The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Holland, MI for 2024

Holland’s convenient location on the shore of Lake Michigan makes it a popular retirement destination for seniors who are looking to take advantage of the region’s pleasant climate and outdoor activity opportunities. The city is home to just over 34,000 people, and 16.6% of the population is aged 65 or over. Seniors in Holland can take advantage of the city’s low cost of living and also benefit from proximity to the multi-award-winning Holland Hospital.

Assisted living communities help seniors who require some support with day-to-day tasks without having to move into a nursing home facility designed for a higher level of medical care. These communities provide personal care services, housekeeping, laundry, meal service and other general support. Due to Holland’s proximity to the Grand Rapids area, assisted living fees in the city are similar, with communities typically charging around $4,828. This is almost $600 higher than the Michigan average and around $300 more than the national median.

This guide explores assisted living in Holland compared to other nearby areas and also provides information about assistance available to local seniors.
