Hawthorn Senior Living, LLC

Independent senior living facility with all meals and light house cleaning provided. Would have to hire outside help.

Nice enough but not the level of service we need. She needs more care than they have in house.

average age 83; studio ave $2090 but n/a; $1 bdrm ave $2340; all meals included; too expensive probably

Looks like a fabulous place. Talked with the owners, and they were so friendly and helpful.

Nice, but too big. Long walk to dining.

Visited. Seemed nice. A little expensive for our budget. Requires participation in meal plan.

I don't like the location. and the view from the rooms is very boring. Just a parking lot or 7/11. the dining area is large and attractive but there are limited other areas for interaction. this would be my second choice if I had to make one. I didn't care for the business of the road trying to get in and out of the area.

Overall the staff seemed nice. Glenn did a nice job taking Mom and I on the tour and allowed us to have lunch with a recent resident. She was nice and seemed happy about being there. The residents didn't say hello or acknowledge us as much as other locations that we visited. Also since they are near capacity, we had to see an unfinished model and the actual apartment of a resident. Just seemed a little odd. Since all three meals are included in the price, it may be slightly out of Mom's budget.

Good size apartment, kitchenette - not a kitchen

SOMETIMES DON'T GET A GOOD FEEL ABOUT IT CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT. THE LADY THAT GAVE ME A TOUR WAS VERY NICE AND I DID LIKE HER VERY MUCH.

The facility was clean and open. The rooms we saw were centrally located though many rooms were further away from the dining room. Dad could spend a weekend there to "try it out" - I need to ask the cost of such a stay. I didn't ask about the personal care aspect concerning medications. We did talk about the monitoring of the residents. All meals are included. Need to ask about the cost. Although I think that that was covered on the webpage. They bus the residents around frequently and organize outings to the malls, theatre, Southport. There are substantially more women then men. The retired military are showcased in the dining hall. One bedroom apartments can have a tub. The rooms seem bigger than Pomparaug Woods. Railings are in the hallways. Nice grounds.I need to follow up and start the paperwork on the VA benefit.

This was good, but not our 1st choice.

3 meals - Active = Like the studio - Holiday retirement

friendly, but activities seem limited. no on site assisted living options. food wasn't as good

Shocked by all the 'old people'. If all the centers are this way, it will take some serious 'getting used to'. Staff, amenities, incentives and pricing were all superb. Really good food.

It is being built now and will be updated. I don't think that they have Assisted Living at this location which is alright with me.

They say they are still getting up and running but it is just not turning out the way they sold it, not quite following through with the things that were promised.

I am concerned about the changes since we are now part of Hawthorn. what I experience is poor food, less activities, especially musical groups - longer waits for meal service (even though they existed under the previous owners, but now even worse). if it wasn't so difficult to move, I would be out of here. difficult to move means starting over with friendships and the work of moving.

It seemed to me that there were less public gathering spaces here than at other places we toured. The choices in food were not as varied. The outdoor spaces not very attractive. And it was a poor location within the general area.
