About this community

Hawthorne Inn of Brandon is a senior living community in Brandon, Florida, offering assisted living and memory care at its Inn location. The residence operator’s website identifies this Brandon site as assisted and memory care, while listing independent living at a separate address nearby. The care options described for the Inn are therefore assisted living and memory care, not independent living. The available information focuses on personal support, meals and services for residents’ daily routines.

Assisted-living support includes help with bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, medication management and meals. These services address common personal-care and daily-living needs; the descriptions do not suggest that every resident requires or receives all of them. Dining is listed as three meals each day, with a choice of entrees. This provides a stated meal schedule and some selection at mealtimes, though details such as menus and dining hours are not provided.

Memory care is described for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Residents’ memory-care plans are customized, with attention to nutrition, and activities are intended to encourage social interaction. Daily activities are also described as tailored to residents’ interests and abilities. Another listing mentions social activities and wellness programs, but does not specify their schedules or particular formats. Together, these details indicate an emphasis on individualized planning and participation without defining a fixed activity program.

Practical services listed for residents include weekly housekeeping, personal laundry and linen service. Suites have adjustable heating and cooling, and emergency pull cords are located in both bedrooms and bathrooms. Basic television service and complimentary Wi-Fi are also noted. Transportation is listed as available, although destinations and arrangements are not specified. An on-site beauty salon is another listed convenience. A community listing also refers to common areas, without describing their layout or specific uses.

The surrounding Brandon area includes shopping destinations named in local listings: Westfield Brandon, Regency Square and Bloomingdale Square. Nearby dining choices are described as spanning seafood, Mediterranean, Hawaiian and Cajun cuisines. These area references offer a sense of the kinds of shops and restaurants in the vicinity, but do not indicate that the community provides outings to them.

Local attractions identified in the area include ZooTampa at Lowry Park, the Tampa Riverwalk and the Florida Aquarium. HCA Florida Brandon Hospital is listed as less than five miles away, and Tampa International Airport as about a 30-minute drive. These are nearby destinations and travel references; the descriptions do not specify transportation to any of them.

After her discharge from the hospital, my mother was a resident in respite care. I can’t say enough about the quality of care they provided. My mother is basically an introvert and they had her involved in activities that shocked her whole family. She was really happy and thriving and that is primarily because of staff and their interactions with all the residents. Tiffany is very compassionate, knowledgeable and there’s a genuine kindness about her that makes you feel at ease and comfortable with leaving a loved one in their care. I could easily give Hawthorne five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing facility with amazing staff and administration! Staff treat residents with love and care and always go out of their way for your loved ones, truly a dedicated team! Daily activities at the facility keep everyone active, engaged and involved, and allows them to socialize and build a community. The rooms are neat and well made with more than enough space, and the wide selection of food is amazing! Would definitely recommend 10/10!!

The administrator, Tiffany, is a dictator! STAY AWAY. She does not listen to residents or families, is only in this for a pay check and has no empathy! I wouldn’t wish my worst enemy to live in this place.

Great place! Beautiful facility and the staff are wonderful!

One of the best assisted living facilities in the area! They have a great activities program, and go above and beyond for their residents. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking for a new home for themselves or a loved one.

This is an amazing ALF! They treat the residents like family. I highly recommend!

I toured the Hawthorne Inn of Brandon's assisted living facility. One negative was that the studio was very small, much smaller than anything I've seen. I thought it was a very beautiful facility, though, and it looked like they had a lot of nice things. They had what they called a library, a place with books, and a snack place with coffee. They had a lot of activities, too. I just don't think it's a place I want to go, as nice as it was, as I would rather be where the rooms are a little bigger. I also don't think it's the one I would pick because it was so quiet. They spoke highly of the lady who does their activities. They said she had a lot of ideas. They were painting masks and they were nice and cool. The activities looked very interesting. The lady who did the tour was nice. She answered all my questions and gave us a good tour and some information for people with Medicaid. She also gave me a menu sample, but I didn't get a chance to look at it.

Very clean place and professional staff
