Hawthorn House is an assisted living facility with 75 beds on the Bob Hope Village campus, and it's part of the Air Force Enlisted Village, mainly serving veterans, military spouses, and dependents. You'll find private apartments here, each about 425 square feet, with a kitchenette, large closet, private wheelchair-accessible bathroom, and all the basics like utilities, cable TV, wireless internet, and weekly housekeeping with daily trash pick-up already included so residents don't have to worry about those details. The staff offers 24-hour around-the-clock support, and there's a limited nursing services specialty license, which means help is available at all hours, with a special focus on both assisted living and memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or other dementias.
The place makes it easy for wheelchairs to get around, and residents have access to hospice care, physical, speech, and occupational therapy, plus daily activities like seated fitness, crafts, games, Wii bowling, Bingo on the big-screen TV, wellness seminars, and therapy animal visits. There's a library, arts and crafts, a beauty salon, convenience store, café, and planned social events and outings to keep people active and engaged if they want. Transportation is available for shopping, appointments, and entertainment, and meals are easy with a 24-hour dining service and a robust activity program that fills the calendar. The community supports both English and Spanish speakers.
Admission means going through a structured intake process, so new residents need documents like a marriage certificate, military ID card, and proof of retirement, since eligibility focuses on those connected to military service. Staff at Hawthorn House aim to meet physical, social, and spiritual needs, and the nonprofit setting tries to ensure a comfortable, supportive home where folks can keep as much independence as possible, but there's always help close by when it's needed. The facility, under license number AL10706, works hard to make sure residents are safe, comfortable, and part of a caring community.
