It's easy to make a great new life for yourself at Hawthorn Park. You'll often hear laughter coming from throughout the building. People happily share their lives with each other here and through activities like bingo, strolls with the walking group, or dancing during Happy Hour. The community environment facilitates the formation of new, caring relationships and a renewed love of life.
Hawthorn Park is at the top of the list of retirement homes in Kelowna proper. A number of things about this community make it outstanding: the personalization of each suite, fantastic features inside and out, and its care for dementia sufferers. The suites here are some of the most reasonably priced we have seen for a community of this quality.
When the time comes and you know you have to move, Hawthorn Park allows you to create a new life for yourself, to start over from where you are. You'll find great new friendships with people your own age. There's always just enough to do, no matter who you are or what you like: card games on the patio, yoga classes, or just a chat over coffee. The community is especially nicely decorated throughout -- just one more aspect that facilitates happiness of residents.
One of the nicest things about this community is the amount of flexibility that residents have. This begins with the way residents are able to personalize suites with whatever they want to bring with them from home. Residents also love that they can plant their own choice of flowers in their balcony gardens. At meals you always have a choice between at least two entrees.

"Recently my Mom has taken residence at Hawthorn Park in Kelowna . She has settled in nicely thanks to all the wonderful professionals both Mgmt and Staff, that go out of their way to make your day great! The food is a big part of independent living and at Hawthorn the food is very good, a mix for all palates... I recommend Hawthorn as a safe and professionally run place for anyone who asks. No regrets having my Mom live at Hawthorn in Kelowna!

"My mom has been at HP independent living (or supportive housing - same thing) for 3 years. Staff are very caring and friendly and helpful.

I love the layout of the main fl..."

They have been quick to respond with assistance when needed (like misplacing hearing aids). I have been able to reach nursing staff in a timely manner if I have a concern or questions. Staff added many extras to help the residents deal with Covid as well (like concerts from the parking lot that they could watch from a balco..."
