Experience The Hawthorns With A Trial Stay

Considering a move to The Hawthorns but want to be sure it’s the right fit? A Trial Stay offers the perfect opportunity to experience the unique lifestyle and vibrant community we offer across all Hawthorns locations – without any long-term commitment.

What Is A Trial Stay?

A Trial Stay is a short-term, fully inclusive stay in one of our beautiful communities, designed to give you a real taste of life at The Hawthorns. Whether you’re still deciding on your future or simply want extra reassurance before committing, a Trial Stay allows you to experience everything Hawthorn’s Retirement Living communities have to offer – just like a permanent resident would.

Why Choose A Trial Stay?

Trial Stays are an ideal way to:

  • Get to know our community, residents, and friendly staff
  • Experience the full range of our services, activities, and facilities
  • Enjoy delicious, chef-prepared meals in our restaurant every day
  • Take part in events, classes, and social gatherings
  • Explore the local area and see how it suits your retirement lifestyle
  • Relax in a fully furnished, comfortable apartment with no need to bring furniture or pay a community joining fee

Most importantly, it gives you time to feel at home, build new friendships, and gain a real understanding of whether The Hawthorns is the right choice for this chapter of your life.

What’s Included?

Your Trial Stay includes everything enjoyed by our permanent residents:

  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner served daily
  • Housekeeping and laundry facilities
  • All scheduled activities, clubs, and outings
  • Use of communal lounges, gardens, and amenities
  • Access to our transport services (location-dependent)
  • 24/7 staff presence and alarm call system (if required)

Each Hawthorns location may vary slightly in availability and pricing, but the essence of the experience remains the same – welcoming, enriching, and relaxed.

How Does It Work?

Trial Stays typically last 28 – 30 days. A small number of fully furnished apartments are made available for these stays, so availability can be limited – especially in our most popular locations. Some communities also offer shorter stays or guest suite options as part of your discovery journey.

We may recommend a Trial Stay:

  • If you would like additional reassurance following your initial tour and assessment
  • If you’re excited about The Hawthorns lifestyle but not quite ready to commit permanently
  • If you’re interested in joining but would like to explore day-to-day life before making a decision

Pricing And Availability

Trial Stay pricing varies by location and apartment type. As a guide:

  • Stays typically range from £2,250 to £3,500 for a single resident
  • A second occupant may incur an additional fee
  • Some locations operate a waiting list system due to high demand

Please contact your chosen Hawthorns community directly for up-to-date availability, pricing and to register your interest.
