Linwood Estates Gracious Retirement Living

Linwood Estates is an independent living community. Residents who want help such as medication reminders can use a third-party home health care provider that already serves a number of residents.

The community works with Lively to offer the Lively Mobile2 medical alert device for emergency support.

More than 50 floor plans are offered, including studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. Studios range from 365 to 825 square feet, one-bedrooms from 480 to 935 and two-bedrooms from 940 to 1,080.

Weekly housekeeping and linen service are provided, and the team handles maintenance from appliance repairs to landscaping.

Transportation is provided for appointments, shopping and outings.

Through the Hawthorn Resident Travel Program, residents can stay up to seven nights per visit in a guest suite at another Hawthorn community, subject to availability.

Chefs prepare three meals every day, with flexible choices for dietary preferences. Snacks, ice cream and beverages are offered all day at no additional charge.

Meals are served in the dining room, and residents can reserve a family dining room for milestones or dinners with family.

Group outings go to museums, theaters and local attractions. Programs include creative workshops in painting and journaling, wellness and stretching sessions, board games, trivia, live performances and guest lectures.

The activity calendar also includes creative writing classes, book and garden clubs, discussion groups, creative art projects and cooking demonstrations.

The community has landscaped grounds for strolls and gardening, comfortable common areas and community rooms, and a private dining room for family gatherings.

An on-site salon space is leased to licensed stylists and offers haircuts, styling, nail services and other spa treatments.

Linwood Estates is at 1611 Lawrenceville-Suwanee Rd in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
