From the moment my husband and I walked in the door & met [name removed], we were sold!! We are speechless with excitement. [name removed] is your diamond and has a beautiful heart! Your community is the perfect place for my sister!
I believe that I made the correct choice in living here. The apartment is just the right size and cleaned weekly. The food is outstanding. Personnel listens to your needs and any concerns. And finally, there are plenty of activities with transportation. A win win situation.
[name removed] was absolutely wonderful to work with. Her warm, welcoming demeanor was unparalleled while helping my mother make my choice to move in. She did everything possible to help her decide without feeling any pressure. It's obvious she loves what she does and one of the genuinely nicest people I've ever met.
Very helpful and informative, and welcoming.

we had a great tour of the facility. we were shown all of the amenities as well as exterior of the premises. all aspects were thoroughly explained so that we understand.
very pleased with the location and staff. [name removed] provided an excellent tour and overview of the facility.
They have switched directors three times in about 6 months - now we like the director and the assistant director but the front desk staff are horrendous. They were not a good thing, they always made our loved one feel pressured to tell them where they went every single day and felt like they had to report every single time. It was just dark and a bad experience for our family.

My loved one was not really into bigger communities. Also my loved one wanted to be in a different area.
Excellent services in house w/ personal trainers, PT, OT, nursing, and salon. Friendly front desk staff who really care about the residence.
Our mom has lived here for over 3 years. Overall she loves it. She's made lots of new friends with residents and staff. Every staff member we've dealt with has been friendly and helpful. We have recommended Hawthorn Lakes to others.
