Hawthorne Court Retirement Community sits along the banks of the Columbia River in Kennewick, WA, and has served seniors in the Tri-Cities area since 1986, offering both independent and assisted living options, with specialized memory care, skilled nursing, and respite care available for those who need it. The community keeps a warm, inviting feel and tries to help residents stay active and engaged, whether they enjoy tending to the outdoor garden, socializing in the bistro space over low-acid trücup coffee, or participating in group fitness and volunteer opportunities. Apartments and cottages come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom sizes, all with fully equipped kitchens, private patios, generous closets, and individually controlled heating and air conditioning, while emergency communication systems are built right in for safety. Large picture windows and natural color schemes bring in plenty of light, and there are multiple comfortable spaces-like the dining room with views of the courtyard, a common area with calming art, the game room by the fireplace, and a salon for hair care-where folks can relax or spend time together. Home-cooked, chef-prepared meals are served in two on-site restaurants, along with snacks and beverages at the hospitality bar, and special dietary needs can be met. Residents also enjoy a heated outdoor pool, a welcoming entrance with a covered entryway, lush landscaping, private patios, and transportation services. With staff on site 24 hours a day, including fitness instructors and concierge services, support for daily activities is always ready when needed, whether someone lives independently or requires more care, and with pet-friendly policies, many residents don't have to leave their pets behind. Hawthorne Court is a well-established, pet-friendly place with 62 licensed beds, operated by Leisure Care, Inc., focusing on providing dependable care in a homelike atmosphere, adjusting to meet the changing needs of older adults as they arise.
Welcoming social community with tradeoffs
I toured and moved my parent here and I found the staff overwhelmingly welcoming and genuinely caring - many go out of their way, know residents' names, and the activities/social life (bingo, outings, pool, exercise classes) is excellent. The rooms are spacious, mostly one-floor/ground-level, and the grounds, garden and dining areas are clean and homey. Food is generally good and varied, though several times I (and others) noticed declines or poorly prepared meals. The building is older - dated rooms, uneven floors, narrow bathrooms and few handrails - so accessibility and maintenance are concerns. Staffing turnover, understaffing and limited nursing coverage have caused worrisome lapses in care for some residents. It's pricey, but many residents seem happy; I'd recommend it for active, social seniors - just verify staffing, food consistency and safety before committing.
