Holiday Alexis Gardens

Holiday Alexis Gardens sits in Toledo as a three-story senior living community with a comfortable setting, a covered front entrance, and nicely landscaped grounds that give the place a simple, welcoming look, and there are big picture windows and S-shaped architecture that lets in a lot of light, and the inside feels clean and open with plenty of spaces for friends to sit and chat. The community has flexible leases month-by-month that let seniors keep their independence, and rent covers almost all major utilities-heat, air, and cable TV-so there aren't many surprise bills, though phone service is something to arrange on your own. There are studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with sizes from 361 to 882 square feet, and they all have kitchenettes with white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, dining areas, living spaces, private bathrooms with walk-in showers or tubs, and each apartment comes with its own thermostat for self-controlled heat and air conditioning, and some units have patios or balconies where you can sit outside.

Holiday Alexis Gardens serves adults aged 55 and older and lets you bring your cat or dog, and the grounds are easy to get around, with walking paths, patios, and gardens for anyone who likes to be outside, and the whole building is wheelchair accessible. There's a barber and beauty salon right on site, and a fitness center with cardio machines, free weights, and mats for anyone who wants to keep up a wellness routine, and there's a big dining room with high ceilings for three daily meals made fresh by the culinary team-guests can come for meals too. Residents get weekly housekeeping, light linen service, laundry help, and scheduled rides to appointments or errands. Safety is something you'll notice, with emergency systems like safety rails, smoke alarms, sprinklers, and a wearable Lively® Mobile Plus GPS device for every resident giving 24/7 help if needed in or out of the community grounds.

When it comes to things to do, there are plenty of activities and social events planned, and you'll find game rooms for chess or checkers, a computer area, billiards, activity rooms, a library, common lounges, and a TV room with a large screen for everyone to enjoy, plus there's a kitchen for residents who want to bake or cook. Services go beyond independent living and include assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or other dementia, skilled nursing, adult day care, home care, and continuing care retirement community options, and Legacy Healthcare Services provide therapy-physical, occupational, and speech-by third-party providers right on the property, and some care services include diabetes care, wound care, medication help, mobility assistance, and even some therapies after surgery. Residents can choose to use their own caregivers if they want, so families have flexibility. There's parking for both residents and guests, locked mailboxes, and a private dining room for special occasions.

Everyone finds that the community focuses on supporting health, safety, independence, and connection through activities, meals, and helpful staff who are kind and ready to help when needed, as well as a director noted for being very helpful, so people keep their freedom while getting help with what they want, in a place where they can bring their pet, see friends, and stay as active as they like.

Holiday Alexis Gardens is managed by Holiday by Atria.

Holiday Retirement, founded in 1971 by Bill Colson, was one of the largest independent living operators in North America with over 300 communities at its peak. In 2019, Holiday Retirement was acquired by Atria Senior Living, creating one of the largest senior living providers in the United States. The communities now operate under the Atria brand while maintaining many of the traditions and values that made Holiday Retirement a trusted name in senior living for nearly 50 years. Holiday pioneered the concept of affordable, all-inclusive independent living for seniors, offering residents a worry-free lifestyle with meals, housekeeping, activities, and transportation included in one monthly fee.
