Our Breton Campus is more than a place to live—it’s a community for residents to thrive. Our BretonNext campaign includes several projects set to be completed by January 2028, which will help to ensure this remains true for current and future residents alike. View our progress!

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.
