My mom has been at Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes for 16 months now. She really is happy about her decision to move here. She lived in her home since the mid 70’s. From day one she met people and has made new friends. The staff is warm and friendly and everyone seems to know her. I would recommend Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes to everyone.

Our mom always said she’d end up at Hawthorne Lakes (Brookdale), and she did. There were many obstacles along the way to her getting there, including a stop off at another assisted living place first, hospitalizations, rehab, etc. She’s older than most residents and has substantial health issues, but a solid mind and memory. The team at Hawthorne Lakes bent over backwards to figure out ways to make it work for mom to be able to stay in her apartment there and get the help she needs. It was a refreshing change from where she had been before, and the Brookdale at Hawthorne Lakes team is so kind, caring, and professional. Not only that, it was priced well under the other place, which had great facilities but lacked the care and staff. The only reason for not giving Brookdale 5-stars has to do with the facility itself. It’s a bit narrow in some hallways and when everyone is out and about, it can get a little tight in some common areas, especially when so many residents are using walkers and wheelchairs. That being said, they make it easy for families to spend time together in special rooms or to even reserve a dining area for a special occasion, which our family has done several times. We’ve loved dealing with everyone at HL Brookdale, and know that they will do everything in their power to problem-solve a situation to make it workable and comfortable for the resident and their family.

Our mom moved into Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes in January and we couldn’t be happier with her choice. The staff is friendly and attentive. Her apartment is modern and nicely appointed with great storage. There is a large variety of activities and amenities and something for everyone to enjoy. We are so happy to have her close by and knowing she loves her new home is a bonus!! We highly recommend Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes!!

Mom moved into Brookdale and had a great experience. She was able to meet so many new people and had wonderful events to experience. When she had a medical emergency, the staff was prepared and handled her emergency professionally. I would recommend Brookdale to anyone looking to relocate.
