Hawthorne Estates of Brandon

My husband and I are in here. We chose this place because I wanted to be close to home, and a lot of people from my church recuperated here. When I came and looked at the place, I really liked it too. The apartments are nice-sized. We get two meals a day, and the food is terrific. They have two choices for every meal, and we get a paper the night before, check off what we want to eat the next day, they pick it up, and then that's what you'll be getting. They also make your bed, change your sheets every other week, do housekeeping, vacuuming, dusting, cleaning the bathroom, cleaning the kitchen, and you can use the washing machine at no cost. It's everything I could have asked for. We have a living room on one end, and a kitchen on the other end. The kitchen is just small, because we only make breakfast in there. It's got a full-size refrigerator, a four burner stove, and an oven. I have a queen size bed, a large dresser, a chest of drawers, bedside tables on each side, and a huge six-by-six feet walk-in closet. The bathroom is also huge in case you need any help getting out of it. There's room for everything. They take you shopping, or a van will take you to places for sightseeing. They have an entertainment room, and they play bingo, cards, and other games. They have a beautician that comes in to do the hair, and a girl that does the nails every weekend. If you have some company, you can have them serve your supper in the library, or you can have a private room to entertain them. Right now, we have to wear our masks in the common areas, and we're not allowed to have anyone in our rooms. I've only been here for a little while and nothing has come up that's just been a problem. It's so wonderful. The people are so friendly, and I feel like I'm on a cruise. I just love it here.

Hawthorne is just a fabulous place to live. I love the whole thing. The staff is just wonderful. Anything that you want done, they will do it. They're just very caring people. They're friendly and very helpful, too. I like the food. They have bingo, afternoon tea once a month, theme nights, and movies.

I liked Hawthorne very much. It was clean. The staff was very friendly. Their private rooms and shared rooms were in decent sizes. They had games for the residents and they took them out by bus.
