Hospice is often thought of as end of life care. And while this is true to an extent, Faith Hospice offers a more holistic approach, even continuing to support the loved ones of their patients who have passed. In this episode, we’re joined by Grand Rapids native and NFL Referee, Carl Paganelli, as we explore the full spectrum of care that hospice provides. Join us as he shares his personal experience with hospice and his journey toward healing after the passing of his wife.
Since starting Phase I of our Breton Woods campus upgrade, we’ve made many updates to enhance the lifestyle of residents and the efficiency of the campus. Read more about all that has been accomplished and what is yet to come.
Holland Home has been named as a Best Nursing Home for Short-Term Rehabilitation (Breton Rehabilitation and Living Centre) and Long-Term Care (Raybrook Manor) for 2023-24 by U.S. News & World Report.

Holland Home’s Vibrant Living team has been focused on finding the right platforms, tools, and resources to help ensure current and future residents can thrive. To help optimize social engagement, Holland Home partnered with platform Welbi in early 2022. Now, a year and a half into the partnership, we’re taking a look at the benefits it has had for our community.
Each year we take a moment to recognize and thank our amazing staff for their time of service with our organization. We are so blessed to work with such an amazing group of people, each of which live out our mission every day as they serve those who have entrusted us with their living and care needs.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has awarded Holland Home a $3.5 Million grant to attract and retain more staff. Like many providers, Holland Home has struggled to meet its growing staffing needs over the last few years. With this grant, the senior living organization hopes to create “a stable pipeline of critical caregiving staff.”
The Roving Mic show of WGVU visited Holland Home, where host Shelley Irwin was taken through the Dementia Journey training—a live simulation in which the senses are altered as participants attempt to complete everyday tasks. All staff at Holland Home are required to complete the training in order to better understand what life is like for those living with dementia.
Breton Woods Park, which features walking paths, pickleball courts, bocce ball, a putting green, and a butterfly garden, is not only a tremendous addition for residents but is also beneficial for the surrounding areas it was built on.
