OUR HISTORY 125 Years of Care and Commitment Holland Home was founded in 1892 by Reverend Adrian Kriekard of the Third Reformed Church and a small group of faithful individuals wanting to provide comfort and shelter for elderly members of their congregations. Located on the corner of Michigan Street and College Avenue, the facility opened its doors to eight men and women, and many more soon followed. By 1912, Fulton Manor opened its doors. By 1922, Holland Home had committed to providing continuous care for its residents. As the first registered Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in the state, Holland Home has grown into three welcoming campuses—Breton Woods, Raybrook and Fulton Manor—as well as dedicated rehabilitation and memory care facilities. Holland Home has also expanded its family of services, which today includes Faith Hospice and Atrio Home Care. Today, Holland Home is one of Michigan’s largest nonprofit providers of senior services. Continuing its dedication to its community, Holland Home employs over 1,100 people and cares for more than 2,500 souls daily, each day, living our mission to fulfill God’s calling to serve others. When you think back, 1892, going from taking care of eight people to serving over 4,000 a day, and think of all the trials and tribulations they went through, the multiple wars, the Great Depression, and yet they flourished. And Holland Home is what it is today based on their sacrifice. —Mina Breuker, CEO OUR TIMELINE Explore the major events in our history. 1800 1900 1950 2000 Holland Union Benevolent Association HOLLAND UNION BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION IS FORMED.
