Live in Our Community, Vacation for Free in Others.

Looking to make a trip this year?

Your accommodations are already paid for! As a resident of one of our independent living communities, you immediately become a member of the Hawthorn Resident Travel Program. That means you can check off some of your bucket list adventures and stay in any of our 70 participating U.S. senior living communities in North America for free.

Pack your bags and check into a guest suite for up to seven nights per visit* with all meals, programs and activities at no additional cost. Book a beach destination for some rest and relaxation for the weekend, visit a national park, take time to sightsee in tourist hot spots or visit family in their hometowns. We’re here to help you discover the rest of the country! After all, retirement should be about experiencing life, shouldn’t it?

You can dine with like-minded seniors right outside your private suite and participate in all the community’s on-site enrichment programs – just like you would in your own community – including events, fitness classes and amenities, all at no additional cost.

Our one-of-a-kind program makes our lifestyle a real value.
