Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The reviews for Holiday Azalea Park are generally positive, highlighting the community's cleanliness, spacious rooms, and the variety of activities and amenities available. Many reviewers praised the meals provided, noting the good quality and variety of food options. The presence of an on-site physical therapist, who offers specialized programs such as balance improvement, was specifically lauded as impressive. Reviewers also mentioned the community's beautiful layout, the welcoming and accommodating nature of the staff, and the engaging environment that seems family-oriented and filled with warmth. The community's non-clinical atmosphere, which fosters a sense of ease and comfort among residents, is repeatedly applauded. The fact that Azalea Park is part of a nationwide network, presenting options for residents to move to different locations if needed, was seen as a significant advantage.
Despite numerous positive remarks, a few criticisms and concerns were also noted. Notably, the absence of 24-hour on-site medical staff was mentioned as a downside, though there is a contractor available around the clock. Some reviewers considered the apartments slightly pricey, in part due to annual price increases which could be a concern for those on fixed incomes. Additionally, a couple of reviewers felt that the common areas and some apartments smelled of food, which they found off-putting. There was also a mention of the community having changed management several times, which reportedly affected the quality of meals and services. While the majority expressed satisfaction with the facilities, activities, and the supportive atmosphere of the community, these few concerns voiced by some suggest areas that could be improved upon.
Overall, Holiday Azalea Park receives positive feedback for its welcoming environment, range of activities, spacious and well-maintained accommodations, and friendly, caring staff. The sense of community, variety of amenities, and the attention to residents' well-being contribute significantly to the satisfaction expressed by many reviewers. While there are a few areas of concern, such as the absence of 24/7 on-site medical staff and occasional issues with meal quality and facility odor, these appear to be outweighed by the positive experiences of most residents and visitors.
