Residents and their families say:

This community, known as Holiday Village Gate of Farmington, garnered mixed but overall positive feedback from its residents and their families. Many praised its beautiful settings, friendly and helpful staff, and a range of amenities including transportation services for dialysis patients, activities like art rooms, and model trains, as well as the provision of daily meals. The apartments were frequently described as spacious and convenient, with full kitchens, laundry hookups, and in some cases, balconies or porches that were particularly appreciated. The presence of a man cave, walking paths, and gardens were also highlighted as positive features, alongside the community's responsiveness to residents' needs and the cleanliness of the facility.
However, some negative comments were noted, primarily concerning food quality and variety, with multiple reviewers indicating dissatisfaction. There were also concerns regarding the handling of the COVID-19 quarantine, particularly for smokers who found themselves unable to access designated smoking areas, leading to tension and some residents being asked to leave. Issues with maintenance, housekeeping, and the community's handling of financial transactions were mentioned, alongside a perceived decline in service quality over time. Despite these criticisms, many reviewers expressed gratitude for the community's efforts to keep residents safe during the pandemic, and some praised the care and kindness shown by the staff under challenging circumstances. Notably, the community's ability to create a sense of safety and belonging for its residents was frequently commended.
