Hawthorn Senior Living, LLC

Highly recommended this community, beautiful apartment and friendly staff. They have activities like movies, music, journalism and more for the residents to do.

Everything has been great, there is a lady in management that really expresses true genuine care and that was something that really stood out to us. The only issues we are having is sometimes our loved one is not that thrilled with the meals.

Very nice community. More fancy and more adequate for independent living.

Really nice and good value for your money.

They've done really with well my mother-in-law. The food is good. The residents all really like Bingo, and they have it about three times a week. That's the one thing she'll go out of her room to do. It's a fun group of people. A lot of the people don't go to activities, which was surprising to me. They do have them, but people just don't go. As far as personality goes, I'm pretty outgoing and have met and talked to a whole lot of people. My mother-in-law is less outgoing, which has been hard for her. Culturally it has been difficult as well. She's the only Samoan. But there are a couple of Samoan workers who have been very kind to her. The director of marketing and sales is fabulous. Some of the other staff are just quite young, like the people who serve the food. But moving her in was good. The thing I liked about it the most was it didn't stink. It just smells like a normal place, which I appreciate. The halls are really wide, and it feels very open. A lot of the other places we went into almost seemed claustrophobic, with tiny rooms. The room size at Olympus Ranch was the best value we found, just over 500 square feet, vs. 300-something at other places. They also have beautiful artwork throughout the whole facility. It's so cool and makes it just feel GOOD.

We had a great tour with Ivy Creek. The gal who showed us around was just lovely, but the apartments here did not have kitchens and my mother in law still likes to cook.

It's very welcoming. The residents are always happy, and they're so eager to help and offer their opinions. Unfortunately they're going through a transition of ownership, which has caused some communication breakdown. Their care providers also recently changed, luckily for the better. My loved one doesn't require all that much care, but the new care providers are earning their keep. She reports on the food regularly, as that's very important to her. I thought it was great when I tried it, but she says it's hit or miss for her. Overall it's pretty good, but sometimes their selection is very light. At dinner, they serve only light portions, and they only provide one sizable meal a day at lunch. I think their activities are pretty standard compared to other places.

So far my grandma has had two other friends move in since she moved in this past summer. She is so well cared for and looked after. She's very happy, and it was the perfect place for her. She has independence, but she still has people that are watching out for her. They have a call button that the residents wear if they need help. She has fallen once and pushed the button, and they were there to help her within 5 minutes. They contacted me and let me know she had fallen, and they made sure I had talked to her to make sure she was okay. I feel like they truly care about the people who live there.

Everything with the Linwood has been excellent, we would highly recommend this community to others it is a just an overall great community. The meals are good, our loved one is in the process of getting new dentures so sometimes the meals are difficult to eat, but the staff have been very accommodating and helpful.

I visited The Carriage House and immediately the air you feel and experience when you enter is light and friendly. How true as I got to meet some of the staff and managers. Very friendly and helpful people. I had a meal there and the food was very good and the dining room was alive. I met some of the residents and they were very warm and welcoming. They all had good things to say about the community and its staff. Very impressed and would highly recommend for any senior to improve their life.

The community is very nice, we really like that it is community minded. The two managers live on site, it is a husband and wife team and the activities director is one site so they are all there always looking after the residents. The servers in the dining room are also the house keeping so they really get to know the residents there fairly quickly. Also Stonridge at the time was really willing to work with us in regards to finances, they offered us a really good deal which is why our loved one is able to stay there. She has really made a lot of friends and no longer wants to go home.

More than happy with Somerset Lodge, everybody is smiling always saying hi, you really feel apart of a family here.

I am a frequent visitor to Mulligan Park because I have a good friend that lives there. She and I take morning walks around the complex Monday thru Friday and sometimes on Saturdays. I have met several residents outside taking walks. This place is a very nice place to live and one day I may find myself alone and may decide to move here. Highly recommend.

The staff members are just 10 stars, right away they stood out to us. The are so friendly and know everybody by name, and on our tour they were not afraid to ask the residents right in front of us how they like Ivy Creek and how they like the food. All the residents said it is a family environment. The meals and dining service is fabulous and they have really great activities. We are totally happy with Icy Creek and out of all the community this had the best value for everything they offered.

Summerville Estates is much better than the last places I stayed at

They've been phenomenal. The food is great. They have lots of activities. The staff is very caring. It's almost like being on a cruise ship. My apartment is very nice. It's a large studio with a kitchen area and living room area. And there's a separate area for a bedroom with a large bath. I would recommend Julian Estates to others.

There is a lot planned and good activities but they are understaffed to carry out some of the activities but they do still go out and do things for the residents. They have things everyday like cook outs, arts and crafts and more. This community is gracious living just like they advertise. There are beautiful surroundings and the meals and dining are like top chef food everyday. The management team is also nice and responsive. All of the apartments also have a chain to pull just in case they need help even though its independent living.

What really stood out to us right off the bat were the staff members. They have just continued to go above and beyond for our loved one, they are extremely helpful and so friendly. They are also very responsive to any questions we have.

This is a bright, and clean community. The staff have been very nice to work with. The management team has changed, so far the new change has been good. The dining room is bright and the service is good.

Everyone at the Carolina Estates has been very helpful, and they are very responsive to any questions that we have. It is a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere, our loved ones are very comfortable there.
