Hawthorne House

Hawthorne House sits in Newport's fifth ward in Rhode Island, and you'll find it's designed for comfort and safety, so there's a single-story layout and universal design to make moving around easier for everyone, and there's a mix of living choices like one-bedroom units, studios, and semi-private living quarters, all set up to give a sense of privacy while still being close to help when someone needs it, and folks can also stay in the fully wheelchair accessible Gooseberry House nearby, which has a gourmet kitchen and is meant for longer short-term stays of six to nine months. This community focuses on supporting seniors with things like assistance with personal care, dressing, and showering, plus memory care staff trained to help those with Alzheimer's or dementia, Parkinson's disease care, and regular health assessments, and they offer custom care plans, medication management, and personalized service plans, which means people can get just the help they need each day, nothing more or less, and the staff is there day and night, with nursing staff and visiting medical professionals too. Hawthorne House feels nurturing and tries to help everyone live as independently as possible, but there's always access to meals, a dementia-friendly menu, in-room emergency response systems, internet, a private dining room, a café, concierge services, scheduled transportation, and an on-site pharmacy, along with extras like a theatre room, a fitness area, high-definition TVs, a massage therapy service, arts & crafts studio, walking trails, wellness programs, and mealtime help if anyone needs it. They do offer short-term respite stays as well, and the community encourages residents to join programs and use amenities that add to daily routines while making things easier and more comfortable, with everything set up to create a dignified and engaging place to call home, and the environment has an air of Newport's beauty and charm, but they stick to a steady approach and let the services make daily life a bit smoother for those who live there.
