A COMFORT LIFE REPORT:
Hawthorn Park Retirement Community - Verve Senior Living vs. Athens Creek Retirement Lodge

HAWTHORN PARK RETIREMENT COMMUNITY - VERVE SENIOR LIVING

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.

ATHENS CREEK RETIREMENT LODGE

Athens Creek Retirement Lodge in Penticton has always combined charm and modern comfort, but under the new ownership of PARC Retirement Living, it’s poised for exciting enhancements. PARC is award-winning for its active seniors’ residences, and known for responsiveness, upscale living, and thoughtful service. Penticton seniors and their families can expect newly elevated retirement living here.

My daughter's dance class did a performance here: lovely place. Considered asking if they would make an age exception and take me in. Looking forward to getting old!

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.

Residents are introduced to each department manager to explain their role in the community. We assign a resident ambassador to help welcome and orientate them to their new surroundings. The first few days are a time of adjustment, getting to know their new home. To help with this adjustment period we offer complimentary meal escorts. A new resident welcome tea is also planned to introduce them to their peers currently residing in our home.
