Hear firsthand how our residents experience gracious retirement living every day at Hawthorn Senior Living.

★★★★★

“After my husband passed, I knew that Bella Vista was the place for me. I had taken care of him for so long and I was so tired that I was really ready to have someone help me. Having three meals a day prepared for me, and the girls to clean my apartment is such a blessing! I have made so many wonderful friends here that this place feels more like family and living in a real home. That’s why I have been here for six years with no plans to move.”
