Hawthorn Senior Living, LLC

What really sold it for us was the presentation that [name removed] had for us during our initial walk through. We have not had much experience with the meals and dining service but we have heard of no complaints from our love done. Based on the experience we have had so far we would absolutely recommend his community to other families.

Carolina Estates is great. My mom really enjoys the staff and the activities that they have provided. I would definitely recommend this independent living facility to others looking.

Colonial Gardens is a spotless community every time we come to visit everything is in order and the staff members are just best they really had made it a great experience. The owner [name removed] and his wife are exceptional people there. She really enjoys the meals and being able to eat in her room. Every time we come to visit they also have a ton of different activities going on. It is a great value for the money they have been very accommodating financially. We would absolutely recommend.

We toured with Wilshire Estates and it is a brand new, BEAUTIFUL facility. The staff showing us around were extremely kind and did a great job. They invited us to lunch as well. We were very impressed with what we saw, it is a lovely place but unfortunately was too expensive for what my friend was able to afford.

Colonial Gardens gets all 5 stars. My Mom was very pleased - [name removed] & staff are really great! I have told friends about this place.

We decided on Somerset Lodge because of the inclusive atmosphere, the friendly and helpful staff, location. The facility is really nice and meets their needs perfectly. They are in an independent cottage and they are very nice size. They offer 1 and 2 bedrooms - it was a great step moving from a large home. They have been super happy here and love all of the other residents that they have met so far. We would definitely recommend Somerset Lodge to others.

I have seen a lot of different facilities because I work in the field. For the value, I think Stoneridge is a great place, I have placed two people here. The staff is very accommodating and it has a light and bright atmosphere. It is a bit smaller and I find it to be warmer and cozier because of the size. I also feel that the care is more personalized. I would definitely recommend Stoneridge to others and already have.

I really liked the community and I was thinking about going. The location was not convenient to my doctors and everything else that was close to where I was living at the time.

A clean, friendly environment and friendly staff. Not many provisions for people with difficulty walking, i.e. (no wheelchair bus access) but overall a good, safe place, with welcoming residents.

Caring staff, great food, beautiful and clean with nice size apartments with patio/balcony. Wonderful facility for independent living

Everyone was very friendly; reported good food. But felt more like an assisted living facility. No residents outside apartments the morning we were there. My stepdaughter particularly disliked the heating system. Motel like heater in the living room and electric floor radiator in the bedroom. And whispering Pines is only eight years old, so I consider this a cheap way by the management company to build a facility.

Ideal place to go.

My sister and I spent quite a lot of time reading reviews and comparing retirement communities for our mother in order to make the right decision, so we felt it was important to take the time to write our own review for Whispering Pines Gracious Living. During the time our mother was at WP, the staff and management team could not have been more caring, kind and attentive with her. The staff checked on her regularly, encouraged her to participate in the many activities and kept in touch with us regarding any concerns on a weekly basis. In particular, I would like to thank Windy Read for going above and beyond to make mom feel at home and cared for. The facility is bright, clean and well within a reasonable cost range for the amenities offered. We would highly recommend WP and feel lucky our mom was a part of this community.

Everything that we covered on the ratings scale have definitely exceeded our expectations. All our family are very happy with all that we have here, my mother is doing much better than she was before. She is happier, healthier and much more adjusted than prior.

My husband [name removed] and I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights in a one bedroom apartment at Capitol Ridge. The Staff went over and beyond to welcome us there. We were also pleasantly surprised to see how much extra space is available for all residents such as a library, television room, billiard room and even a movie theater. On one afternoon we attended an informational happy hour in the spacious activity room and on another afternoon a July birthday party which was followed by the magnificent performance of an Irish dance group. Meals are not only a culinary delight but also provide opportunity to socialize with the residents. Needless to say that we miss this wonderful place but it is good to know that a place like Capitol Ridge might be available for us to live there when we will have to downsize.

We attended their Carnival yesterday, which was our first visit. A beautifully maintained facility, both inside and out. [name removed] showed us a one bedroom apartment with spacious balcony, kitchenette with full-size fridge and storage. Lovely dining room and common areas, including billiard room and library.

It is an older building so you cannot except it to be pristine, but they do a really good job keeping the community clean and our loved ones apartment was cleaned to our satisfaction before our loved one moved in. The management during our loved ones stay were very gracious and helpful. Every time we needed something they were always willing to listen to us and fix the problem. Their meals program was fantastic, they would always encourage families to come, visit and have a meal and it was $5 for them to do so. Our loved one was not always able to participate in the activities but they did have a number of things going on and she really loved listening to the entertainment that would come and perform music.
