Brookdale

Everything is wonderful! Love the residents and staff.

Helpful, informative, kind, though. Quick to respond easy to make an appointment. Nice walk through of facility.

Sales manager was though with infor about the facility and answered all of my question. The tour of the facility was of all of the recreational areas. The empty and gathering places.

I have lived at Brookdale Oak Park three and half years. The staff is great and responsive, helpful and capable. The food is pretty good. The Executive Chief tries new dishes. The wait staff treats you nicely. The maintenance staff is excellent.

Great place for friendship activities and living.

Staff is friendly and the food is good. Premises are very clean and the activities are great. My parents are happy there and they are well taken care of.

Staff is very nice as are the people. It's all good he seems to be getting into the activities, change is hard for him so he's managing quite well. The only negative is there is no store to walk to.

I'm very happy here at Brookdale First Colony. I have been here for almost 2 months now. I really like the the people and staff here, everyone is friendly. There is a lot of different things to do here and stay busy.

I have met many very friendly people here at Brookdale First Colony already. I have been welcomed into all the activities here. Atmosphere is great, food is good. I enjoy the open air community here.

I recently had to enter my Aunt and Uncle in Brookdale and everything has been Very positive. The accommodations are very cozy, the workers are extremely polite and helped me whenever I needed a question answered. Shoutout to [name removed] for his patience with my many questions for him. The food according to my Aunt is very good. This is a very tough time for my family and I have a peace of mind knowing my family is being cared for in the best way . And thanks to the Brookdale workers for all their patience they show. I know it can’t be easy. Thank you

I have lived here one year and a half The food is good. The staff is good. I love the trivia game on Tuesday's. The residents are okay. Brookdale Oak Park is in a central location to Downtown Oak Park, grocery stores, movie theater and restaurants.

After doing a lot of searching for the right place for the new chapter in my life. Brookdale Oak Park has been the answer to all my concerns. The staff has been more than helpful. They have been thoughtful and caring. I have been very pleased with meeting new friends and other residents.

The very friendly staff impressed me on my first visit and they have maintained that attitude throughout my move-in. They quickly provide help and make suggestions. They have made the move much easier. The residents are friendly and eager to acquaint new residents with all services and show us the places we need to know. They have welcomed us with open arms. It’s easy to make friends. The maintenance staff is quick to help when I need it too. They are very talented and experienced. We also have good transportation to doctors, shopping, banks and the all major museums, sights or places of interest in our area. I like the 2 good libraries. Some people love the sewing club, book club or writing club. The lively activity room or the card and game rooms are always full. There’s certainly enough going on to please everyone. Overall, I think Brookdale West University is very well-run which makes a calm and happy place to live. I’m glad I chose to live here!

I like the place over all. The people are very friendly as is the staff. Our apartment is much better than we expected. It’s a good place for our needs right now! So far no complaints. Even the view is GREAT!

My parents were only there one month as they waited for their home to be repaired from a small fire And everything was great and appreciated while there. The only thing that was bothersome was a $[removed] fee upfront on top of everything.

I brought my mom to Brookdale Forest City to live in the assisted-living side. Mom adjusted well everyone was attentive to her needs management has been nothing but good to me in my mother. I couldn't have asked for a better place to place my mom. I know she's being loved by other others than my family.

Very helpful recruiter, [name removed], and [name removed] helped a lot as well. Nice layout, good food and good range of activities.

I have not moved in yet but the staff has been really helpful in working with me while I am getting ready. Everyone is friendly and welcoming and when I stayed for lunch the food was good. I am looking forward to my move in date.

I recently had to locate a place for memory care for my wife. After visiting with the staff of Brookdale Lake Highlands, I knew I didn't have to look any further. The staff was very caring and obviously had my wife's best interests at heart. The residents I saw during my visit all seemed very happy and content. That feeling was confirmed later as I was leaving after my first visit. I walked out with the daughter of a current memory care resident. When I told her I was thinking about placing my wife there, she said "Oh, you will love it. My dad is here and he is very happy". And that has turned out to be my experience. Every aspect of her care has met the highest standards. I was really concerned about the adjustment such a transition would entail, but it has gone very smoothly.

The staff is well trained in the memory care unit to assist with the residents that have dementia. I know it can’t be easy for caregivers dealing with people with dementia and I was simply amazed. The engagement with the residents and activities impressed me. All of the staff throughout the building are so compassionate and helpful. I am happy my loved one is at Brookdale Forest City Memory Care.
