For many in the elderly population, the thought of receiving assistance in daily tasks can be challenging. This proves to be a difficult thing for someone to process after years of independence. Knowing you might need the help but not knowing where to get it from can be even harder. That's when the Villas of Hollybrook in Shelbyville happily steps in. Stephenie Emmons, Business Office Manager for the Villas of Hollybrook, understands this is a difficult transition to make in life. Emmons proposes the idea of respite care, which she describes as a "trial" for your loved one to see if assisted living is truly something for them.

Emmons talks about the recent renovations that have taken place that make the facility feel that much more like home.

Activities and group sessions are an excellent way for those at the Villas to stay social and connect with others. Emmons discusses one of her favorite events to host.
