Memory Care
I've been very happy with the care my mom received at Hawthorne Ridge. Specifically, you kept her safe. I know too well how devastating the past 20 months have been and was impressed with the hard work of the team there. You've done a remarkable job.
The staff has been very helpful answering all of questions and concerns. Everyone is very friendly and caring. The facility is clean and has lots of activities. The other residents are so nice and welcoming. They are good. My MIL is in a deluxe studio. Very roomy and plenty of space. Bathroom is a bit small, but sufficient for her needs. Nice walk in shower.
For 7 years, this has been "home" to me. Well acquainted with staff and residents gives me insight that I appreciate and a home that I admire. Grateful.
