The Hawthorne Home

The Hawthorne Home sits on six country acres surrounded by cornfields and pastures, and over the years people have known it as the House of Seven Gables or the Hawthorne Mansion, with a history as a summer home and fine stock farm near Reading, and even now you can find rare trees, big gardens, and a greenhouse with flower beds that change every month, plus orchards filled with cherries, apples, peaches, and plums, and gardens that provide fresh vegetables in season. The house has a private, peaceful setting far from the street, with walking paths, outdoor sitting spots for enjoying the view, private parking, and a variety of single and semi-private room options, all renovated with modern touches like high grade granite counters, new appliances, big closets, WiFi, cable TV, in-unit washer and dryer, and both air conditioning and heat with efficient split units, so the inside always stays comfortable. The Hawthorne Home operates as a personal care and assisted living facility under Alvarium Personal Care, offering help with daily living needs like bathing and dressing, medication management, diabetic care, incontinence care, and support for residents who need extra help, along with Alzheimer's and memory care services and hospice support right on site, staffed with kind and helpful caregivers who are there to support everyone's independence in a nurturing way. There are community activities like game nights, story times, book clubs, movie nights, social hours, arts and crafts, music groups, devotional time, and even resident outings and field trips, with a big focus on helping people join in, feel included, and make friendships. Residents eat with friends in the common dining room where trained chefs and meal planners serve nutritious meals, and there are laundry services, housekeeping, and even linen washing so daily chores aren't a burden, and free transportation helps everyone get to appointments and outings. The facility's got parking for guests, companion care, physical therapy and rehabilitation, musical activities, and even hosts stabled horses for residents' families to visit with notice. Inside, the rooms are wired for cable, there's high speed WiFi throughout, common areas have big TVs, and there are recreation and craft rooms for relaxing or joining in. Pets aren't allowed, but children and grandkids can visit, and the home welcomes residents who want to live with support in a comfortable, safe environment with both privacy and chances to socialize, all while enjoying the country air and peaceful gardens. The Hawthorne Home is licensed by the state and supports payment by check; tours are available for anyone who'd like to visit and meet the residents or staff before making a decision.
