Hawthorne Estates in Ocala provides a single level of care—assisted living—designed for adults who need routine help with daily activities and consistent health monitoring. Licensed nurses manage individual service plans, supervise medication administration, and track vital signs, while certified nursing assistants deliver hands-on support with bathing, dressing, transfers, and continence care day and night. On-call physicians review any acute changes, and outside specialists conduct on-site visits for therapies, labs, and imaging when ordered.

Complementing its medical oversight, the community embeds several safety and wellness features into daily life. An emergency response system links each residence to staff at all hours, scheduled wellness checks are standard, and transportation is arranged for off-site medical appointments. Residents may participate in fall-prevention classes, chronic disease education, and weekly wellness clinics. Social workers help coordinate pharmacy deliveries, insurance paperwork, and transitions to additional services, including hospice, if a resident’s condition changes.

Accommodations include studios, one-bedroom apartments, and companion suites, all with step-free access and bathrooms set up with grab bars and non-slip flooring. Most units have kitchenettes, individual temperature controls, and cable or internet connections, and the community supplies weekly housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance. Not all accommodations have every listed feature, so it is important to confirm specifics during a tour.

Dining services provide three daily meals in a common dining room, with snacks offered throughout the day. Menus are developed by a registered dietitian, and the kitchen routinely prepares low-sodium, diabetic, and other medically indicated diets. Tray service is available for residents recovering from illness or those who simply prefer to eat in their apartment, and a private room can be reserved for family gatherings. Staff monitor nutritional intake and communicate with nursing to adjust portions or textures when medical conditions require it.
