"2025 Update: This place has gone downhill over the 4 years my parents have been there! My father fell on 8/30/2025 and had a significant skin tear on his left arm the wound Dr came and Brookdale lost the order for home health, wound getting worse. 2. My mother is unable to get into the bathroom 2. My mother is unable to get into the bathroom in her wheelchair because the bathroom is not handicapped accessible. They have lived there for 4 years and since the beginning my mother has been having to use the potty in the bedroom. My father has had to do this himself for all these years. I have asked for help for him to take care of my mother and no service care evaluation never gets scheduled. Even when we press the pendant that we need help with her to get her up on the potty etc, no one empties the potty into the toilet. The potty is disgusting and my father should not be having to deal with this when he has such a nasty wound on his arm. Mother ongoing UTIs" - Deborah… Read more

"Terrible. My Mom often sits in her room in a dirty diaper and old clothes worn the day before even though I set out new clothes for her every day. Her briefs are often not changed. Mom has had to go to the hospital twice in last month for questionable UTI. Mom has many sores on her skin needing ointment application twice daily. Staff only applied once. I asked why it was not being done. NOT A CLUE Staff often does not know why Mom is not getting bathed. I asked more than two times to let me know if she is not allowing them to bath her. Room is not cleaned often. I have to change her bed. Food it horrible often feeding them high pasta and rice diet to control costs. Kitchen help hides in the kitchen rather than assisting residence. 20 min. to take order another 20 min. to receive food. No utensil at times. Witnessed more than once staff putting food down walking away from resident without forks or knives to eat with. 10 minutes later resident raised hand for help. I visit mom every day" - Diana… Read more

"My mom moved into TS Memory Care 12/20/2023. It has been a dream for us-a good dream. They allow cameras without audio recording, they allow private caregivers and do not decrease their own care plan and the food is delicious. They have caring staff, well trained and volunteers who pleasantly create relationships and companionships. My mom is able to respond but looses words which is not a problem with the staff and volunteers. Trinity Springs set up is wonderful. The halls are bright and wide. The rooms are equipped so well with storage in bath and kitchenette that mom didn’t need a dresser. Professionalism is pristine. The director has a dedicated professional team where access is very timely. I can contact the on duty nurse by text or call. I and my mom highly recommend Trinity Springs!" - Patricia… Read more

"Sadly my Mom is there for now. The sales team is great but once you are in nothing ever gets fixed. All residents complain about the food. But 5 months ago my Mom's AC failed and is still not fixed. I have complained as high up their management ladder I can find. And have heard 2 weeks to repair for 4 months. Their solution is a floor unit in my Mom's small family room which sits in the middle of the floor. Worse, there's no room for a unit in her bedroom. Anyway, please proceed with caution if you're looking at Hawthorne and talk to some residents but not the ones hand picked for insight." - Ed… Read more
