Support with daily activities
Recovering from a hospital stay often means needing extra help with day-to-day activities. At Holiday, you have the option to receive services from on-site care providers of your choice. These trusted third-party providers offer things like physical, occupational and speech therapies, as well as skilled medical care and non-clinical support, so you can focus on healing in a comfortable, safe environment. Examples of care and support include wound care, medication reminders, grooming and toileting assistance, wellness checks and escorts to meals. Best of all, this means you only pay for the care services you need, if and when you choose them. Everything else – such as your private apartment, meals, housekeeping and more – is included in your flat monthly rental rate.
No-pressure leases
One of the biggest worries for people considering senior living is locking into long-term plans. But at Holiday, we make the decision easy with flexible, short-term leases. You get to enjoy all the perks of senior living without the stress of a long-term commitment. Whether you’re looking for a temporary spot to recover or testing the waters before making a move, Holiday gives you the freedom to choose what’s right for you.
Freshly prepared meals
Good nutrition is key to your recovery, and at Holiday you’ll enjoy three tasty, freshly prepared meals each day. Our kitchen team creates delicious, varied dishes with a regional touch. With meals taken care of, you won’t need to worry about shopping, cooking or cleaning – just focus on getting better. Plus, you can enjoy meals in the community dining room, where you can enjoy some friendly company during your recovery.
Increased social connection
Loneliness can be a significant challenge following a hospital stay or rehab. At Holiday, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to stay socially active. Each community is designed to foster social interaction, with common areas, dining rooms and outdoor spaces where you can gather with neighbors, share stories and enjoy each other’s company. Every community offers a wide range of daily events and programs designed to keep you engaged, entertained and connected with others. From fitness classes to arts and crafts, there’s something for everyone, whether you're looking to stay active, explore your creativity or just enjoy some good conversation.
Safe and secure environment
When you're recovering from illness or surgery, safety and security are key, and Holiday makes sure you have both. Each resident receives a Lively® Mobile Plus GPS wearable device, which offers 24/7 emergency support by letting you instantly call 911, reach family members and even request vehicle assistance and driving directions. Our communities also provide scheduled transportation for follow-up medical appointments, so you never miss a check-up. Holiday is designed for easy mobility, with spacious private apartments, walk-in tubs, roomy elevators, accessible common areas and wheelchair-friendly layouts, all to help make your recovery as smooth as possible.
Our commitment to quality
At Holiday, quality is always a big deal. Our Quality Enhancement (QE) program makes sure you have the best experience every day. Each community goes through at least one unannounced QE review a year, covering around 300 different parts of daily life. Plus, our team members are constantly training, so they're always up to speed on the latest in senior well-being. We also send out regular surveys to residents and families to keep things running smoothly and make sure everyone is happy.
To sum it up
Choosing a senior living community like Holiday after a hospital stay or rehab can make a big difference in your recovery. With the right support, a comfortable environment and chances to stay active, you can focus on getting back to feeling your best. Whether you need a short-term option to recover or you’re thinking about a longer stay, Holiday is a great place to help you on your way to feeling great again.
