Hawthorne Park sits at 3400 Hawthorne Ave in Eugene, Oregon, and it offers a quiet setting that many people find peaceful, especially if they want a break from busy days or the noise of the city, and you'll find lots of space outdoors-there are walkways, gardens, a picnic and barbecue patio, and some nice sunny or shady spots where people can just sit and listen to the birds or enjoy the fresh air. This retirement community has a variety of places designed for gathering, like common rooms for visiting or joining activities, and you'll always find something going on, whether it's Bingo, a book club, knitting, Wii games, movies, spiritual groups, or an evening of music and entertainment. They run offsite events too, and there are volunteer opportunities, like helping in the grocery store or gardening, joining the activity committee, or welcoming new neighbors through the greeter group, which is good for people who enjoy being involved.
Meals get served in their restaurant for breakfast and lunch, made with good ingredients, and if you don't want to sit in the dining room you can get takeout or room service. There's a basic grocery store onsite, so if you need snacks or small items you don't have to leave the property, and the beauty and barber shop opens up three days a week so folks can get a haircut or other services without needing to travel. Hawthorne Park lets residents grow vegetables, flowers, and herbs in little garden spaces that they assign to people each spring, and there's a library with books, DVDs, audiobooks, and quiet spots for reading or puzzles, so people can stay busy or relax, whichever suits them.
The staff provide support to meet different needs, and they have a Resident Services Coordinator who helps arrange health talks, visits from outside clinicians, and connects residents with other services in the wider Eugene community. Exercise classes happen twice a week, taught by outside teachers, focusing on strength, balance, and tai chi, which help people stay active and mobile, and pet therapy sometimes brings animals in for interaction and comfort. Hawthorne Park supports those who need assisted living tasks, like help with bathing, dressing, medication, and incontinence, and there's staff who can assist those who have diabetes or trouble walking. Those who prefer independent living can join in social and physical activities while managing on their own, and there are specialized areas for people with dementia to help reduce confusion and prevent wandering. They also provide home care and hospice services for those who need different levels of support as life changes.
Units come in one, two, or three-bedroom options, all with one bath, set in a 124-unit, multi-family building built in 1971 with just over 65,000 square feet total. There's a self-service laundry with a change machine and supplies for sale if you need them. Community awards have recognized Hawthorne Park for services like activities, friendly staff, care, and the quality of their dining, but there aren't any online reviews to read yet. Property details and customizable reports are available for people comparing housing options. Hawthorne Park welcomes seniors looking for a friendly community with help for daily tasks, chances to make friends, and opportunities to stay engaged and active, all in a calm, green setting.
