Brookdale Des Plaines

I was apprehensive about moving into a senior living community, but I have been very impressed with Brookdale. The residents and staff are very friendly and genuine. I have lived at Brookdale for four years and I have been in charge of the library for the last two years which I love. I would highly recommend Brookdale Des Plaines!

The residents and staff are very friendly and welcoming. There are many activities to participate in and my favorite are the history lectures. The lectures are very informative, and we are currently learning about the civil war. I also enjoy meal chats with the Director of Dining services. I love living at Brookdale Des Plaines!

I love the library and ability to use the extended library services with the Des Plaines Public Library. The staff is wonderful and compassionate. I enjoy the cafe where I can grab a quick sandwich and a cold drink. This is my favorite time of year, and I am enjoying the lovely decorations throughout the community.

I stay active with all the wonderful programs and activities Brookdale provides which I love. I have made great friends because of our common interests, and I am very happy at Brookdale!

The staff at Brookdale is outstanding! Everyone is wonderful and helpful in every way. The library is extremely important to me, and they have a wonderful, organized library with a large variety of books. I love to read the newspapers in the library every day. The Des Plaines Library is just a block away if I need a particular book. I have physical therapy at Brookdale and the staff is professional, efficient and they know their field very well.

8-29-24, The location of this Brookdale to MAJOR medical entities is a major plus when considering where to live. I failed to include this to my previous 5 star reviews (as a resident). Those considering senior housing for an elderly person know GOOD medical care to be a VERY IMPORTANT and noteworthy element. Start with Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, 2.2 miles away. Then combine that with the Des Plaines fire station (EMT’s) 0.6 miles away. Add those to recent growth of multiple new and modern medical labs plus large amounts of Doctors offices in the area and you have a higher level of medical care comfort. Then add the Brookdale scheduled medical appointment transportation to the mix and you have a “as good as it gets” feeling. I know since I use all of these services on a regular basis and am ever more satisfied choosing BDP as my home! Look at my previous reviews on Brookdale Des Plaines Facebook page

I have nothing but good things to say about the facility and the staff that are at Brookdale Assisted Living in DesPlaines IL. The facility is clean, kept in great condition, and have programs to help keep the residents at that facility involved and active. Dining facilities serve great food are very stylish. Overall I am glad I made the choice to place my mom there. Would definitely be a retirement home that I would consider for myself when the time comes.

So far I have been so impressed with Brookdale. The assisted living staff has been wonderful. They communicate with me all the time, address any concerns, help with insurance, etc. It’s so close for me and that’s a bonus. I can get there so quickly. The outside areas are great and cheery with beautiful flowers in the summer. Although my dad doesn’t really utilize all of the social gatherings I think it’s wonderful to have all of the options.

They have an incredible and caring staff. They are respectful, caring, professional and have a positive attitude. I have made friends here who are also veterans, and we have bonded over our shared experiences. I appreciate Brookdale honoring the veterans on holidays. I would highly recommend Brookdale Des Plaines.

Living at Brookdale Des Plaines has been a very positive experience. Because we don't drive, we appreciate the transportation services to doctor appointments, shopping and going out to restaurants. We tell our friends and relatives this is the right home for us.
