Holland Home is dedicated to improving the lives of persons living with brain change. As the only Positive Approach to Care® designated organization in Michigan, our specialty-trained team of compassionate and dedicated staff works to enhance the lives of people living with dementia—ensuring their safety, health, comfort, and security.

The Dementia Journey uses virtual reality to mimic the confusion that comes with dementia. Using sound, vision, and sensory impairments, team members are asked to manage the daily tasks that dementia residents go through in their everyday lives. This unique approach gives the caregiver a higher level of insight into the disease, empathy for what the patient is facing, and greater compassion in their care.
