint, new everything. The staff are kind and supportive and engaging. They were serving tea tonight for International Tea Day just now. My mom plays cards and Rummicube and goes to exercise class. She helps run the little store 2 days a week and tomorrow they are having a Greek celebration with music, food and culture. In comparison to other places we looked at, my mom gets a good value for her money. I could go on and on, my Mom acts younger since she moved in here and she is 92 years old. So overall, I would say she is having a wonderful experience.

Review for Holiday Village Gate of Farmington
Initially the reviews showed horrific reviews about the food and I voice my concern very early on about the quality of food the taste of the food the quantity of food the types of food. And I let the general manager know that I wanted to taste exactly what is given to the residents here so bring me a meal and she did. I thought the food was excellent I would have no problem eating it everyday it's as good as you're going to get at a mid grade restaurant sitting down for breakfast lunch or dinner. The staff are wonderful they are absolutely amazing people that are so dedicated and so caring you don't see it up front you only come to this understanding after you have interacted with them when your family member resides there but believe me when I tell you they're truly wonderful people and they have your family members best interest at heart. I looked at over 18 different locations for independent and assisted living from Florida to Massachusetts New Hampshire there's a lot of factors that come into play number one there's enormous wait lists at many facilities you can be waiting 6 to 12 months 24 months and some there's an indefinite waiting period to get a family member inside. So that was of importance to me number one number two the proximity to a main hospital is extremely important. Wall Village Gate does not have a nurse on staff they are 10 minutes away only a few miles driving from UConn hospital in Farmington which is everything that your family member would ever potentially need all under One roof. Next it is very very clean there's no trash in the parking lot there's no trash around the perimeter everything is manicured to perfection inside the floors are immaculate it's no different than if you were to walk in to say a Marriott hotel everything is clean not only aesthetically but smells clean and it presents itself well. Please understand it's not the most modern facility and some of the carpets are showing their age but that is easily remedied just by replacement and I was told that that is going to be part of what's going to happen in the general areas over the next couple of months. The apartments that I looked at are all nice and roomy from a size there arranged so it's easy for a loved one to move around they will work with you in terms of where you want hold bars installed for safety and accommodate your requests. All in all it's been a very positive experience at Village Gate .

Place has potential but needs some much needed improvements...
They are way under staffed here. Maintenance, servers, cooks, cleaners. They are in the process of renovating the building - but they have been under staffed from day one. The Meals need improvement. They should have the meals planned by a dietician. The quality of food needs improvement. Simple example - I haven't seen a chicken breast served since 2nd week in October - Chicken legs or thighs. I heard from someone - the budget for food is only [name removed] a week from which the chef has to work. On average - 15 - 30 people attend meals - per sittings 3 times per day. I know the staff here is doing what they can, but it doesn't seem corporate wants to let them spend any money - I don't know.
