Not only is it a beautiful setting,  the staff make it a special place to be.

Whether you're looking for yourself,  or making important decisions for a parent or loved one, we'd invite you to see Hawthorne Court in Kennewick.

We told you recently about the classic car show they held there,  just one of a number of ways Hawthorne Court thinks differently about retirement living.

Retirement living sometimes gets a negative connotation,  but it's really pretty simple.   When you retire, often times you want an environment that still gives you all the freedom and independence you desire - but without the sometimes difficult responsibilities of keeping up a home.    Perhaps you or a loved one are still very much on their own, but they could use a little help in day to day activities.

Whether it's independent or assisted living,  Hawthorne Court is worthy of a tour.   General Manager Ray Francis is glad to sit down with you, maybe over lunch, or just a cup of coffee, and hear what's on YOUR mind.

They especially welcome the tough, emotional and sometimes difficult challenges adult children face when a mother or father needs some help in making their retirement years easier.  Or perhaps that loved one just cannot bear the burden of living on their own, and need a caring, attentive environment so they can still enjoy life.

Click here to see what Hawthorne Court has to offer your family, and those who have or are retiring.    Where else would they let you come stay for a night or two to experience it?  That's how confident they are about  it.   We've seen it, experienced it, and it's more like a resort!   So many activities,  the staff takes the time to say hello and learn your name, and it provides a family-like atmosphere.

And probably nobody works harder to make sure you or your loved one are part of the Hawthorne Court family.  It's pretty remarkable, watching them interact with the residents, and even visitors.

Thinking out of the box,  active,  caring,  and friendly.   That's what sets them apart.  At Hawthorne Court,  they're building relationships one friend at a time.
