Our property features luxury living and dining accommodations, a beautiful center courtyard with a walking path, lush greenery, and comfortable areas where our residents can relax in the sun and catch up on their days. Bring your favorite book to our cozy community room while warming up beside the fireplace, or enjoy a fun and invigorating fitness class with new friends.

One of the most popular features of our community is the food. Our highly-experienced Chef creates diverse menus that are sure to please every palate. True to our Southwestern roots, we love to make grilled chicken dishes, chopped salads, oven-fried chicken, parfaits, and fresh vegetables from our tower garden. Our private dining room is warm, cozy, and inviting for everyone to enjoy.

There are also a wide variety of activities to take part in. For example, several residents recently came together to make peppermint scrub gifts for tours and prospective residents!

Frontier's Award-Winning SPARK™ Program

The friendly and compassionate staff at Hawthorn Court at Ahwatukee is proud to offer our Memory Care residents the award-winning SPARK™ program.

SPARK was inspired by the teachings and research of Maria Montessori and Dr. Cameron Camp and provides meaningful and life-enhancing experiences for people with dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

Our unique program engages our residents with proven rehabilitative strategies that strive to heighten interaction, optimize cognitive skills, as well as promote a sense of purpose and accomplishment. We use tailor-fit assessment tools to evaluate each resident's capabilities and strengths, so the program can best meet their specific needs. Residents are encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities based on their personal interests and abilities.

From art classes to happy hours, stretching classes, yoga, gardening club, birthday parties, and pet therapy, SPARK has something for everyone to enjoy! Other activities include cooking classes, karaoke, wine tasting, live musical performances, tai chi, brain fitness workshops, trivia games, BBQs, picnics, and Holiday parties!

In addition, through our SPARK program, some of our residents have participated in other projects such as helping with our chicken coop where, through repetition and procedural memory, skills can be learned and improved!

Caregiver Resources

As our parents and loved ones grow older the time will come when we have to consider the options available and what's in their best interest. While some people will opt for care in a senior living facility, others will take on the responsibility of acting as the primary caregiver for their loved one. Frontier is here to help ease the assessment process and to provide you with the resources needed to make the decision best for your loved one.

Health Care Resources

Perhaps the most significant concern as we age is our health and accessibility to health care. As we grow older it's important to concentrate on quality of life. Seniors may find themselves asking, what simple exercises can I do to live a healthier life? What are some healthy meals I can prepare for myself? Additionally, you may have questions about Medicare, health insurance, and disease education. Frontier has complied a wealth of health care resources for your convenience.
