Brookdale

I started to look for a new home after my husband passed and I gave up driving. I was looking for a place close to stores, restaurants and my church. I checked several places in town and picked the BEST PLACE I checked out. I chose a One Bedroom apartment at Brookdale Brighton. I feel completely at home here and the rent is within my budget. The staff is friendly to everyone and so helpful. The meals are delicious. I could not have picked a better place to move to and have made many recommendations to my friends and other families at church.

Mom is happy there. It's been over a year and she is finally making some friends and participating in a few activities. Brookdale gets feedback from the residents on food they want or like. They keep everyone engaged. It's a very nice community.

My parents recently moved in and they are very happy. The facility is bright and clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. I didn't realize how worried I have been about them living in their home. I feel much more relaxed, knowing they are safe and comfortable in their new place. I always enjoy visiting!

The staff is nice and caring, the food is decent, they have activities for the residents...I just wish. they could have churches come do church on Sundays for the residents...But facility is clean and memory care is nice as well.

The staff were extremely welcoming. They understand the transition process can be stressful and make every effort to make it easy.

The overall experience has been a 5 hands down. All staff have been helpful and accommodating as well as watchful to his needs for a 93 year old man. The staff communicates frequently with us which has been a blessing. He loves the food and shows up early for every meal. This man has not gone many places in the last twenty years, (since his wife died) but he has been to a couple of outings every week with a bunch of women! They have been to the lakefront, Bailey Homestead Farm, and Michaels! They also had a car show on site that he really enjoyed. Physically, he is greatly benefiting from the walking square in the building. He is working on speed and endurance. He also attends the facility's exercise class. His room is simple but just what he needs to be "on his own". Brookdale has been a perfect fit!

It was great to visit at random times of day and see all of the staff members actively engaging the residents in one way or another. They seem to have a broad range of activities for residents at all cognitive levels. I think I this is key in a memory care setting.

Me experience would be a 5 for each category. My first impression was that this is the place. The staff is so nice and ready to help in any way. More importantly the residents give me the impression they are happy being there. I would recommend anyone that is searching for a loved one.

Most of the staff is friendly and accommodating. We haven't had any issues

Brookdale in my opinion is an excellent retirement community. Well situated in the City of Oak Park Illinois you have popular restaurants, Lake movie theater, various commercial shops, and medical offices all within walking distance from Brookdale. The staff at Brookdale is very helpful and sensitive to its residents. Truly Brookdale is an excellent retirement community!

My mom absolutely loves Diablo Lodge! Her own mother lived here back in the 90s, and it’s even better now. The community offers wonderful entertainment, engaging activities, and plenty of games. The apartments are not only beautiful but also safe and welcoming. From the very first tour to the move-in process, the staff made everything so easy—and have continued to be amazing every step of the way. The food is fantastic, with delicious daily specials that my mom looks forward to. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and she truly appreciates each and every one of them. Mom especially enjoys having her own balcony with beautiful views of Mt. Diablo. When she isn’t relaxing outside, she’s busy taking exercise or art classes, gardening, joining movie nights, or playing bingo—she gets to choose from so many great activities. I also love that I can take a trail to her back patio to visit her—it makes the setting even more special. Diablo Lodge is a wonderful home and community.

5+. The staff here is phenomenal (seriously!), food is great, love the dining experience especially seated with different residents so we get to know our neighbors, abundant and varied activities, and informative classes. It's the special little social gatherings that enhance our desire to stay here!

5 overall. Mom loves the food, there are many choices at every meal. The staff and nursing personal are excellent and take very good care of my mothers medical and personal needs when assistance is necessary. Very happy with Brookdale.

Activities yeah having friends and people who work here who care be fit, and the exercise that goes with it. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families. I think it's a really nice place to have.

The staff went above and beyond to make the transition as easy as possible. I would recommend to others.

I enjoyed staying here. I will be back if I need to.

.I would recommend to others. Unfortunately my brother had a stroke and was only able to stay for 3 a few months. I give them a 5 rating. Nice facility and clean

Every staff member and resident is very nice. Residents all happy

Moving our parents to Solana at the Vintage was a fantastic decision. They were very resistant to leaving their home and weren't happy at the beginning, but have been there almost 6 months and love it. We truly have no complaints. The staff is fantastic-very attentive and caring, the meals are delicious and so many activities available- bible studies, arts & crafts, exercise, movies twice every day, entertainers come to them, themed social hours and so much more.

If I gave this place a rating it would be a 10. All the people want to help you. [name removed] will help you with anything you need and [name removed] is very helpful and friendly. I will come back someday to here. Thanks again for everything you did for [name removed] and I.
