My mother is in Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes. We chose it because one of her neighbors moved in there. We haven't done much decorating other than the furnishings. She's in a studio with assisted living. It's roomy enough to put her bed and a table and dressers. It's nothing huge. One of the aspects that we liked about it is it kind of looks like a hotel more so than a nursing facility. It seems to be well-kept. The Hawthorn Mall is down the street. It could be walkable if you're mobile enough. They play some games and stuff and have other people come in and do presentations. They have bingo and various card games. There's a living room that has all the stuff. We're basically on the assisted living side, so there weren't as many things as you may have on the independent side. They have a hairdresser there, that type of thing. The independent side has their own dining area and then the assisted living has theirs and they seemed to be spacious enough. They serve the food to the table. The staff is pretty good. They're very friendly. Now and again, we have little things that happen, but for the most part, they've been very good. it's not like a five-star hotel downtown or something like that, but they do a very good job of maintaining it. The reason that we've been looking for someplace now is because we've been there for ten years, and the cost has gone up as a percentage each year. Otherwise, we seem to be getting our money's worth out of it, but it's starting to look expensive.

Our tour experience at Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes was excellent. We saw all the rooms and the facilities, the dining room, all the common areas, and what the room options are. It was very nice. The staff was very professional, listened to what we were asking, and was very responsive.

The tour at Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes went very well and that will be the community we will be putting Mom in. Lisa, specifically, was fantastic and she let us know that she came out of retirement to work there. She let us know that if Brookdale was not right for Mom, she would do everything she could to help us figure out a different place, if it came down to that, which I thought was very caring and wonderful of her to do. That helps alleviate anxiety and the stresses that the family goes through. The rooms were very clean and the perfect size for somebody in my mom's situation. She showed us a one-bedroom, which I think was a little large for the situation, so she took us to a studio, which is what we will be using for Mom. It was a perfect size for the care that she'll be getting. We saw the menu and it looked very nice and robust. It looked like they had really good options as far as their dining facility and the menu options and things. They were doing a little craft and art bazaar when we went, so that was getting set up for the residents to come down and see and take part in. They also showed us the room where there was some flower arranging happening, but the staff said most of the residents were at the art bazaar. There was one resident there that was taking part in the flower arranging. All the staff and personnel there were very accommodating and smiling.

Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes was very nice. The staff was extremely friendly. The marketing sales reps bent over backward to help us. They were very accommodating and they all seemed very qualified. The units were very nice and modern. Everything about the place was just great and the residents seemed very happy. It had a beautiful lake and a nice walking path. There's a barber shop, a library, and a game room. In the middle was an open area where they do their activities. They had many activities throughout the day for the residents. It was a huge variety of things to do. They do chair yoga and bingo. They had a big workout PT room, too. They offer a free transport service where they can take them to a doctor's appointment (if it's within their area). They also have a lot of outside activities like going to baseball games.

I toured Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes for my father. The building was beautiful, and the grounds were beautiful. The facilities were great. The staff was professional and very helpful. It was a very nice place. The food experience was very nice. The residents there seemed happy. It was a large building so people could move around.

I toured Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes and was amazed at the professionalism of the people who greeted me. They knew their stuff. They're very good. The rooms had more of an older look, but they were bigger. Then they had a pool, a nice meeting area, and a private dining area for you where you can celebrate your birthdays. I enjoyed their food. Also, they were the facility that had the most veterans.

It was a big decision when my parents moved from their home of over 50 years. Brookdale has been a godsent. Their staff is kind and caring. They offer something for everyone. I can't be there night and day. They have come though and exceed my expectation. The other residents were very friendly and welcoming. I give Brookdale and A+. My Daddy really likes the food and pre-covid the ability to go into the dining area. He said it feels like eating out everyday. Also he love, love, loves the deserts available at lunch and dinner. My Dad was able to get the covid vacination without going out of the building. The staff is always organized and courteous. Thank you for the level of care you provide. It feels like home.
