Hawthorn Senior Living, LLC

The cover page is usually educational, refreshing, and interesting. The second page is always interesting and revealing of fellow seniors as they spin take of their past. The word search is a good way to pass the time when you are writing for something else. Keep the print as large as possible. The sodoku is my favorite part and of the addition as it is challenging and informative and keeps my brain moving.

On my first review of Alexia Estates, I mentioned if you look for a rainbow in the sky, follow it as it will land on the rooftop of Alexis Estates Independent Retirement! My mom and I were so elated to what Alexis Estates offered her, especially comparing Alexis Estates to a more expensive Independent Care facility my mom came from. Unfortunately, at 94, she now resides above that rainbow! My mom had been in and out of hospitals and nursing homes but continued to keep the strength to return to Alexis Estates. It was family, comfort and the most awesome manager teams that lives on campus and is always present with a hug or talk of a dance! It is those 4 – [names removed] that make the difference! In addition, as my mom aged and needed more care, she could have not continued in Independent care had it not been for [name removed] with Senior Shield Caregiving (In-house care). She was my mom’s lifeline. And the embrace all five made to communicate and cover my mom’s needs plus make her life fun and comfortable… I just can’t thank them enough. I will miss stopping by! They make everyone’s life a joy to be around!

The Staff and my neighbors here are wonderful. I have a volunteer job working at our community store while I feel very needed. I have lived here over 4 years and it's my home !

Very nice Facility Staff very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!

Julian Estates is a beautiful community, it is clean and the people are very friendly. This was the most reasonably priced out of the other communities we had looked at. They have been through several chefs and the food is up and down. You can contract for additional care, but basically you are on your own unless you need that additional care, they also offer a lot of activities.

Because I have multiple sclerosis I found it necessary to quit living on my own. Mountain View Gardens is a month-to-month rental arrangement for individual apartments that allow for as much privacy as one would wish. I have lived here a little over a year and have found the facility full of interesting people. Since the pandemic started the management has taken steps to protect the residents and staff. I appreciate how well cared for I feel and can imagine how vulnerable I would be on my own had I not moved here.

My 84 years young father has been living at Mountain View Gardens for several years now and loves it! The facility is clean and the staff treats everyone like family. There is tons of stuff to do ranging from religious services to casino trips, exercise groups to on site movies. Regularly scheduled meeting are held to exchange information and to allow residents to express any concerns or ideas. You are not going to find a more caring group of people and their communication with residents and family is A+.

I think they have had a good amount of staff turnover, but the ones that are there are quick to respond. My mom really likes the fact that they offer an exercise class every morning. The dining experience is slow and is served in courses. They always offer fruit and snacks throughout the day. It seems very friendly. I like the fact that have a home care agency that comes in and provides care. It is absolutely beautiful out back. There's a deck that overlooks the private golf course. The view is beautiful. They offer a guest suite on each each floor for visitors to stay in. I feel like they have done a very good job of keeping the residents safe during this time of COVID.

My father has lived here since they opened and been very happy. The units are nice, staff is very helpful, residents are active and interesting. Food is good and activities are engaging. I highly recommend.

Staff is dedicated to maintain cleanliness in both public and private areas. Managers & staff and most residents are friendly and helpful. A few harboring bad attitudes or fanatic political observances create negative reactions. The quality of services provided is high in value. Care services are easily attainable. The activities director loves her work and does an excellent job of guiding in maintaining health and healthy attitudes. The chef meals are exceptional and delicious.

If you are looking for an independent Senior community, look no further. This facility is bright and cheerful. The staff is very friendly as are the residents. I get no bills here, including tv and internet. I gave up my car because the facility provides transportation for shopping and medical appointments. I do have a larger apartment than I reAlly need, but I can move to a 1 bedroom if the increase in rent is more than my income.

We were able to move my 90-yr old Aunt into Southern Pines Gracious Retirement, in Southern Pines, NC in Mid-October, of this year. She is in a studio apartment in a really beautiful facility, and is very happy to have moved out of her small, cottage style house after living there alone for 25 years. For most of those 25 years, she wouldn't consider moving out of "her" house. But after researching and visiting a number of possible options, I talked her into going with me to look at Southern Pines, and she was blown away by the facilities, the staff, and the so openly friendly residents. She loves bridge, reading, watching sports on TV and almost any group activity. SPGR has all this and more with a card room, a library and a weekly bookmobile; a chapel, a movie theater, an exercise room, an activity room that stays busy all day, all week; transportation to and from shopping, churches, doctor visits, and special field trips and activities; walking paths on the property, three excellent served meals each day in the dining room, and more. Levels of care include independent living thru hospice care. There are two managers on site 24 / day, as well as health care professionals, and therapists during daytime hours. SPGR also has a great working relationship with local hospitals and clinics. She really enjoyed moving in and decorating her apartment, and is very proud of her new home. I strongly recommend SPHGR for anyone looking for a retirement home or assisted living in this area.

[Names removed] do a great job of running Summit Glen. They always try to meet the needs of the people living here and they work hard to resolve any problems that occur to the satisfaction of all parties involved. They have been the managers here for many years and hopefully will continue to be the managers here for many more years. [Name removed]

Just Visiting, but enjoyed the community and the residents.

Heatherwood is a wonderful, loving, safe community for my mom. The staff are incredible and really care about every one of their residents. I can't believe some of the reviews here as they are not representative of the Heatherwood that I know. I would recommend Heatherwood to anyone who wants the best possible place for mom and dad to live.

The management staff is examplary! After several false starts we now have the best. The food has improved so much it is hard to believe. My only suggestion would be that the regional/local managers occasionally walk the property and note areas that need/will need repair before the problem becomes worse/more expensive. Windows need washing

My parents moved into this facility three days after it opened in October of 2009. My father died in May of 2012 at the age of 96. During that time interval they lived in two, different two bedroom apartments - both quite spacious with outdoor patios. After my father died I moved my Mother into a single bedroom apartment. She has been living in that apartment for six years and is now 102 years old. I live less than two miles away from this facility and visit my Mother most every day. Even at 102 years of age she is able to live independently here. Three meals a day are provided and I join her every now at then. Visitors are charged a minimal fee of $5/meal for these visits. A minimum of two selections are offered for every meal. Room cleaning and linen services are provided once a week. Laundry facilities are also available for all residents. Free of charge. I have contracted for assisted living personnel several times to visit periodically as needed. Mt. View Gardens does not provide this kind of assistance but does have a list of providers to consider. Twenty-four hour emergency monitoring is provided and Mom has needed to use that service several times in the nine years she has lived here. Response times were within minutes. I highly recommend this facility. Services and rooms for the monthly fees are quite reasonable. I have looked at similar facilities, primarily in the Tucson area, and find that Sierra Vista location is by far the better deal. I should mention that cable TV service is provided at no additional cost to all residents. Telephone and internet service is at your own expense. Exercise equipment is available for all residents as well.

w We really enjoy the ;Ranch". It is well run and has a positive friendly staff who go out of their way to make the residents feel comfortable and important. The food is amazingly good for institutionally prepared meals. There is always 3-4 options at each meal. It is presented very nicely and quite healthy. The residents are generally very happy and most friendly and keep letting us know we are important here.

When you are in a place that the meals are treated as an adventure, you are in the right place. Always cloth and table ornaments of some sort. Food excellent. Employees are like family to the residence. Staff also helps with meeting people, picking classes or adventures to go on, and encouraging the residence.

Love our new home and the people! Wish we had done this earlier. Downsizing wasn't easy, but worth it.
