Brookdale Northbrook

I toured with Brookdale Northbrook and it was lovely. It was just a bit further than we wanted. The facility also didn't have laundry in-unit, and that was really important to my parents.

My parents only lived at Brookdale for only 3 years, but the care and love they received from the devoted staff made their, and their children's experience, feel like their long time home. When we left after their needs required more extensive medical care than Brookdale had to offer, we cried in the lobby with 6 members of the upper management and their long term care givers - it was so hard to leave. In responding to our families needs, they did everything possible to accomodate my parents whims and health issues. I recommend Brookdale Northbrook mostly for all the love in the halls there, and the smiles on the members of the community from the executive director down to the neighbors in the hallway you meet on your way down to dinner. It is a loving community to be part of, what more could one ask for their family members?

Welcoming atomosphere. More professional and attentive staff. Clean. Some hiccups the first week. We will see how it works out. Too early to tell.

I feel like I am living on a CruiseShip on land! I am entertained from 9am to 7pm. I do not have to cook or clean anymore and I have made many friends! The staff is wonderful too and I view them as family!

As soon as I walked into this community, I felt an overwhelming feeling of warmth. The energy was great. The staff is very responsive, attentive and pleasant. There are a lot of interactive activities to choose from. The food is high quality and there are many choices to pick from. I feel safe living here!

I am very happy living at Brookdale Northbrook. I have a beautiful spacious apartment and I have made many friendships. The staff is helpful and compassionate. I wish I had moved in sooner! Please consider Brookdale Northbrook!

I have lived here for almost 7 years. I moved here from Massachusetts, not knowing anyone that lived here. Since I have moved in, I have made so many genuine friendships. I also don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning anymore! The staff is fantastic!

I love living here. The staff is outstanding and considerate of our needs always. I have made many friends and I always have something to do. I never feel lonely since my husband passed away. Brookdale Northbrook is a very kind environment!

Brookdale Northbrook has proven to be the place for me. I am busy here and keep active. There are no shortages of activities to choose from. The staff is amazing and work really well as a team. I also enjoy being one of our resident ambassadors who help welcome new residents to Brookdale. i am proud to be part of this wonderful community!

This is a very secure place with caring staff and a wonderful atmosphere. I feel like a am part of a community, not just a resident. The staff feels like family. iIam lucky to call Brookdale Northbrook my home.

Brookdale Northbrook is a great place to live. I have lived here for 6 years. the staff is super and always helpful! if you need help, it is always available to you! The wait staff is excellent, and the food is top notch. I am thankful for living here.

I love living at Brookdale Northbrook! I am doing things that I normally wouldn't do. I have many options of activities! I am now doing improv, yoga, and painting classes. I also feel safe living here and always leave my door open! I recommend this place to anyone wanting to feel a sense of purpose again!

Brookdale Northbrook seemed a little dated, just generally not as nice of a facility. Also I believe that the independent residents were totally separated from those getting assistance. My mother needs help but is mentally very sharp. It is good for her to be with people who are still mentally strong which I think would not have happened at Brookdale had we chosen this facility.

We are very happy w/Brookdale!!They are very good w/the residents needs. We are very happy w/the in person health care & therapy that she can receive right on site!! Her apartment is very nice & spacious for her. Their food is very good!! We feel that she is very safe here & we do not have to worry anymore.

I moved in almost two years ago, and it's like a cruise on land. I like how friendly the people are. They have a variety of different activities. Recently they just had a Christmas party. And they do candle lightings for Hanukkah. They try to accommodate everyone's preferences. I love my apartment and find it convenient and comfortable. They come in and clean my apartment once a week, and they do the bed linens and towels at that time. The cost is competitive as well. I have no complaints.

It is a nice homey place and the staff is extra friendly. Everyone here is so happy and cozy. It is a very homey atmosphere and it is very pleasant. I came here with my husband who passed away but I decided to stay.

The community is extremely clean and they come to clean our apartment once a week. The staff members are so wonderful and very accommodating. The meals and dining service is excellent. There are so many different activities I enjoy participating in - there is acrylic painting, all different kinds of exercise classes, balance classes and improve classes. We have speakers and live entertainment that also comes to the community. I have been here for a few years and I really enjoy Brookdale.

It has been a wonderful experience, but you have to make yourself a part of it. I go to the activities and some of the exercises. Everything is available for you to take advantage of. I find that the people who are complaining just aren't doing anything. If you love it here as much as I do, then you'll take part in the community. I love my apartment. I like the layout and how spacious it is. I like that I was able to fix it up myself. And the staff here are great.

I am much happier, than I thought I would be. They have cleaning services, which has been helpful. They change the linens weekly. The people are so friendly, and it's a smaller community. The department heads are terrific and work well as a team. The activities are superb. They have yoga, chair exercises, a lot of entertainment/singers and different types of card games.

Brookdale Northbrook was a little more expensive. We could have gotten only a studio there for the same pierce as a 1-bedroom at other places. It just seemed very big. Independent residents and assisted living residents were completely separate. It was just not the right fit for my loved one.
