A comfort Place for Loved Ones

I answer "5" on all categories. Hawthorne has been wonderful to my husband. Everyone is loving and very caring and supportive. The facility is kept extremely clean everyday. The food is tasty and healthy. They offer activities, although my husband has not been joining in, but that's his choice. The administration has been very attentive to his needs. I can't say enough about the angels at Hawthorne.

A nice place to call home

The staff is attentive and they have made my mom feel very much at home. The residents are friendly. It is a pleasant atmosphere all of the time. I most definitely would recommend them to others who are searching for a place for their loved one.

Great Staff & Great Value.

The staff is very friendly and supportive in my experience. I would recommend to others. I would add that you Hawthorne provides good value in apartment size for the price.

Happy with our choice

The facilities are all nice. The apartments are clean and it's nice that they each have their own lanai. I haven't eaten there but I've seen the salad bar and the meals that are served are on real plates, not like the last place. I think the only complaint she would have is not enough bingo and other activities to do.

Review of Hawthorne.

Sadly my Mom is there for now. The sales team is great but once you are in nothing ever gets fixed. All residents complain about the food. But 5 months ago my Mom's AC failed and is still not fixed. I have complained as high up their management ladder I can find. And have heard 2 weeks to repair for 4 months. Their solution is a floor unit in my Mom's small family room which sits in the middle of the floor. Worse, there's no room for a unit in her bedroom. Anyway, please proceed with caution if you're looking at H
