Hawthorn Senior Living, LLC

My mom started out at Stone Lodge. They do have some assisted living but it's more independent living. My mom was only there for a short time because she needed more care than they provide. They don't go and get you and bring you out for meals or activities or anything. It's more for people who are pretty well on their own.

My mother is there. It's a good value. Meals and housekeeping are included in the cost and they seem to be good from what I've seen. The activities are good. She participates in some but not as many as I would have expected. I think of the facilities that we saw in the area Oak Park was clearly the best. They had equivalent or better services and a lower price.

I just moved in this week and I really like it. All the staff and residents are very nice and helpful. My room is very clean. Their are so many food choices to choose. Some of the residents are an inspiration for me in their dedication to exercise daily. I sit at a table with a very sweet 100 year old lady that exercises daily. I am one of the younger residents here, but physically I am on some of their level. I hope to become stronger following the residents commitment to maintaining their health. I really do enjoy mealtime and conversing with the people at my table.

Chesterfield Heights is beautiful. The food was better than the Virginian. The price was affordable. We really like this location & was seriously considering the move. Mom was just trying to decide if she wanted to leave her friends at the Virginia. Probably would have moved there in 2014, if mom needs had not required her to have assisted living accommodations.

It was really nice but mom wouldn't have had her own privacy because it was apartment style. They were great people but it was over double what she pays now.

Nancy Britt was great however at my level of independence, I would still want a kitchen. This property provides 3 meals a day at set times included in the rental fee. The average age is between 75-80. Although I like many things about the property, the set dining times won't work for me at this time.

There are a few thing that my grandmother has had to get used to but overall she seems very happy. They've been very accommodating with her diet so she's very happy with the food. They seem to be very attentive when they do the cleaning. The staff is super. Everybody goes out of their way to be friendly. It's very middle of the road as far as cost. It's not super high end but it's not by any means cheap. It's independent living so if she needs help we would have to bring in outside help. They do meals and housekeeping and things but nothing medically. I think what it boiled down to was my grandmother really liked the food and the people here. The woman showing her around was very attentive.

Its very nice its brand new, nothing is perfect. the staff is very friendly. they should be a little more picky with the people they rent the apartments to . other retirement places, they don't accept pets, there are some people with 2 pets theres a lady with 3 dogs and they run around all over the place. We complain about it but they say it's discrimination.

It was nice, but it was more expensive and it just didn't seem to have as much going on or provide as much, it did seemed clean and there was no smell.

We liked it, liked the people, it was very nice, but it was an apartment. It was probably one of the nicest that we looked at, I would have liked it if we were looking for an apartment and not more independent living.

I've only been here 3 days, I have family in the area and so far it's been working out okay. From what I've seen so far, the cleanliness has been excellent, the foods been good and so far, the staff has been fine. They have quite a few activities, I'm not familair with all of them yet but I'm planning on staying here long term. It's more independent living but there's a lot of individual aids available to make arrangements with so I decided to try that route. I'm in kind of an inbetween position. I don't fully utilize the assistance available in assisted living, and I'm not fully independent. Kristie convinced me with the fact they had a lot of independent caregives available to get in touch with and make private arrangements for additional care and I thought that combination would give me all the assistance I needed and more independence so I would have incentive to take care of myself.

That is where I wanted my grandmother to go but she would only agree to one other place because she knew people in the area. They were very professional. It was clean and top notch! They way they handled everything, you could tell the management was better because it goes from the top down. They were very well managed.

It's like a hotel kind of environment. I love the people there. The staff were nice but they've had a lot of turnover so I don't know how they are now but once upon a time a few years ago everything was great.

When we toured there was a lot of things mentioned aobut activities going on my mother is finding that they kind of played it up. They said they had cook outs in the summer. There has been very few. She is a little dissappointed in that. They also say that if you don't show up for lunch and then say you don't show up for dinner, the staff would come check on you. My mother is finding that they don't check. They're very good if you have an emergency and pull the cord but they don't do the checks. My mother is pretty independent so it's okay for her. The manager was wonderful bu the owner was really reluctant to fill out the form for verteran benefits. He wasn't very helpful in that regard. They did give my mother a full month rent free.

They are really the only independent senior community in town. They are conveniently located to family and amenities. They had availability and very good rooms. The rooms are spacious and the one we have has a very nice view of the Cascade Mountains. The meals could be better and more flavorful. Overall we are pleased with Stone Lodge and would recommend them.

I thought this place was lovely; bright and cheerful. The staff were friendly and caring. I heard consistent negative feedback about the food from a few different sources, though the meal I had there was fine.

Very nice but not sure if it is right for Dad. He may need a little more care than this facility offers.

Seems to be a very nice place, BUT it's fees are about TWICE Pine Park. It is elegant Apartment living with a non-medical staff. Like H. Hills, if problems occur it's another move to an Assisted Living place.

This is my first choice. Everything that is important to Dad is in place. The apt available is a bit small for his furniture but a bigger unit will be too expensive for him. The Director has been wonderful in working with us and I hope this is where Dad will be.

Loved it. Just not sure if she needs more care than they provide
