My mother has lived at Hawthorn Lakes for a few years now. Everyone here has taken effort from the beginning to make my mother and family feel like a new home for us. Safety protocols have made it easy and comfortable for us to visit daily. Everyone is attentive, knowledgeable, and empathetic to her daily needs.
The staff at Brookdale is outstanding. They are kind, caring, and compassionate as well as handling residents with professional skills. Our family is so grateful for how our dad is part of a "family" at Brookdale. We are indebted to the staff for the quality of care they provide. We especially would like to mention [name removed] / [name removed] and [name removed] for all they do.
The staff is friendly and helpful. There are plenty of planned activities for all different interests. The facility is very nice with roomy apartments set alongside a beautiful park with walking paths. Our mom is very happy living at Hawthorn Lakes, which means a lot to my two sisters and I!
Excellent! The staff is the best, very helpful.
I am moving to this communtiy.

Brookdale and staff have been amazing to our mom. She had 4 great years here and she enjoyed the dining room and all the great food. We looked forward to joining her for lunches and dinners often because the food was so good. Thanks so much for your care and professionalism.

My mother enjoyed 3 years in a Brookdale-Hawthorn Lakes independent living apt, where she was able to make friends, enjoy good meals, and lead a fulfilling life. Due to a fall, we recently moved her to Brookdale's-Hawthorn Lakes' Assisted Living building, where they are taking good care of her. Brookdale has done a fantastic job adapting to the challenges of running a senior living community during the COVID pandemic, which is a monumental task! We are grateful for all the care and creativity Brookdale staff have demonstrated for their residents over the past year. Thank you!

From day one when our family member moved in, we have been so impressed by the Brookdale admin team and all the staff. However, words cannot convey how incredibly grateful we are for all they have done during this challenging pandemic year. Although keeping residents healthy and safe has been the primary goal, they have found numerous ways to safely engage everyone and creative ways to support connections with family including helping residents to connect via technology like zoom calls. If anyone in your family needs a high quality, caring residential home, choose Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes.

My father came to Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes Independent Living when he was starting to need help at home. The whole idea of moving was very stressful for him. Brookdale did an amazing job making sure that he had a resident assigned to him to help him make the transition. This resident (ambassador) was all he needed to adjust. It took him about 7 days to say “ This was the best thing I’ve ever done’’. That was all I needed to hear. After 2 weeks he was playing poker, in a painting class, attending special programs, exercising two times a day, Wii bowling and most importantly socializing all the time. The food is great and we were able to join him on Sunday for dinner. Thank you Brookdale for the making my father feel so at home. You gave him the independence that he needed. And you gave me the peace of mind that I needed.
