Excellent care. The people are wonderful.

Hawthorn has a positive and friendly vibe. The staff are always open and helpful; they are responsive to requests and take the initiative to convey any concerns they may have about our loved one. The atmosphere created by staff at Hawthorn is reflected in their residents - people are friendly and seem to mingle well. The activities arranged by staff are creative - there always seems to be a few things Dad joins in on. It’s a great place.

My Mom recently moved in to Hawthorn Park and has not looked back since! The entire staff have gone above and beyond to ensure that she is settling in and feels welcome. The food is delicious, activities and outings are plenty, and the residents are friendly and open to meeting new friends. My Mom is blossoming and enjoying her days surrounded by people, socializing and in a safe and secure environment, and free of the worries of home ownership and all that comes with it. Much gratitude to Alyssa for her work and assistance in helping us to make the change so seamless.

I am so happy with this residence. I helped move in a family member and from the first meeting, we felt they cared for and listened to us and treated us with kindness and respect. Now that my family member is settled, her needs are anticipated and if there are any concerns or suggestions they are acted on as soon as humanly possible. I would highly recommend Hawthorn Park, I believe it is the number one rated residence in Kelowna, if not the Okanagan, and I can see why.

Now that Covid is no longer a pandemic threat, Hawthorn has weathered the storm and remains vigilant to protect their residents. Our opinion of Hawthorn remains the same as this original review! All concerns are dealt with quickly and with consistent compassion.

All the get-togethers and the staff are just phenomenal. There’s the gym, the book club, all the different game and card games. We have entertainment that comes in which is wonderful.

We have a pastry chef and our deserts are so delicious. We have an Executive Chef so our meals are prepared fresh everyday. I just have to tell everybody how happy I am because I love it here.

It’s just such a pleasant place to be. It’s like being on a cruise.

I knew it was just what I was looking for. I walked in, had an interview and just fell in love with the place.

My family thinks it’s great that I’m here because I’m being looked after. People that live in these places benefit from the care in every way, the meals, knowing your safe and what not.
