My mom lived at Hawthorne Gardens. It is beautiful and well-kept. The staff was wonderful, very kind, and worked very hard. The food was OK. They offer painting, walks, trivia games, memory games, parties for every holiday, music, barbeques, and blowing bubbles.

Hawthorne Gardens was a nice, well-appointed, clean place that looked very well run. The people who I talked to were very cordial.

The place I really liked was Hawthorne Gardens. It’s in a residential neighborhood in very old Portland. It’s got lots of walking ability, old homes around, grown-up trees, flowers, and things like that. It’s small; it only has 67 units. It is only assisted care and memory care. They are very close to the Hawthorne district, which has lots of little restaurants and has an old redone movie theater that’s quite popular in Portland. It’s right on the bus line, and the people are really nice. I just like it. Right now, not having any experience in staying there, it looked to me like a 5. It’s very clean and just been remodeled, so they’ve got all hardwood floors. They have garage parking, so if visitors come they can park there, and you can park your own vehicle if you have one. And the people are extremely nice. I have put a deposit down on it.

Hawthorne Gardens was a very nice, small, and quiet facility. The dining room was small but nice. They had a nice activity room for bingo and movies. It was very nice, just too small for my parents.

Hawthorne Gardens was beautiful. It was a newer facility. I would say that if we had the opportunity, we probably would have moved my mother there, but they didn't have any opening and they had no idea when they would have one.
The downside was the common area, like the dining room was very small. The gathering area when you first go into the building was also extremely small. If there were a few people in there, it felt crowded. However, the rooms and the grounds were absolutely beautiful.
Memory Care Reviews for Hawthorne Gardens Senior Living Community

Our mother lived in Assisted Living for over a year and has been in Memory Care for almost a year. The turnover rate is high and awful, the maintenance staff is almost non existent. The care is wholly inadequate. Since, the fall of 2017 there have been 3 different companies running the facility, all promising improvements, but never following through.The rooms are not cleaned regularly or thoroughly, the staff is not trained in how to address the special needs of memory care and the cost is ridiculous.
It is not good at Hawthorne Gardens.
