Review for Holiday Country Squire

The staff is excellent and very helpful. The apartment (very clean and well maintained). Apartment size is great. Food and dining experience is good. Holiday Country Squire, is a nice, clean community with friendly, helpful staff. Meals are good , served in a very fancy dining area. Wonderful Holiday meals and lots of activities to keep you busy if you so choose. The other residents are friendly and caring! I definitely enjoy being here.
