The Air Force Enlisted Village at Shalimar, Fla., has opened the doors to Hawthorn House, the latest addition to the community that provides a home for widows of retired enlisted Airmen. Hawthorn House, a 64-apartment assisted living residence, brings a 38-year dream to life for an organization whose goal has always been lifetime care for these widows. Divided into four “neighborhoods” that include 16 apartments, a dining area, living area and laundry room, the upscale two-story state-of-the-art facility was built on five acres of land on the Bob Hope Village campus at Shalimar. To date, 30 residents occupy the facility. For information about assisted living at Hawthorn House, contact the administrative assistant at (850) 651-3013. For information on independent living apartments at Teresa Village or Bob Hope Village, contact the admissions department at (800) 258-1413.
