Hawthorn Senior Living, LLC

It's been an easy experience.

My mom's only been there 3 months so I really haven't formed any opinions on way they could improve. We've had no problems so far. For us, the proximity is good. She definitely enjoys the prepared meals, especially the desserts. Their staff is friendly and their other residents are nice. She enjoys them too.

I'm moving there. It was a very calm place. I have a lot of pain in my shoulder and I discovered it was from stress. There is a woman at the place I'm living now that is creating stress I don't need so I'm moving. Salmon Creek is going to do a lot to help me move in. I think the management is more in control there. It's a much higher quality of management at Salmon Creek. They've gone out of their way to try to help me. I feel it's going to be a lot better for me.

I moved my mother from Oklahoma in July, 2013 from a decent assisted living center to Liberty Heights. The surroundings and the staff have made a significant impact on my mother's health and outlook on life. She loves the library, the chapel, the great food, and the general atmosphere. I cannot think of a better place that I would want my mother to spend her retirement years. I did research other locations and, for me, there is nothing that compares to this facility in the DFW area.

Loved it!! Trying to think of a way Mom can afford it. I just know she would love it if she would be willing to give it a chance. However...the price is too high per month. Gotta pray about how we can afford it!

I'm over here and I'm satisfied. My room is perfectly clean and every week they're cleaning something! They're very friendly. All these places are costly so how do you compare? Compared to some of the others this is a little less. This is not assisted living. The meals are pretty good but I don't get up on a daily basis to go up and get them. I usually use my microwave and have something in my room. I don't participate in a lot of the activites because some of the medical issues I have prevent me. I do simple ones where I can sit down. They have a beautiful walk around this place. It's very scenic.

I think they're awfully expensive like they all are but I think it's a good value for what you get. I'm not too familiar with all their acitivities but I know they have a movie night, bingo night, a spa day and they go on frield trips to museums and things like that. My dad talks about those. They're good because they have other locations around the country that my parents could go stay at for free. There is one up closer to me that they're going to stay at for a week so they can visit us. They let me stay there for free in a guest room. I really like that feature and the people have been really nice.

It's independent living so the care services are not applicable. The food is pretty good - I'd give it a 4. They have arts and crafts, book club, bible study, excursions...those are all the things that I know my grandma has done. She likes it there. She's happy with all of it.

They're fantastic! The cleanliness and overall appearance really made them stand out. We toured with the manager and he was very easygoing and friendly. They're doing a fantastic job for the money. They have a 24/7 care service staff but they do have Med-Alert necklaces that they give all the residents. The activities? Oh, my goodness - my father's doing things that he'd never have done before if we had kept him at home. He helps care for the rose garden and they have yoga classes and movie nights as well.

We chose Carolina Estates because of the apartment, suitable activities offered to residents, friendliness of the staff, and their interest in making sure my loved one was happy there. The whole experience has been great, it was the easiest thing I have ever done. I went online on a Sunday night and found A Place For Mom and filled out their helpful questionnaire. The next morning an APFM rep, Caitlyn, contacted me. She was really easy to work with, the information was excellent, she even sent me her picture which I was really impressed with. I thought my loved one needed assisted living, I didn't even know there was such a thing as independent living. Carolina Estates was the first to contact us, when we toured we were very impressed. They invited us back for supper and my family was sold on the place, this has been the best move for my loved one. (Did not use Care Services, so cannot rate at this time.)

If I were interested in senior living, I would sign up immediately! I felt like I was in a 5 star hotel, everything about this facility is fabulous. Although there are no medical staff residing there, the managers all live on the property and there are options available to hire if necessary. I do not think this would be the best choice for someone who needed a lot of medical attention but for someone who needs senior living this would be the place.

We chose Colonial Harbor because it was a very good price; the staff was very organized, helpful and friendly. The do offer 3 meals a day, which all have been really good with the exception of the Crab Cakes my loved one didn’t think they were up to par. They offer a big variety of activities, in fact there is more activities that she cares to participate in. It is located on a parcel of land in Yorktown adjacent to a McDonalds but the property is surround with trees so although it is in a very convenient location it still provides a country feel. We are very happy with our choice and would highly recommend Colonial Harbor to anyone.

I chose this community because it is very close to my family; they accept pets, 3 meals a day, and provide transportation. The food was actually surprisingly good, expected it to be like institutional food but it was not. There food is very well cooked and full of flavor. They have a menu board that shows what is being served, they always offer an alternate meal if you do not wish to eat the primary. I would not have wanted to move in somewhere that I could not have my dog of over 8 years, we are both very happy here. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. I am very satisfied and would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

It’s been a really good experience. The management and the people are friendly. The apartments are big and spacious with a beautiful view, and the outdoor commons is very nice.

A beautiful, one year old facility with residents from all over the country. Located in an old historic community.

We were looking for a facility that was large enough where we could meet a lot of people. Camden Springs has a lot to offer it's residents, there is an excersize room, library, theater, really anything you could want. They also welcome suggestions from residents as far as amenities they offer.

Very interested but a bit above the $ amount I want to spend. At this point it would be the place I would pick, although I do have a few others to check out.

We looked at other places but chose The Rio Grande because it was the best and the nicest. It's new, clean, and the people there are very friendly.

Once Mom decided she "might" want to move to Asheville to be closer to us (from South Florida), my husband and I started looking. We contacted A Place for Mom and talked with them about what we thought Mom would like. Bella Vista, among others, was on the list. We looked at two other facilities first; however those were for someone needing more assistance than Mom required. She wanted her own apartment, not just a "room with bath." We went to see and tour Bella Vista and that was that. It was described as a "cruise ship without the water" and that's really close to what it is. It offers one and two bedroom apartments, as well as a studio type, with different floor plans of each. They offered to have mom come up for a week to experience life there, and that's exactly what we did. It was Mother's Day week in 2012. They put her in a lovely apartment, even getting her a special commode seat like she has at home! She met lots of people, even made some friends in that short time. She was sold! She selected a one bedroom apartment with the same floor plan as she was in for her visit (there were only two like that) and the rest is history! We moved her in two months later. She seems very happy here, her life is much simplified. Bella Vista provides 3 meals a day, 7 days a week, and, additionally, they work hard to acknowledge all holidays and special days with special meals and buffets for the residents and their families. They offer lots of different activities, including exercise programs and "day trips" for the residents. The staff goes above and beyond to help all residents and accommodate specials needs and familial concerns. We couldn't be happier that Mom has settled in so well, and that we are able to be close enough to share during this time of her life.
