What Holly Creek Residents Have to Say

Holly Creek has great places to walk and a great philosophy of aging. There are so many things offered here. The deciding factor was that it is small and locally owned.
We don’t want you to spend another winter in mountain snow. We loved our mountain home, but knew our kids were helping us face the need to move. Our two-bedroom apartment provides us the freedom to travel, enjoy meeting new friends and watch the snow falling in the courtyard outside our front window.
When we moved to Holly Creek we thought about what is visible, such as interiors, apartment layout, dining areas, which are all very nice but after living here for a year we have discovered what is most important is the people that live here and employees, who are all so considerate and kind who are at the HEART of Holly Creek. They make Holly Creek a special place in which to live.
We thought we would cook, but great dining options and interesting table mates make our cooking very infrequent. I just dust the stove.
When we started looking for a retirement community in 2012, we developed an extensive checklist to guide our decision. We looked for friendly residents and staff in a welcoming environment, well-designed apartments, a broad range of physical, intellectual, social and spiritual activities, excellent food with lots of eating options, and good transportation and varied excursions. Holly Creek received outstanding grades in every category. It seemed too good to be true, but in the six months we have been at Holly Creek, we have found that it really is that good.
If you are ready for living in a social community with ten-fifteen things to do every day, this is the place! I value the fact that if we need more service than we receive in independent living, it’s on-site whether it’s assisted, nursing care, or rehab. That is all important.
Five years ago or so, my husband and I started doing in-depth ‘Retirement Community Research,’ and as we compared them item by item, we found that Holly Creek offered more.
Some friends invited us to dinner and a tour of Holly Creek. The rest, as they say, is history! ... The many activities and our friendly neighbors have provided a sense of community... and no more mowing, tree trimming, weeding and snow shoveling is an absolute joy. In addition, while our health remains good, as we enter our 80s, it is comforting to know that, should we ever need it, onsite medical assistance is immediately available 24/7.
We had a very fun tour with Angie and a delightful lunch with Mary and Chuck. We are impressed with the 501 C3 business model. We like that the number of residents is reasonable, unlike other adult places with too many people. The place is beautiful (i.e. Jerry’s suite) and the people we passed seemed quite happy and engaged. It’s hard to think of leaving our wonderful home in Tesuque, NM but our eyes and hearts are open now.

It was a wonderful place to have rehab. They pay very close attention to the patients, they are professional in every way. The staff is friendly and make you feel that you are part of the family. I made great progress in OT and PT. I would highly recommend the facility. It was very clean also.

Angie did a wonderful tour. We saw everything we wanted and more. Holly Creek is definitely a “home” atmosphere. People there were happy and very welcoming. Just an overall positive experience.

We were already somewhat familiar with the facility, as we live nearby and know a number of current residents. Angie explained the financial details of the program and let us see various apartments. She carefully answered all our questions, and sent us away with all the printed materials we wanted.

The Holly Creek community feels like a wonderful lodge where old friends reconnect, debate, laugh and enjoy each other.

Marilyn created a very professional and informative visit to Holly Creek for my wife and I. We received a very thorough and informative tour of the facilities and were able to meet several residents. These residents were uniformly welcoming and seemed genuinely happy living there. We came away with a very positive impression of Holly Creek and plan to continue the search process.

What a gift my mom gave to me and my siblings, 15 years ago, when she decided to make her home at Holly Creek. Her apartment was manageable, she felt secure, and knew she was going to make new friends. Over the years we have received tremendous support from their caring staff. As her main caregiver all these years, it has given me such a sense of peace!

We enjoyed a wonderful brunch and tour with Marilyn. It was a delightful day and a beautiful campus. All questions were answered and additional details were offered as we moved along. In assisting my aging parents, it was a very friendly inclusive experience.

After lots of investigating of retirement communities in our area, and multiple tours here, we realized Holly Creek should be our forever home. Angie and Marilyn helped prepare us for the move and Isobel made move-in day fun and seamless. The transition from our much-loved home of many years to our apartment here has been enhanced by all the wonderful new friends. We are so happy here and highly recommend Holly Creek!

Due to health issues we decided a retirement community was a good idea for us. We have never regretted moving here. The residents are welcoming, friendly and very interesting. There are many activities to become involved in depending upon your interests. It’s a warm, up-lifting, stimulating environment that totally feels like home. It’s also a comfort to us and our family that we will never have to move again. We are definitely at home!

I’ve made many new friends here and found a new mate to spend the rest of my life with. We both lost our mates at about the same time and we both seemed to have lost our loneliness by being together.

My grandparents lived at this community for over ten years. The community of residents and care givers was a huge blessing for them and our entire family. Thank you Holly Creek for all that you do!
