Our History
Holland Christian Homes was established by a group of forward-thinking Christians who wanted to see their loved ones cared for in their senior years. In addition to their Christian faith, they shared common Dutch roots having come to settle in Canada–primarily after World War II.
Today, the second and third generations of those early pioneers are leading and driving HCH forward and pushing the organization towards even higher standards of quality, best practices and resident satisfaction. Holland Christian Homes has a strong and engaged membership base, a highly committed member-elected Board of Directors and is supported by a large team of faithful volunteers. Together with our medical professionals, care-givers, support personnel, dieticians, administrative staff and clergy, all members of the HCH team are totally committed to the vision and mission of HCH on a daily basis. We are all stakeholders.
