Caring for Those Living with Alzheimer’s
While the search for a cure for Alzheimer’s continues, the Holland Home Memory Care team is dedicated to improving the lives of those living with the disease and of their loved ones. Over the years, we have learned that while there might be bad days, there are always good moments. Whether it’s singing a song or just a look of understanding, those moments motivate us to keep going.

Spring Cleaning for Aging Adults
As we age, maintaining a home becomes a bigger burden and the idea of spring cleaning can be overwhelming. Remember that not everything has to be done in one day or even in one week. Enlist the help of family and friends, prioritize getting rid of clutter, and you’ll soon see your space becoming cleaner and safer.
