I toured Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes and was amazed at the professionalism of the people who greeted me. They knew their stuff. They're very good. The rooms had more of an older look, but they were bigger. Then they had a pool, a nice meeting area, and a private dining area for you where you can celebrate your birthdays. I enjoyed their food. Also, they were the facility that had the most veterans.

Choose Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes
From day one when our family member moved in, we have been so impressed by the Brookdale admin team and all the staff. However, words cannot convey how incredibly grateful we are for all they have done during this challenging pandemic year. Although keeping residents healthy and safe has been the primary goal, they have found numerous ways to safely engage everyone and creative ways to support connections with family including helping residents to connect via technology like zoom calls. If anyone in your family needs a high quality, caring residential home, choose Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes.

I stayed for a month in Brookdale Vernon Hills for respite care. It was very good, I had nothing but good things to say. I think the staff was excellent, I think they tried very hard to make everybody feel welcome and content, I think the food was good, and my rehab was excellent. I participated in some activities, they seemed to be okay, and the people seemed to enjoy them and participate.

Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes was very warm and welcoming. It's beautiful. We especially liked their cookies. The dining area looked like a nice restaurant and they had a menu with many food options. I saw an activities calendar and there was even a group of residents playing cards. They had a shuttle service where you could get a car and a caregiver would go with you whenever you needed to. The staff members that we met at the front desk were very friendly and very accommodating -- they've been there for a while and there's not a huge turnover.

Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes is an older, more established place that's nice and done in a different way. It's not as light and airy, but it's very nice. The apartments are spacious and nice. You can overlook a big lake in Vernon Hills. It's easy to move around, and the food's good.

Brookdale Hawthorn Lakes was stinky. I wouldn’t recommend the place because it smelled so bad. It was old, it was dark and it was stinky. To me, it stunk and I could hardly wait to get out of there. The residents seemed very active, but it was dark and gloomy. The woman that took us around did everything she was supposed to do but when we asked for an extra brochure for my daughter and the woman went away, she was gone for half an hour, and so we left. Also, there were many people there and the facility looked like it was very crowded.

We visited Brookdale Hawthorn. It was a very nice community. We were very pleased with it. If my mother moved, she would have moved there; however, she decided not to move. They were very accommodating and pleasant. There was a nice lake for walking around, the food tasted wonderful, and the rooms were nice and very sizeable. The one-bedroom that she looked at was the same size as her two-bedroom out in New Hampshire, so the rooms were large. I could not remember all the activities, but there were a lot of them.

Moving my parents here in Feb. far surpassed our expectations. My mom had been ready to move in for about a year and my dad was completely resistant. It has been such a great move for my parents. The activities are great, they love the meals, but I think what is the best part of all is the staff is ALL so kind and caring. From the day my parents arrived the staff have shown their kindness. My parents entire quality of life is better on every level and they are both so happy. For me it's a huge piece of mind that they're there and can age in place. It has been a wonderful experience for our family.

We visited Hawthorn Lakes. People seemed happy. My father, for some reason, didn’t like it. He thought it was too busy, but I think that he’s just mentally not ready to move into that type of a facility. The apartments were very nice, very clean, and spacious. We were able to have lunch there, so we were able to check out the food, which is very good. They get two meals a day, and there were activities. There is a physical therapy room there. They had a workout room, a hairdresser, and a library.

My mother is in Hawthorn Lakes, and they are terrific. We chose it because it is local. It is incredible how much they have going on there. They have card games, interactive games, dances, music, poker, bridge, and pool. They have outings. They have a theatre. They have book study clubs. You name it, they have it. They have nice rooms. Everything is clean and well-kept. They are awesome and amazing. I cannot say anything bad about them.

At Hawthorn Lakes, we were able to get into an apartment that is over 1000 square feet, which is still small, but it is larger than any we could have gotten at other places. This facility is independent living with a little bit of help. It is a little bit pricey though, but it is worth it. We are happy with everything. We did have a few minor problems when we came in with the computer getting hooked up and stuff like that. Also, the telephone system could be improved too. They have a lot of activities there. Unfortunately, about two to three weeks after we checked in, my wife began to have little problems with her MS, and she has been in bed most of the time since then. We haven't really participated in any of their activities. Before that though, she played bingo. They have bingo once or twice a week. They show movies. We would like to watch some of them, but we can't get out to that because we have to get my wife in and out of bed for everything and it is very tough on her. Overall, I think it is a very nice place. It is also very clean. The people who work there are very friendly. They know my name. Most of the people who I passed by in the lobby or dining room would say hi to me. This place just has a very nice, friendly atmosphere. The staff here is much more personally involved. They are much better.

I move my parents last June in Hawthorn Lakes. It is a Brookdale community. I personally enjoy the staff and the cleanliness of the facility. The cost is very reasonable and most important for my parents is the location. I have nothing but good things to say about them. The treat my parents like family. They always had activities every day. Today mommy is telling me about two activities they have. It is not just "let's go downstairs and let's exercise", but two parties. She is constantly going in and out of their apartment.
They have two meals without extra cost. You can have breakfast, lunch or dinner. Then can also have three meals a day and if my parents doesn't want to go to the dining room, the can request room service for additional charge. The food is good and the portions are perfect for their age. My husband walks away hungry when we join them for dinner. But my parents have never complained that they didn't have enough to eat. They do have a kitchen and my parents have stove and refrigerator. They just don't have a dishwasher. But that's okay because we don't want them to cook. So, it is awesome. I will recommend them. If you have older parents, that's where they got to go.

I liked the apartments at Hawthorn Lakes because they were beautiful. The staff was very nice. The food was good. They had different activities. However, in their independent living facility, the parking was too far away. I would recommend it to people who could walk far to go to the parking area.
