My Dad is really happy there. All of the staff are helpful, kind and accommodating. The residents are very friendly and welcoming. He enjoys the delicious meals and the activities.

What a wonderful community and home we've found for our Dad! The staff have been so caring and accommodating and as per my Dad, the food has been excellent. His apartment is quiet and perfectly sized and the grounds are just beautiful. But what takes a place and makes it a home is the warmth and good feeling you get when you come in. You feel that at Orchard Gardens. It feels alive with happy staff and happy residents mingling and socializing. We can't begin to describe the positive effect it's had on our Dad and how much younger and happier he seems. Our biggest regret is not moving him here sooner.

I have lived [here] for 2.5 years. I love my suite; it is comfortable, quiet and secure. I also enjoy the large library and Beauty Salon. The management and staff are of a top caliber and put their hearts into their work.

The atmosphere of Fernbrae is different from every old folks home I’ve been to. Everyone there, residents and staff, are very welcoming and they all seem to care deeply about one another. From what I’ve seen, the staff goes above and beyond to put effort into helping with any problems the residents have. :D

Orchard Gardens is a very special place to reside. Our meals are lovely and are served in an elegant dining room. Orchard has so many choices for entertainment that I never tire for things to do. I love the beautiful grounds full of different variety of colorful flowers. There is fun to be had at Orchard Gardens and above all kindness and understanding for those that live in our community.

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.
